With totalitarian governments, you never know.

Look what happened to Alexei Navalny.

Look what happened to Sergei and Yulia Skripal in UK?

Again, I am not saying the other governments are saints, but I feel you have much more options in democratic countries.

The UK is Russia's poison playground so in this instance it would seem that realistically no one is safe, even if you reside in a democratic country. But then again these were people with major clout or enemies of the state.
