How is Syria's ousted dictator Bashar Assad living in Moscow?

Former Syrian dictator Bashar Assad is avoiding public appearances, possibly due to his wife Asma's illness or for security reasons, Altruist reported.

It is reported that the Assad family has purchased at least 19 apartments in the Russian capital. Russian special services are paying special attention to protecting Assad and his family. It is believed that the threat may come from people from Central Asian countries who want to avenge their dead compatriots.

The Russian press is not covering the Assad family's life in Moscow, considering it a "forbidden topic."

Assad has reportedly not met with President Putin since his arrival in Moscow, and it is unlikely that he will. Assad is expected to focus on business, using the stolen money of the Syrian people.
