To please Putin, universities purge liberals and embrace patriots.
2 weeks before the start of his 25th year as Russia’s supreme political leader, Vladimir Putin made a sweeping proclamation: “Wars are won by teachers.”
The remark shed light on a campaign he is waging: to imbue the country’s education system with patriotism, purge universities of Western influences & quash any dissent among professors & students on campuses that are often hotbeds of political activism.
