He has been forced to resign from his job at the Moscow State University. Following the event, Russian Wikimedia has decided to dissolve itself.

          Really?

          Indeed. He’s the director of a Russian foundation, teaches at a Russian university, and is being legally bullied by Russia, as you can see from my three-sentence summary. I’m pretty sure you can’t do all that from Portugal or something.

          I think he very much should have thought of himself as one. His mistake.

          He should’ve thought of himself as not currently able to travel to Russia?

          Ok, lol.
