Pivovarov and Yashin are both determined dissident politicians. Not far removed at all from the exiled Kasparov, Khodorkovsky or Yulia Navalnaya. They know they cannot return so long as Putin remains in power. Still, they are determined to keep
up the fight from abroad. Besides, the FSB confiscated their Russian foreign travel passports prior to their arrival in Ankara last week. All they have are temporary travel documents in lieu of passports. The only way for them to return to Russia is to be smuggled there.
At the same time though, they will remain targets for FSB intimidation, coercion and assassination.
