Serbian leadership and security services may well take legal action at the request of the Kremlin or Russia’s security services against any Russian citizen whose activism displeases Moscow, political scientists say.
While it very likely has something to do with his opposition to the war, claiming:
The incident shows that the Serbian leadership and security services may well take legal action at the request of the Kremlin or Russia’s security services against any Russian citizen whose activism displeases Moscow
isn’t much more well reasoned than Serbia claiming:
The paper I was given said that I was banned from entering because I was banned from entering Serbia
We don’t know why he was denied entry, if it was at the specific request of the Kremlin or if it was a Serbian border agent too big for his boots. The fact that the reason he was denied entry was so pathetic leans towards the latter, however.
It’s even more pathetic: he was denied entry at the behest of State Security, after the head of State Security was put under sanctions by the US for being involved in the drug trade.
the fuck is a political scientist
Be nice if politicians had to have a degree in political science.
The linked article makes no mention of political scientists, except for CEPA, which is most definitely not academia, and sounds a lot like an US mouthpiece.
It may be a mouthpiece, but a quick look on their site suggests they have plenty of people who studied political sciences working for them.
Political scientists study the structure and theory of government and seek practical and theoretical solutions to political problems. Most current studies and research concentrate on tangible topics such as welfare reform, political campaigns and elections, foreign relations, and immigration. The vast majority of political scientists are teachers at colleges and universities where they conduct research and write books and articles on political theory. Political scientists armed with the practical and theoretical knowledge of government may enter political life. They generally do not run for public office, but very often their expertise is enlisted by candidates to ensure a successful run or reelection. A great many become political aides, helping those elected analyze and interpret legislative issues and their constituencies. Some become political commentators on television and radio or write columns for newspapers; others become public opinion pollsters.
