Briefly: Stanislav Kozlovsky, the director of Russian Wikimedia project (which supports the Russian Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikisource, etc.), has been declared a “foreign agent” by Russia. 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.

      Yes. If you are a Russian willing to say anything but what Putin permits, you should not travel to Russia. Putin has more say over what happens in Russia than other Russians do.

      You may fall out of a window.

        No no, please don’t get out of that armchair to pick up a book or something. It’s fine to spout nonsense like nonsense like a delirious old man who forgot his medication.

          You think the FSB having people killed is nonsense…? Are you a Russian ally?

            Jesus, you’re as dense as a block of wood but not nearly as useful.

              Ah, direct insults instead of actually talking about Russia. I think we have our answer.
