  It does if you're also in exile from your birthplace due to it having become an authoritarian state.

    Maybe some people just prefer the authoritarian model. It is not an objective truth that non-authoritarianism > authoritarianism. That's just, like, an opinion, man. Further: when has Russia not been an authoritarian state?

      > when has Russia not been an authoritarian state For a brief time during the Yeltsin years where citizens could elect their own state governors, and not have one appointed by the Kremlin.
