Far braver than any of you Kremlin apologists will ever be.

MAYBE. Better than the Afghan prez that's for sure.

if they somehow manage to capture him and execute him in the street, or something truly awful like that

WHy would they do that? Worse I can imagine he might get executed after a fake trial for supporting the "nazi" militia, or he goes out in a blazy of glory in fighting. If Russia wanted to kill people they'd be bombing the shit out of Kiev.
