From Oxford historian Georgy Kantor on Twitter:

The best Russian expert (and genuinely important scholar) on Neo-Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy, Svetlana Mesiats, has been put under house arrest in the investigation of ‘fraudulent translations of Aristotle’. https://iphras.ru/messiats.htm

He explains:

About 10 people been called for interrogation, there are searches in the Institute of Philosophy building. Apparently a revenge for the refusal to elect Anatoly Chernyaev, an ideologist of the Ukrainian war, as the Institute director. Truly back to 1937.

I hope it’s not really back to 1937, or they’ll be excecuted, and not only harassed and arrested. What a disgrace.
