Yo, Nobody cares…,
Just writing about Russia is enough to get canceled.
I'd say that that one of the greatest intellectual human achievements is modern Russian literature.
That said, Russian history is pathetic. From the pathetic tsars, the pathetic Bolsheviks, the supreme pathetic asshole Stalin, the pathetic Iron Curtain, the current one-party-fascist state -- just pathetic. That's why nations are willing to be subservient to the United States than to, you know, pathetic Russia.
Trivia: so yeah, the tsar had Dostoyevsky banished to a Siberian labour camp. It was that or the firing squad.

Cancelling it not new. It is just high profile now.
Long, long ago, when I was a professor, the university got a grant to bring professors from other schools to campus to expose our students to a wider range. The professors of the university were asked (told) to invite the most famous scholar we knew. I invited a former professor of mine that held a chair at an Ivy League school, had published a lot, and was well-known. Then I was contacted by admin saying that he had written a book on Marxism and I needed to disinvite him. I objected that he was rabidly anti-Marxist. The response was that all the donor had to do was see "Marxism" and they could be turned off. So I had to call him and disinvite him. Not kidding.
That was a close call, Tom. Once your loyalties are in doubt, you may have to register as a foreign agent.
