Student expelled for criticizing Stalin has been released from military enlistment office

The student from North Ossetia, who was expelled for criticizing Stalin, has been released from the military enlistment office. Doctors diagnosed him with a health condition and gave him a referral for further medical examination.

The 18-year-old Alan Misikov, a former student of the Russian State Social University, shared with '7x7' that he was directed to undergo an additional medical examination and handed a new summons for June 6. He mentioned that there was a '99% chance' of being deemed fit for military service, but during the medical commission, a doctor identified a health condition that Misikov himself was 'unaware of.'

The young man recounted that the day after his expulsion, on May 23, four individuals entered his dorm room: the university’s vice-rector for security, a senior assistant to a military commissioner, a police officer, and an individual whom Misikov described as either a former or current agent of the Federal Security Service. They escorted the former student to a car and transported him to a military enlistment office, where his mobile phone was confiscated.

According to Misikov, the senior assistant to the military commissioner labeled him as 'wanted,' although he did not clarify the basis for this designation. Misikov personally believes that his release was solely due to the media attention his case received. Currently, he resides in a rented apartment, as he lacks property in Moscow and was ousted from the university’s dormitory. In the summons, the military enlistment office listed his postal address as his place of residence.

Alan Misikov from Vladikavkaz encountered issues following a class where he asserted that Stalinist repressions impacted millions of people. His teacher, Andrey Belikov, lodged a complaint with the dean’s office. However, the university refused to acknowledge that Misikov’s expulsion was related to this dispute. Instead, they asserted that he skipped classes and failed to report to the military enlistment office.
