Russian dissident in Italy, 'bureaucracy blocks my degree'

She fled to Italy when war broke out with Ukraine because she risked jail time for her anti-Putin positions expressed in a blog. Now he signals that bureaucracy is blocking his desire to graduate.
It is the story of Daria Kryukova, told by the local press: Russian dissident, originally from Dubna, 32 years old, lives in Rimini and has asked for political asylum. Already graduated in Sociology in Russia, she passed the test in 'Business Administration and Management'.
"I signed up and I have already given 5 exams, but when it was time to enroll, the University of Bologna denied me the chance," she explains in a letter. "Since I have requested political asylum, but in Rome for the investigation it can also take from one to three years, my residence permit is not considered valid for enrolment. I am enrolled and I gave the exams, but my university career is not activated. But it is a paradox: in Italy as an asylum seeker I can work and pay taxes, but I cannot graduate. I have written to the rector, to the professors, to the secretariat of my faculty, but there is no solution.
A political act by Unibo would be needed." The university could enroll it, then conditioning the possibility of graduating to the final response on the status of political refugee. "But even in this case he could not graduate anyway without Rome's answer," Marco Borraccetti, delegate for refugee students and associate professor in EU law, told Corriere di Bologna. "The question raised by the student is real and serious: asylum seekers cannot enroll. They can enroll in any other school of any order and degree, they can work, but they cannot enroll in Unibo", as in other universities that have not chosen the path of "suspended" enrolment, which are few in Italy.
