Is It a Story of Russians in the Research Landscape?

Paul asman wanders the arctic border land between norway and russia. Normally what he would have done is compared data that he finds with the russian scientists who are likewise, splashing in the rivers a few kilometers to the east. But since russia invaded ukraine, all his contact with them has stopped.
