Aleksander Butiagin about his stay in Poland. “It's not a pleasant experience”
After returning to Russia, the scientist gave an interview to state media. — I've never been arrested before. Arrest, pre-trial detention, trial, and then the monotony of prison. Almost five months in prison. This is not a pleasant experience. They just wanted to extradite me to Ukraine. Poland didn't need me, he said in an interview with RT television.
He also stated that his case would set a precedent for international law. — Now every Russian scientist who goes to Europe or gets such an opportunity will always remember this. All this works against science and unification, but unfortunately, it is true. The world has changed so terribly, he said.
He also recalled the words he allegedly heard from a Polish policeman. “Now even scientists are being arrested, these are the times,” said Alexander Butyagin.
