“Some Russian academics, including critics of the Kremlin living abroad, have defended Butyagin as a scientist engaged in research rather than a political actor.”
This says all you need to know about these so-called critics of the Kremlin living abroad. In the end they’re just russian imperialists. Because this is definitely not just research. Ukrainian archaeological treasures are being excavated by an archaeologist from the Hermitage in St Petersburg. So Ukraine’s cultural heritage is being robbed and taken to russia.
It’s imperialism in the very old-fashioned 19th century sense: Napoleon bringing art from Egypt, Italy, the Netherlands and other occupied territories to the Louvre. Britain shipping treasures from across the Empire to the British Museum. And while the rest of the world now understands this was wrong, russia just keeps doing it.
