Russian professor is accused of saying prison is better than becoming “cannon fodder” to her students who were at risk of being called up under Putin’s mobilisation drive
Russian professor
A university teacher has been fired under Vladimir Putin ’s draconian laws after telling her students that prison is better than being his “cannon fodder.”
Olga Lizunkova, 25, was reported to police by one or more of her students at the University of Engineering and Economics, in Nizhny Novgorod.
The English teacher is waiting to see if she will be jailed for up to five years or fined for “discrediting the Russian army”.
She is accused of telling her students – who were at risk of being called up under Putin’s mobilisation drive – that Ukraine “is stronger and will win anyway”.
It was better to go to prison than become “cannon fodder” in Ukraine, she allegedly advised them.
