Статия в БиБиСи от днес, 02.11.2022, озаглавена "Ukraine war: Russia"s uncertain future a product of its past", разказваща как асоцииран професор в Университета в Санкт Петербург е уволнен за това, че през септември 2022 г. е участвал в митинг против войната. Откъси: On his final day at work, Denis"s students gathered outside the university to say goodbye. In an impromptu speech (the video was posted online) he told them: "What is an immoral act? Acting against your conscience and passively obeying someone else"s orders. I acted according to my conscience. I am sure that the future of our country belongs to you." The students broke into applause for their sacked teacher. "I love my students very much," Denis tells me. "They are very smart and they understand very well what is happening now in Russia. Their [show of] approval was not for me personally. Rather, it was disapproval of what is happening now in Russia. "Many people in Russia don"t dare to protest because they risk being punished for it. But many would like to. And, for these people, providing approval to those who do protest is a way of disagreeing with what is happening in Russia." Denis Skopin"s story highlights not just the pressure which opponents of the Kremlin"s "special military operation" are coming under here. It also raises questions about Russia"s future. "Locked up with me in the detention centre there were IT specialists, scientists, doctors, teachers and students. Many of them are now abroad. Like my cell-mate, a young talented mathematician. "About 25% of my immediate colleagues have already left Russia. They left after 24 February. Some of them left immediately, some left after mobilisation was declared. I think Russia is losing the best people now. The most educated, the most energetic, the most critically thinking people are leaving the country. In short, Russia is going in the wrong direction."
