Fano and Sciences

A negative result – the same result. So it is possible to estimate the outcome of the conflict Fano and Sciences in connection with the dismissal of the director of the Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry. Vernadsky Academy of Sciences, Academician Erik Galimov.

The order of dismissal was signed on 13 April 2015 after academician criticized Fano in an open letter. Solution department colleagues academician Galimov regarded as punishment with the obstinate director. At a meeting of the Institute adopted a document condemning the dismissal without any motivation and what is called a “hospital bed”: Erik Galimov suffered a heart attack and was treated. Were published in the media, scientists telegram to the President of the RAS to intervene in the conflict and help to “discipline” Fano. In short, the Agency found spit on stone academic resistance. As a result, the order number 250 was canceled, but signed another – so to speak, of their own volition. What is it – victory or defeat? Maybe just a compromise or concession on the part of the Academy? These and other questions are IA REGNUM was addressing a well-known journalist Vladimir Gubarev familiar with internal and external problems of the Academy of Sciences.

IA REGNUM : The history of dismissal Academician Galimov, director of the Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry. Vernadsky, RAS, stirred up all the academic community. Do you think that will be possible if the Academy to achieve compliance with the principles of “two keys” to work with Fano?

Vladimir Gubarev : The idea of ​​”two keys” in science is flawed in itself. Can Fano officials to determine the level of a scientist? No of course. They operate only with all sorts of tests, tables, number of publications and the like, that is, they can not understand, talented or not. However, the modern official and does not know what “talent”. I’m not exaggerating: the fact that none of the circular you will not find the word “scientific talent” … the Director of Academic institutions can only choose the right colleagues, and “Vikings from power” often generate at best puzzling. Examples of this in the history of the Academy of Sciences of the set.

By the way, the story of the dismissal E. Galimov for me was not unexpected. The fact that the Fano forced to get rid of “undesirables Directors”, that is, those who are trying to deal with this administrative monster devouring our science today.

IA REGNUM : How people who knows many outstanding scientists of the RAS, especially related to space theme, what can you say about academician Galimov and what is your opinion about the history of his dismissal Fano leader Mikhail Kotyukova?

Vladimir Gubarev : Academic Galimov – one of the few scientists in the country associated with space exploration, which offers a way out of the situation in which there was this branch of science in the last two decades. He has a program for the development of the Moon and the planets, the program efficiently and effectively use those little tools that are currently allocated to the space program. He – a great scientist. I was well aware of his predecessors on the legendary Institute, said confidently: he honorably took the baton from them. Destroy the Institute and the industry is relatively easy if you act in ways Mr. Kotyukova. By the way, in the “field of dismissal of directors of institutions”, he became a pioneer – even Stalin and Beria did not allow themselves such. For example, before removing from the post of president of the Academy of Sciences Komarov, Stalin sent him Vavilov requested to resign himself. But Komarov was already weak, he could not move … Now Kotyukov citizen uses “modern” methods – first man to throw mud, and then try to get rid of it … No, really disgusting story of “dismissal Galimov»!

IA REGNUM : a REGNUM many media wrote about the problems of relations RAS and Fano, the reform of the Academy and the scandal with the dismissal of academician Galimov. It seems that it is possible to reverse the situation, to correct distortions. However, the result so far is that the order of dismissal is canceled, but signed another – resignation from the post of academician on their own. This is a Pyrrhic victory or is it a success?

Vladimir Gubarev : «War academician Galimov and Fano” – it’s so funny! Truly, “pug barking at an elephant.” I have long been clear that the “lap-dogs” are trying to ride our science, to get rid of prominent people, and, judging by recent events, they succeed. And what to do people, the country? Who is able to provide its independent development? Not “pug” same which are capable of only one licking his tongue famous place, which is not made mention in the literary language …

IA REGNUM : It is known that a few days ago, scientists sent a telegram RAS President Vladimir Fortov asking officials to prevent Fano arbitrarily dismiss directors of RAS. What is the position of the leadership of RAS? Will fight Fano? And what, in your opinion, will be the finale of this drama?

Vladimir Gubarev : The problem is much broader. Power caused RAS almost fatal blow, and it should be clear. Fano only continues the destruction of science, and it does so very effectively. There are many examples. All last year Fano led scientists to engage in paperwork, and this speaks not only academician Galimov, and the whole scientific community. At the same time the world situation is worrying, I would say, dangerous. Important role in ensuring the security of Russia has not only its army and navy, but also science. It should be understood clearly. But instead of concentrating the efforts of scientists, their talents and their capabilities, Fano is doing everything to “neutralize” them. And, perhaps, for the sake of it and was created ?! See what seditious thoughts are born when one reflects on the final drama with academician Galimov. By the way, this is not final, and only a sad and sad page in the history of the Academy of Sciences.

IA REGNUM : The sacramental question, so as soon as we already know who to blame – what to do ?

Vladimir Gubarev : After this story citizen Kotyukov should resign and invite the Government and the President to eliminate Fano as an organization is not only useless, but also extremely harmful.
