Political science professor at Belarus State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics (BSUIR) Aliaksandr Hronski has left his job and moved to Moscow, Nasha Niva reports.
"This professor no longer works here. He has moved to Moscow,” journalists were told at BSUIR.
Alyaksandr Hronski is a well-known ‘Western Russian’ who claims that Belarusians are not a people but just an ethnic group of the Russian people. Interestingly, Hronski taught the basics of Belarusian statehood to students.
His departure from Belarus may be connected with the criminal case opned against pro-Russia collumnists in Belarus – Paulavets, Alimkin and Shyptenka. Paulavets worked in BSUIR before the arrest.
What does ‘the Western Russian’ do now?
Hronski has become a leading specialist of the sector of Byelorussia, Moldavia and Ukraine at the Post-Soviet Research Centre of the Yevgeniy Primakov Institute of World Economy and International Relations.
