When Russia received Rifaat al-Assad as an exile (Abdulrahman al-Rashed, Al Arabiya)

A recently published book by Syrian Vice President Farouq al-Sharaa, who has been out of sight since 2012, describes how Russia agreed to receive Rifaat al-Assad, who had a dispute in 1984 with his brother and late president Hafez over power when the latter suffered health problems. This means it would not be strange if Moscow repeated such an act of containing the Syrian crisis by granting President Bashar al-Assad safe passage or exile.
