He is known to public
I think, that's what the speaker interviewed in the article means - that Bolotskyh is not an unknown person, his death would not be easy to conceal and this is one of the reasons for his still being alive. It's not that he is famous or is widely talked about - it's simply that the fact of his existence is known to a wider circle of people.
