Today I have attended Kolmogorov seminar, an online math seminar that’s usually held in Russian, but sometimes is held in English, organized by two professors of Lomonosov Moscow State University. There, they complained that their German colleagues have refused to give their upcoming talks because the seminar is associated with Russia, the agressor in the war. I’m annoyed that things like this happen. But this particular case will probably not be a big problem because the organizers plan to just remake the seminar and make it hosted (as if that means anything given that it’s online) by a French university with which one of the organizers is affiliated.
