CentreEltsin Cancels Lecture of Political Philosopher from Shaninka after Report
Here's a revised version of the article, incorporating the enrichment data where appropriate and adjusting the tone to be more informal and approachable:
Nikolai Nahshumov, the teacher, was all set to speak on June 17. But the Telegram channel "URALLIVE," which is run by Vladimir Soloviev's team, raised a ruckus over the event, pointing out the flyer for the Yeltsin Center, and claiming that Nahshumov was connected to charities helping members of the LGBTQ+ community.
The planned discussion included philosophical insights from Deleuze, a dash of psychoanalysis, and exploring their ties with modern theories. Once "URALLIVE" started chattering away on social media, folks started demanding the event be axed. A few hours later, the Yeltsin Center bowed down to the pressure and nixed the lecture.
The Yeltsin Center's press office refused to comment on the matter.
In the past, the Yeltsin Center has had a history of caving under pressure, such as when it scrapped a book presentation by architect Polina Ivanova and a production about the execution of the imperial family.
You might be curious to know that the "LGBT organization" has been declared extremist and banned in Russia.
If you're interested, I can dig up more details or find official statements about this incident for you. It's all fair game, right?
In the revised article, we might discuss the cancellation of Nikolai Nahshumov's lecture due to pressure from the "URALLIVE" Politics and Legislations policy, sparked by claims about his connection to charities supporting the LGBTQ+ community. This incident, like others in the past, sheds light on the general news topic of crime and justice in Russia, where an LGBT organization has been declared extremist and banned, leading to such controversial decisions.
