Unfortunatly, Mr. Pyshnov is mostly his own victim as well as a victim of his hopes and dreams. Those supporting him have their own axes to grind and are willing to let Pyshnov be a martyr for their cause. As far as I can tell, the supposed villain 'Larsen' is completely innocent of any wrong doing. Mr. Pyshnov is attacking the wrong target - which is himself, his supposed supporters, and the very real political and administrative corruption that is pervasive not only in Universities but all 'power' organizations. As soon as science, religion, or anything else becomes a source of money, power, or prestige certain people show up, take over the organization or system, and use it for their own purposes. For instance, before oil the big money maker in Arabia was robbing the pilgrims and even selling some of them into slavery. That is what control of the holy sites was all about. One can find similar examples in Christian, Jewish, Communist, Born-again, New age, Etc. history. Remember, we recently had a 'gure' who needed a different rolls royes car for every day of the month and whose followers were pioneers in the use of biological warfare for political purposes.
As far as Mr. Pyshnov is concerned, dreams are hard to give up when it is all one has. Remember, some orthodox jews are still waiting for the Messiah and some of the born-again still try to suggest that 9,11 was a punishment of America for it's 'sins'.

The key to understanding Mr. Pyshnov's situation is GSU at the University of Toronto. Mr. Pyshnov may have a legitimate grievience but his rantin, raving behaviour does not help his cause. Mr. Pyshnow may in fact be a victiom of some truly evil people who told him that Ms. Larsen is protected by her 'Jewishness' because of the holocaust. If any one set Mr. Pyshnow up this way and if there is a Hell that person belongs there.
Meanwhile, the problem of abuse and exploitation of graduate students is real and deserves attention.
I have sent a small contribution to 'The committee in Support of Michael Pyshnov' c/o GSU at U of T.
Although I would like to see this matter pursued, I also feel that the GSU has different priorities than Mr. Pyshnov. It is possible for them tho win and yet for Mr. Pyshnov to loose.
