At the end of July in a comment on one of Stefan Molybeux’s YouTube videos, you wrote as follows regarding the university you claim you work as a tenured professor at:
“I cannot say the name of the college for legal reasons. As I told the Irish guy it is a large South Dublin University and that is enough for anyone familiar with Ireland to figure out which one. “

You had previously written at the top of the YouTube sub thread:
“I was suspended by my university in Ireland when I published some papers critical of feminism and of the left in general. The administration claimed that I had used my position as a tenured professor to disseminate views that were not in keeping with the ethos of the institution.”
You then wrote that you had to employ the services of a legal firm to secure your position.
On September 26th of medium.com, I pointed out to you that you have not given enough information “for anyone familiar with Ireland to figure out which one”. I’m from Ireland and I can’t figure out which one because there are, in fact, two universities in the south side of Dublin: Trinity and UCD.
In response, you wrote, “There are two main universities in south Dublin. I do not work for Trinity, although my department has a lot of interconnectivity with Trinity. There are also a whole string of smaller campuses around South Dublin which are offshoots of either Trinity or UCD. In my first years in Ireland I also taught some courses at both Trinity and DIT but I was never there very long”
So, you ruled out Trinity but didn’t rule out UCD. A reasonable person would then conclude that you are claiming by inference to work as a tenured professor at UCD (or one of its offshoots).
You go on to explain why you won’t name the university you work in.
“I am not legally barred from saying the name of my college. I am just careful on-line because I get a lot of mail campaigns too. It is not just me. Many other people in Irish colleges come in for the same kind of flack. My students and several of my colleagues got it too.”
And
“So I can use the name of the university freely and often do, just not on-line. One reasons for this is that some of the threads I post on attract genuinely misogynistic people or people who support Nazism or whatever. I do not want to be associated with them.”
Whatever happened to the misandry you so often rail against online?
If I’m reading you correctly, what you are saying here is that if you reveal you are a tenured professor at UCD, then because of your expressed viewpoints online (for example, your criticisms of feminism and social Marxism) the regressive left of Ireland and elsewhere may label you a Nazi or a misogynist or a far right white supremacist. Well, I think I agree with at least 90% of what you write and I am happy to express my views anywhere and I couldn’t give a flying f@&k what the regressive left thought of me.
I went over to the UCD School of History contact page.

and I can’t find any member of staff, postdoctoral, adjunct professor et cetera who has the name “Lana Voreskova” or any other Russian sounding name for that matter. I see that one of your fellow members of staff is Diarmaid Ferriter. You have my sympathy.
I suppose it is possible that Lana Voreskova is in fact a pseudonym. This may explain why you have had difficulty taking down the blogspot blog. If Lana Voreskova is your real name, it would be easier to take it down, I think.
In my previous comment, I wrote that I believe your story. I take that back. The onus is on you to prove that you are who you say you are, not on me to believe your story. Until you prove it, all it is is a claim.
You have effectively claimed to be a tenured professor at UCD. But, I can’t find any evidence that you are a professor at UCD.
