Stupidity

The University of Milano-Bicocca has Italian cancelled and then uncancelled a course in Dostoevsky because of the war in the Ukraine.

Just to update you, Dostoevsky DIED 141 YEARS AGO.

This is unbelievably f%$#ing stupid.

Italy’s main University in Milan had almost banned a course on Fyodor Dostoevsky from teaching because he is a Russian writer due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine!

However, the decision is reported to be revoked following massive backlash on social media.

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, sometimes transliterated as Dostoyevsky, was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, and journalist.

………

Following the outcry, the university on Wednesday has released a statement on its social media accounts confirming the course would go ahead.

“The University of Milano-Bicocca is a university open to dialogue and listening even in this very difficult period that sees us dismayed at the escalation of the conflict,” the statement said.

The world is broken.
