Just had to give the pep talk of my life 
I thought about it over night, and remembered what it was like when I was developing and I was always the last to find stuff out, not feeling included in the decision making process etc etc.
So I grabbed him first thing for a coffee, gave him the full story of the project so far, why the specs were light, the challenges that were being faced daily with the business and their requirements fluxing all over the place and what I had done and the lengths I had to go to just to get us where we are now.
A brand new crazy Russian dude. Happy, cooperative and now owning his workload.
