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.
‘supporting the dictatorship’ is the easiest way to live relatively safe life there. It is hard to blame people for trying to survive. Yes that is not a healthy society, but that is not easy to change.
