Russian historian missing at Ben Gurion Airport
A Russian-Israeli historian named Artyom Kirpichenok disappeared after arriving at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel, raising suspicions that he was detained by Israeli Shin Bet security services immediately after losing contact upon arrival. According to Russian sources, he was scheduled to land in Tel Aviv at 10:50 a.m., but he sent a message confirming his arrival before communication was cut off. Since then, neither his relatives nor colleagues have been able to reach him. Moscow has demanded clarification from Tel Aviv regarding his fate and has inquired with Israeli authorities, but has not yet received an official response. It is worth noting that Kirpichenok holds both Russian and Israeli citizenship, previously served in the Israeli Defense Forces, and holds critical viewpoints regarding Israeli policies and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He was active in scientific events and wrote about the issue. His disappearance comes amid a worsening political and media climate surrounding the circumstances of his possible detention.
