An Italian university reversed course on a decision to postpone a course on 19-century Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last week.

Paoli Nori, a writer who had been asked by the University of Milano-Bicocca to voluntarily teach a four-session course on the author, took to Instagram in an emotional video after he was told in an email that his classes had been postponed.
