In a recent Mother Jones interview, a former top Russian official broke ranks with Kremlin leaders by condemning his country’s invasion of Ukraine. Russia’s Secretary of the General Council then demanded the official’s “immediate dismissal in disgrace,” accusing him of “national betrayal” for publicly rebuking the war. Today, the official, Arkady Dvorkovich, suddenly resigned from the Skolkovo Foundation, a prestigious center that develops and commercializes advanced technologies.
