Can’t say this is surprising. Not sure why he would believed that he would be able to go into exile with no consequences. My guess was that his family was threatened, but I admittedly no nothing about Russian politics other than the joke about people constantly falling out of hotel windows.
The threatening the family is normally from the Chinese playbook, but you’re right it doesn’t mean that others can’t do it too. I really don’t understand what he was thinking, either go all the way or nothing. But yeah it’s weird.
He didn’t have nearly enough weapons, manpower, supplies, etc. to successfully take Moscow, so I don’t know if anyone (including himself) really knows what he was intending.
