Always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.

Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. C.S. Lewis, 1898 - 1963.

He died back in May, and only now they make it public. Must have had a lot of cleanup to do.

Seems like he just wanted to be himself and only when the guy called and asked to wish him Happy Birthday did the world find out.

Nope.
There was an obscure Russian paper that reported it back in May, it's just that nobody else took notice until some friends from Germany made the annual birthday phone call and learned about it, then went on to let the world know.

I read about him earlier this year when he was still alive - he was not entirely a secret. His family had done some interviews about his actions shortly after his death in May and there was some info on quora about it too.

Glad that there were and are some level headed people in this world.
