TITLE: Is St. Petersburg a good place for the 2022 Int. Congress of Mathematicians
QUESTION [113 upvotes]: There might be just enough time to pick another location, but I am curious what mathematicians think. Will Ukrainian mathematicians be able to attend a conference in Russia if Russia no longer recognizes their passports?
To be clear: I love Russia, and I am not trying to hurt the feelings of Russian mathematicians or people.
The International Mathematical Union (IMU) have made a decision on moving the ICM to a virtual event, but there is still the (less exciting) decision to make concerning the location of IMU General Assembly.

REPLY [50 votes]: The IMU reached their decision, the ICM will take place entirely virtually except for the IMU general assembly and awards ceremony which will take place in-person outside of Russia. No word on whether Russian government involvement in organizing will continue.  Further details to come.
Terry Tao, who is the chair of the ICM Structure Committee, is inviting discussion of how to best use the virtual format on his blog.
The IMU executive committee has released some further clarifications, including announcing that there will be no Russian government involvement in the ICM.
