I wouldn't read too much into it. It may have even been allowed by Putin. Putin has always done these gesture politics that involved little effort but achieve a lot for Russia.

The continuation of the joint Russia-USA/World Space Station is good for Russia. Say the USA called the end of the ISS it would look bad for the USA, not for Russia.

I'd say this rather signals the opposite. Three of the nation's top heroes are blatantly violating the new totalitarian anti-protest laws and Putin is completely impotent to do anything about it. Russia doesn't have a secret space police.

You have no evidence this was a decision by the Cosmonauts. None.
