Nathan Smith, one of the leaders of the Texas Nationalist Movement which seeks independence from the US and is in Moscow at the invitation of the Kremlin-backed Anti-Globalist Movement of Russia.
Smith’s group is a marginal one, and any support he might pick up in the Russian capital is likely to make it more so by alienating even those Texans who like himself are inclined to identify as Texans first and Americans second but who are unlikely to welcome the idea that their state could become independent with help from Moscow.
