⚡️🇸🇾🇷🇺 NEW - After being overthrown and fleeing Syria in December 2024, Bashar al-Assad is living a quiet, luxurious exile in Russia, largely cut off from politics and public life.
He is reportedly studying Russian and brushing up on ophthalmology, his original profession, more out of personal interest than necessity.
Assad and his family are believed to live in Moscow’s elite Rublyovka district, supported by wealth shielded from western sanctions.
Despite their comfort, they remain isolated, with Russian authorities restricting Assad from media or political activity.
Asma al-Assad, who was receiving cancer treatment in Moscow, has reportedly recovered.
Their children are adapting to life among Moscow’s elite, studying, shopping and travelling frequently to the UAE, though permanent relocation there appears unlikely.
