Idk where you are getting this, but "risk to his life from being on the free internet" is total BS.

It's happened in China:

>Gao Yu, a veteran independent journalist and dissident, has been harassed by police repeatedly for visiting and posting on Twitter.

It's already banned in Russia, it's not crazy to say that you could get in trouble.

Recently they have been cracking down even more. (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr510de17jlo)

This is not what you said and what I've commented on. Usage of VPN is not illegal in Russia at the moment and "risk to his life from being on the free internet" is indeed total bullshit. It is not "crazy" to say, just incorrect(false).
