The presidents of Russia and the Russian Academy of Sciences Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Forts yesterday discussed the draft law on the reform of the key scientific structure of the country. Her supervisor asked me not to hurry and to give him a year to rectify the situation. The head of state insisted that haste is needed, and offered to the other party to dealing with reform. The high sides parted, promising to think about what has been said to each other again. However, the State Duma, which yesterday discussed the law in the first reading, the talks between the two presidents had no reconciling, and the opposite effect. After all, as it turned out, the Duma majority on the team came sharply accelerated. Transfer of the second reading of the fall has been canceled, it will be held on July 5. The opposition began to object to threaten a boycott of meetings, and the Communist Party has announced its intention to prepare a vote of no confidence in the government by next we ek.
Vladimir Putin listened to the request of the Acting RAS President Vladimir Fortova for an urgent meeting to exchange views on the government bill to reform the management system of the Russian science. Yesterday the meeting was held, and the exchange of views on it happened. But, as it turned out almost immediately, came a one-sided conversation. Take, for example, one of the controversial points of the draft – the appointment of directors of academic institutions. Proposal president president of the RAS was this: “In the Presidential Council for Education and Science to create the most significant and internationally recognized scientists separate structure that would take over the function – the appointment of directors of scientific institutions to assess the results of scientific activity, and thus , to a large extent influence the allocation of funds. ” According to Putin, worthless to those directors appointed officials.
In turn, the head of state Forts makes a counter-offer – even postpone the adoption of the law in the first reading in the fall. It is good to discuss, weigh and then not in a hurry to alter the decisions taken. Putin meets strange phrase reminiscent of his earlier statements, for example, that the Attorney General to call on the “Yukos case”, he could not. “This would be possible if the government did not introduce a bill. Now we have to make a decision. Sometimes it’s better to make a decision to modify, than stagnate, “- said the president.
And then from Putin to be “Alaverdi” Fortov. Like, not if he would like to lead the Agency for Property Management Academy. “We need to conduct an audit of how to manage the property of the RAS, what the problems are, how to set up all the great gear. It would be possible to combine the transition period as president of the Academy of Sciences and the head of the agency, “- said P utin. Forts promised to think, but Putin put forward a counter-initiative, “Give me a year. If I do not do it – I will remove you. ” “We will win the bureaucracy” – almost swore academician.
As the Forts after a meeting with the Russian president, Putin has promised to consider his proposal. Thus Forts noticed that reflect on the Putin’s initiatives. And they heard plenty.

For example, the president told the President of RAS: “In recent years, along with well-known in the world of science by people who have done a lot of applied and basic research in the ranks of the academy are increasingly flash names of my colleagues from different departments – the high-level officials.” In this regard, Putin suggested that those ought to decide: “What they are making a real contribution to science, as they will continue to align its operations – in the administrative structures, or in the scientific field.” And with the update Academy Putin vowed not to rush the other party. Like, it’s not so much the age, but in the fact that the head was working. And that, he said, “the place of experienced and active people have not come such experts who speak boldly and move quickly, but still have not grown up to lead the entire industry».
In short, the meeting ended as positive. However, Forts, coming from her, for some reason began to say that in the DG bill is passed in the first and second readings now. And a third, which moves in the fall, just place the debate in the academic community and society. At first it seemed that the Academy just made a mistake in the Duma tricky procedure.
However, it turned out, he realized that Putin’s right. And the situation in the State Duma, where at that time the document was discussed fervently, but as usual, there was an explosion. It is usually arranged judicious chairman of the committee on science Valery Chereshnev. He said that the Ministry of Education on July 18-19, sends an invitation to all the directors of a thousand academic institutions to come to Moscow to discuss the future of their organizations. At the same time there was also a piece of paper from one of United Russia, has offered to take the law in July – 5 th. The leader of the faction “Fair Russia” Sergei Mironov, who, as reported in “Ne zavisimaya Gazeta” from the very beginning that this is an option, said the chairman of the State Duma Sergei Naryshkin, what about the promises that he gave the last few days – for the summer conduct a full discussion. The Speaker did not answer. Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets, who had just defended the deputies of the bill and took responsibility for his promotion and consequences, luckily for her to answer such questions do not have to. Duma by the time she left.
In the evening, the decision to speed up the legislative process, it was decided the Duma majority, despite the cries of the opposition that it discredits the entire Parliament. However, according to “Nezavisimaya Gazeta”, against orders from above (from the presidential structures) none of the party in power has not gone. Even the co-chairman of the Popular Front Stanislav Govorukhin, which yesterday repeatedly appealed opposition to publicly say anything he did not. Although th e sidelines of the DG, he promised that he would be against the government’s initiative and said that it is a negative and Academician Yevgeny Primakov.
The day ended with the Communist Party faction exit from the courtroom, and the acceleration of the Communists prepare for a vote of no confidence in the government. The vote on that now, obviously, will not fall, and the next week.
