Anzhelika Artyukh
Date: February 5, 2024
Type of violation: dismissal
Institution: St. Petersburg State Institute of Cinema and Television

Summary: The management of the St. Petersburg State Institute of Cinema and Television offered film critic Anzhelika Artyukh to resign “of her own free will.” This was reported by “Beware of News” with a link to Artyukh’s now hidden post on Facebook.

Details: As Anzhelika Artyukh said, the institute’s administration was afraid to keep her in her position because of her research into Western cinema, her receipt of a scholarship from the Fulbright Foundation, and her trips to the United States. Angelica Artyukh links her dismissal to her participation in a rally in support of Navalny in 2021, the persecution of professors visiting Western countries, as well as the change of the rector at St. Petersburg State Institute of Film and Television (SPbGIKiT) – the previous one, according to university employees, was forced to resign from his post in December 2022.

Co-authors. Who and How Fabricated the Case Against Physicist Oleg Kabov?

During the trial of physicist Oleg Kabov, it emerged that the criminal case had been initiated by two of his former students. One of them, after threatening Kabov, joined the FSB (Federal Security Service of Russia), after which the second student filed a denunciation against his former scientific supervisor. It also became clear that the embezzlement case lacked any financial evidence, and that the allegations regarding the falsification of Kabov’s scientific results had been manufactured by FSB officers. The prosecution is demanding a seven-year prison term, a significant fine, and a three-year prohibition on conducting scientific research. The defendant has asked the judge to reopen the investigation. The judge must now decide whether there is sufficient information to deliver a verdict or if the case should be sent back for further investigation.
