Not really, no. As an ex-convict with massive fines he can't pay who is unable to leave the country and a newborn child, I cannot really blame him for not sticking his neck out publicly in an increasingly totalitarian state, nor for being angry about the sanctions obliterating his already bad financial situation and freezing a portion of the already small amount of money that had already been given to him.

Imagine how you would feel if you worked for minimum wage at McDonalds and the police froze up your savings accounts for more than a year because a distant uncle you've never seen was discovered to be a hitman for the mafia.
