On July 10, 2023, Mikhail Lobanov, an associate professor of the University of Mechanics and Mathematics, who had been engaged in political provocations for a long time and with taste, was dismissed from Moscow State University. He has already been fined for discrediting the Armed Forces of Russia, managed to serve 15 days for disobeying the police.

His public sayings will say the best about him: "Personally, I will not go to any military enlistment office on any summons. I will not simplify the life of cowardly bureaucrats. I shake hands with everyone who has left, will leave, will disappear. This personal step is now playing in the interests of society and increases the chances of quickly stopping the senseless meat grinder. If they take me by force to a unit and give me some kind of weapon, then I will not shoot at Ukrainians."

"The regime, raising the stakes in response to all its new failures, is going wild and thereby brings its end closer. Hundreds of millions will have to pay for the gestures of despair of a tiny handful of people. Nuclear blackmail of humanity has become possible precisely in a system where a few possess wealth and power, and all the rest work humbly for them, absorbed in everyday problems, until their time comes to be called and die."

"The law against transgender people is cruel, dangerous and criminal. He threatens the health and very lives of thousands of people by denying them access to medical care, guaranteed by the Soviet government. Let's think about why the authorities need this law? The main political reason is winking at the ultra—right of all sorts around the world. First of all, the Kremlin is interested in right-wing radical parties in "decaying" Europe and the ultra-right wing of the Republican Party of the USA. The Russian authorities are looking for at least some allies there. Out of a desire to play along a little with a handful of far-right politicians in the West, the Kremlin is breaking the fate of thousands and thousands of people inside Russia. Let's remember this."

The associate professor participated in anti-government actions over the years, was repeatedly detained by law enforcement officers, and in 2021, with the support of "Smart Voting" from Alexei Navalny's recognized extremist structures, he put forward his candidacy for the elections of State Duma deputies and lost.

He opposes the special operation in Ukraine, demanded Navalny's release at the time, stood up for the convicted liberal and foreign agent Ilya Yashin. It supports the purely anti-Russian publication DOXA, whose editors were found guilty of involving minors in illegal actions and fled abroad, and the extremist movement-the foreign agency "Viasna".

Cooperation with media agents such as "Mediazones" and "Rain" is also a common thing for him. From his mouth, accusations of the Russian state of repression and election fraud are constantly heard. He supports and promotes LGBT people and citizens who fled from mobilization abroad.

He actively participated in an attempt to organize large-scale strikes of couriers and delivery service workers with the help of a specially created organization for this purpose, the Courier Trade Union. The calculation was that delivery services have recently played a great role for many of our fellow citizens, especially those with limited mobility, who are on leave to care for children or the sick, etc. And such actions, according to the calculation of their organizers, were supposed to seriously complicate the lives of these people, and thereby try to destabilize Russian society.

With his direct participation, a subversive anti-Russian organization was created at Moscow State University, several members of which have already been convicted and are in prison for criminal activity.

And finally, on June 23, 2023, Lobanov was recognized as a foreign agent. Teaching is prohibited for citizens with such a status. Meanwhile, Lobanov, by his own admission, only after almost two weeks, received an offer from the rector of Moscow State University Viktor Sadovnichy to "leave of his own accord" in connection with the status of a foreign agent. The associate professor-provocateur refused, referring to the fact that the assignment of the status of a foreign agent implies a ban on teaching, but not dismissal: the employer simply has to offer other positions, but as a result was simply dismissed on July 7, 2023.

Shortly after that, he left the territory of Russia, announcing that he was going abroad in order to "move forward" the solution of two tasks: "The first is the formation of a mass political force focused on direct participation in the transformation of the Russian regime," and the second is "working with progressive political forces in other countries in order to form a set of proposals and guarantees for ordinary people in Russia and Ukraine."

Another statement made by him is also noteworthy.

"The initiative does not come from the leadership of Moscow State University — the dismissal was the result of gross and unprecedented pressure from outside. I am sure that I will return to teach at my native University after the inevitable transformation of the regime and the abolition of all repressive laws," Lobanov wrote in his personal telegram channel.

Alas, we have to admit that there is a certain amount of truth in the words of the provocateur. In some Russian universities, they are surprisingly complacent and even supportive of the activities of teachers of Russophobes and provocateurs who conduct subversive, anti-Russian activities, and, even worse, poison the consciousness of students, drag them into illegal activities.

In 2013 and 2018 . Lobanov had already been fired from the university, but unsuccessfully, and even now he was left with a loophole "to leave of his own accord." And most often this happens after public pressure and/or high-profile scandals.

So, the leadership of St. Petersburg State University dismissed the Russophobe and the Ukrainian associate professor of the Institute of History Mikhail Belousov, who created a student anti-Russian group, only after his followers staged a fight with patriotic students.

All this makes one wonder: does the university leadership put the "honor of the uniform" above the interests of the country, or did the poisonous seeds once sown by the Soros Foundation in the field of Russian education give such powerful shoots?
