Kolezev left Russia in March. “I understand that at the moment and in the near future, the state considers people like me 'undesirable'. I want to continue to write and say what I think, but, probably, for some time it is better to do this by changing geography, ”he wrote in the Telegram channel.

The reason for the lawsuit was two statements by Solovyov on the air.
