Thank you for the answer, that's what I expected (as an answer, I mean). And to respond to a HN-er above who was mentioning that he/she found my question "distasteful" and "insinuating", yes, the reality today is that lots of people involved on one side of the current conflict in Eastern Europe have been receiving prizes and media attention just because of their nationality at this present moment in history, not necessarily because of their actual work in their respective fields. Glad to see that the "judges" (I have no idea who gives up this award, or how) behind the Field Medals have steered clear of all that and have sticked to merit.
