The Propaganda of the MGB Guys

"I knew straight away where it was going so I knew they were going to use me for propaganda just because in their eyes someone with a hundred and fifteen thousand followers in Russian standards make some a celebrity. So from that very moment like day after day they would bring like new people to interview me the MGB guys themselves," he says. "But at the same time I knew like they massively screwed up because I remembered I did the proof of life video so I knew 100% people would now see what they've done to me." He adds: "The other thing that was quite interesting on reflection as well is how my mom could still hear that I was still alive"
