The Ministry of Internal Affairs did not find violations in the posts of a professor at St. Petersburg State University, who offered to «buy a liberal's liver» and «throw a hydrogen bomb» in response to sanctions

The Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region did not find «violations of the law on countering extremism» in the posts of St. Petersburg State University professor Nikolai Mezhevich. Dmitry Gryaznov, deputy rector of the university, cited excerpts from the police response.

In March, the student council asked the leadership of St Petersburg University to check the posts of the teacher on VKontakte, and the university sent the students' appeal to the police.

Mezhevich — Professor, Department of European Studies, Faculty of International Relations, St. Petersburg State University. After the Russian invasion, he became the author of an online course at St Petersburg University about the «systemic crisis» in Ukraine, spoke about Emmanuel Macron's «Napoleon complex» and suggested «turning off these dogs (Europe — MZ) from the gas.»

Student magazine Studen drew attention to the posts from Mezhevich's page on VKontakte. The professor himself claimed that he did not write them and that his account was hacked. He also closed the page, citing «rather unoriginal curses» coming to him.

After the start of the war, the author of the page with the name of Mezhevich wrote that he wanted to buy a «fresh liver of a liberal», offered to hang a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada «on his own intestine» and «throw a hydrogen bomb» in response to sanctions and the withdrawal of Western companies from the Russian market.

“Today I have great joy,” the author of the page commented on the news about the murder of American journalist Brent Renault near Kiev. He also posted a meme in which the face of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was photoshopped onto a portrait of SS officer Kurt Meyer with the caption “I **** [fucked] my grandfather’s mouth. I ****** [fucking] scum and fascist.”
