TL;DR Summary

A Russian trainspotter who spent years tracking and photographing Putin's secret train has fled the country and now lives in exile in Sri Lanka. Mikhail Korotkov feared for his safety after seeing suspicious online conversations and fearing that his hobby could be used against him by the Russian government. Korotkov had been careful not to attract too much attention to his blog, "Railway Life," where he posted about Putin's train, but ultimately decided to shut it down and leave the country after the start of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
