The Bolsavik’s here because he was fired from his previous job as an editor at Nguoi Viet.

Read story by My-Thuan Tran on the L.A. Times here.

Actually the way the Bolsavik was fired was a little complicated. In early February when the protests began, he was dismissed from his position as Managing Editor but still kept on staff as a Vice President with no portfolio and told to stay away from the office. During February from time to time the CEO would be sending him stuff to do at home. It wasn’t until March 4 that the Bolsavik was told of his termination from the company.
