Polish historian expelled from Russia
The FSB of Russia detained and presented a notice of the immediate expulsion from the country of the Polish historian Henryk Glebotsky. In Russia, Glebotsky was engaged in research on Polish-Russian relations in the 19th-20th centuries, according to the Institute of National Memory of Poland (IPN).
The scientist also, at the invitation of the Polish Institute in St. Petersburg, held two open lectures on November 22 and 23, dedicated to the fate of the Poles and the anniversary of the “Polish operation” of the NKVD during the Great Terror in 1937-1938. The FSB's decision means a ban on the historian's entry into the country in the future and, accordingly, a ban on access to the archives necessary for the research that Glebotsky has been doing for the past 25 years, IPN notes.
In October, Dmitry Karnaukhov, a professor at the Novosibirsk State Technical University, was expelled from Poland. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation , he was charged with activities “with elements of a hybrid war”, directed against Polish interests and “in favor of a hostile state”, maintaining contacts with Russian special services, organizing and conducting pro-Russian propaganda. The Foreign Ministry then promised to respond to the expulsion of the scientist.
