Not sure whats all the hate about. Bunch of flag wavers I guess. I'd be a citizen of the world if I could.

Good point lol.

Well, he can get in to E.U. on a U.S. one, which grants him a 90 days visa by default upon arrival, where he can only do touristy stuff. You need to apply for a permit to do school or in this case business.

By Why Russia? I meant does he have a lot going on there?

Yeah, I said the same thing. Haha. With a US Passport, you can get into EU countries without the need for a visa. Doing business (getting paid) is the easy part for entertainers / independent contractors. You can always get paid via cash, *******, paypal, bank wire transfer, etc.

Why Russia? He gets booked for fights in Russia, meaning he makes some nice income there. He's even had TV Show appearances there. These days his biggest paychecks have come from Russian bookings. Popular US entertainers can make very good money overseas because people in foreign countries rarely have the opportunity to see/meet US celebrities. Besides that, it's always a PLUS to have a second citizenship in another country.
