so I suspect he doesn't live there now:

The Kremlin has hit back after French actor Gerard Depardieu accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of "crazy, unacceptable excesses" in Ukraine.

Depardieu said the Russian people were not responsible for their president's behaviour.

In 2015, Ukraine banned him from entering the country for five years after he supported Russia's annexation of Crimea.

Despite this, the actor denounced the war in Ukraine shortly after it began in February and called for negotiations.
