Also, the ministry said that the political activities of the Foundation “Dynasty” is that the fund is financed by the organization “Liberal Mission”. Fund Council announced that he has decided to liquidate “Dynasty.”“This is a great loss for Russian science – and not just in terms of money, but they put enough decent money, but also from the standpoint of those standards rather high, support for projects, evaluation of the work of scientists who are asked. This I think a much larger loss than the grants, which do not go, “- said Livanov journalists.
