Briefly: Stanislav Kozlovsky, the director of Russian Wikimedia project (which supports the Russian Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikisource, etc.), has been declared a “foreign agent” by Russia. He has been forced to resign from his job at the Moscow State University. Following the event, Russian Wikimedia has decided to dissolve itself.

Quite a lot of Russians are not currently able to travel to Russia.
Ok, and? It’s completely obvious the person in question is not among those.
Really? I think he very much should have thought of himself as one. His mistake.
Indeed. He’s the director of a Russian foundation, teaches at a Russian university, and is being legally bullied by Russia, as you can see from my three-sentence summary. I’m pretty sure you can’t do all that from Portugal or something.
He should’ve thought of himself as not currently able to travel to Russia?
Ok, lol.
Yes. If you are a Russian willing to say anything but what Putin permits, you should not travel to Russia. Putin has more say over what happens in Russia than other Russians do.
You may fall out of a window.
They also can’t leave.
