Former Moscow policeman Maksim Zlobov turned in his badge after attending an anti-war rally following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. He says he fled Russia in April after a new law was passed making it more difficult to avoid conscription. He joins the hundreds of thousands of others who have left wartime Russia to live abroad.
