Mikhail Korotkov, a Russian trainspotter, spent years tracking and photographing President Vladimir Putin’s special hush-hush, deluxe armored train. He was the first enthusiast to post an image of the train online in 2018. However, strange messages appeared on his YouTube page in May 2021, and he interpreted them as a warning to stop. Fearing for his safety, he shut down his blog and fled Russia in September 2022. He now lives in Sri Lanka, running online IT training courses for a Russian company.
