    Apart from the pure evilness, think about the level of pettiness shown here.

    Putin invests probably millions and thousands of agents for what exactly? Revenge on a handful of people who silently left?

      It’s exactly how KGB worked. It’s not that everyone would be caught, or everyone was a KGB agent, it was about instilling fear so that everyone would behave out of fear of disappearing.
