Russel Brand is a ridiculous, self serving clown...not surprising that doom porn addicts are drawn to him. I doubt very much that he would chose to live in a totalitarian state like Russia, and of course if he did his big mouth would be forcibly shut unless it was trumpeting Putin lies. How fortunate he is to live somewhere he can spout whatever he choses, with no fear of a modern Gulag, AND make some nice bank in the process.
