Finnish professors criticise plan to close Russian programme in Turku
Original: финский
Finnish professors have publicly criticised plans to shut down the Russian language programme at a university in Turku. They argue that cutting the programme would weaken expertise on Russia and language education at a time when knowledge of the country remains important. The criticism has drawn attention in both Finnish and Russian-speaking circles, with debate over whether universities should maintain Russian studies despite strained relations.
Why now: Academic cuts to Russian studies in Finland remain a sensitive topic given the current political climate with Russia.
