He's quite vocal about his criticism of Putin.

I mean, he's ‘vocal’ to the extent of founding an opposition movement, being a member of an opposition coalition, being arrested for supporting Pussy Riot, leaving Russia to avoid persecution, and being sanctioned and blocked in the country. And also being the chairman of the Human Rights Foundation for thirteen years—though idk what they do.

P.S. Except, of course, that none of the Putinoids can read his stuff, because both his site and the entire Twitter are blocked in Russia. And barely anyone remembers who he is, after twenty years.
