London is quite close compared to Mexico City, where Trotsky was assassinated in.

Some of them, even Putin allies, may want to get rid of Putin.

Either the west cares about Russia and wants Putin gone or the west wants a weak Russia and wants Putin to stay stealing its resources. I'd say we are okay with either.

I am just astounded that he actually expects someone with a brain to believe it.

It's not for faith, it creates a background, a kind of hidden advertisement.

I suspect you don't know what you are talking about.
"Libel" becomes "libel" only when defamation ( i.e. the action of damaging the good reputation of someone with NO real ground) can be proven. So it's a matter of law.
If someone is sarcastic towards your favorite leader, this doesn't make satire a "libel" (or "пасквиль,") since no one can legally prove that what's stated in the mentioned satire is NOT true. ( With other words, if you don't like something, that doesn't mean that it's a lie.)

Now this particular Visotsky's song you've posted was not satire, but HUMOR ( Visotsky overall was not satirical, he was humorous.) Although, I imagine some zealous Semites could identify his song as a "libel" as well)))

Apparently it's not a case, otherwise Russian mafiosi would be moving to Mexico City in droves.
But they clearly prefer London.

Ariete is saying they used to prefer Mexico City. I don't know how much is true, but some did go there into exile. London isn't so much exile as it is a safe place to run with cash and laws to protect you. What it isn't safe from is assassins apparently. Neither was Mexico City for Trotsky
