Russian political scientist Kynev's leg broken in pressure to confess to treason, Schulmann alleges

Political scientist Alexander Kynev, arrested on drug charges, allegedly had his leg broken by individuals demanding a treason confession, according to fellow political scientist Yekaterina Schulmann. The claim is unverified and based on Schulmann's statement, highlighting potential state pressure on dissenting academics in Russia. This incident, if confirmed, signals intensified repression against political scientists in Russia.
