Do they? Obviously a letter would draw signatures from those of us
outside Russia with access to free media. But at least in past
conflicts, I have only heard our colleagues in Russia support whatever
narrative is being presented on Russian state television. What good is a
collective letter from Uralicists where more than half of the scholars
in our field are unlikely to be represented?

Also, I imagine that some whose careers involve fieldwork would be
worried about the harm this could do to their future prospects for being
granted Russian visas.
