Dostoevsky Teaching Banned

Italy’s main University in Milan just banned teaching Fyodor Dostoevsky because he’s a Russian writer. Dostoevsky was sent to a Siberian labour camp for reading banned books in Tsarist Russia. We are reaching levels of hatred and stupidity that I thought were never possible. Non è stato cacciato perché russo ma perché supporta le idee di Putin e si è rifiutato di prendere le distanze da quello che sta facendo. I personaggi pubblici hanno anche questo tipo di responsabilità. Da sempre Его выгнали не за то, что он русский, а за то, что он поддерживает идеи Путина и отказывается дистанцироваться от того, что он делает. Общественные деятели несут такую ответственность.

A screenshot of a Twitter exchange about an Italian university allegedly banning the teaching of Fyodor Dostoevsky because he was Russian. The reply corrects the framing, saying the issue was support for Putin and refusal to distance himself from Russia’s actions. The meme is used to mock simplistic anti-Russian reactions and distinguish nationality from political responsibility.
