Russia: academic fired from St. Petersburg university after supporting jailed 'anti-war' artist in court
Svetlana Drugoveyko-Dolzhanskaya, a philologist who provided expert testimony supporting Sasha Skochilenko, a jailed artist who is currently under investigation for replacing supermarket price tags with anti-war statements, has been fired from her teaching position at St. Petersburg State University.
Drugoveyko-Dolzhanskaya now said that she had been fired for “committing an amoral act” and said she would challenge the decision in court despite not expecting a verdict in her favour.
