Putin's trolls want you to believe that all Russians despised me as a "fomentor of revolution." Yet everywhere I went as Ambassador to Russia, including even Putin's Sochi Olympics in 2/2014, Russians stopped me & asked to take photos with me. Maybe this is why Putin banned me? 
At the Sochi Olympics in 2014, I was constantly asked to pose for these photos. These Russians are not "revolutionaries." & they approached me, not the other way around.
Until I was banned by Putin, hundreds of students would attend my talks at universities, And so we instead invited students to come my residence. These events would sell out in minutes.
And I would spend hours standing for photos at events at Spaso House. "Usurper"? "Dangerous fomentor of revolution?" "Enemy of the people?" "Russophobe"? Really? C'mon man! These are all Russians in these photos.
