Russia’s Institute of Philosophy raided over fraud case tied to Aristotle translation project — the institute had previously been accused of disloyalty to the Kremlin.

Security personnel raided the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences as part of a fraud investigation into funds allocated for a translation of Aristotle. The pro-government Telegram channels Zapiski Traditsionalista (“Notes of a Traditionalist”) and AGDChan — the latter linked to philosopher Alexander Dugin — were among the first to report the searches. The post on AGDChan was later deleted, but a copy survives.
