Important takeaway:
Fortunately for Glukhovsky, he is not actually in Russia, and was sentenced in absentia. His current whereabouts are unknown.

The US doesn't normally permit trials in absentia.
Apparently this is not a universal norm, and some EU member states do. Apparently, based on this article, Russia does as well.
