'The most educated, the most energetic, the most critically-thinking people are leaving the country,' Professor Denis Skopin said.
After his arrest, he received a dismissal order from the university that said that"the act committed by the employee is immoral and incompatible with the implementation of educational functions and the continuation of this work." Still, the professor was lauded by his students on his last day of work, according to the BBC.
"Now, it's very different and, as far as I know, at some universities, they ask MA students to teach instead of professors," he added."You can imagine how it will impact Russian system of education, Russian university system. It's a catastrophe." According to the professor, a country without internationally-renowned scientists has no future, adding that"Russian science is dead after 24 February," which is the date of when the country invaded Ukraine in what Putin called a"special military operation."
