In the past twenty years, despite Russia's slide toward authoritarianism, a strong and growing community of social scientists emerged in the country. However, in recent years, more and more scholars were forced out of their jobs or faced persecution from the state, and after Russia started its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, we saw an exodus of leading researchers. Our panel will discuss the implications of the governmental pressures on Russian academia, to what extent academic freedom still exists in Russia, the challenges that Russian scientists face in their research, and the impact of the invasion of Ukraine on the prospects of Russia's scientific community.
