Ivan Pavlov, 50, is the latest high-profile, opposition-linked figure to leave Russia, as a crackdown on dissenting voices intensifies ahead of parliamentary elections later this month.
He also handled the case of former journalist Ivan Safronov, who was arrested in July, 2020 on treason charges and is accused of passing state secretes to Czech intelligence. But, he said, “the bans did not apply to one thing — leaving the country. It was a sign pointing to the exit.” He said that he had arranged for his clients to be represented by other “reliable lawyers” in his absence and added that he planned to return to Russia one day.
