The federal agency research organizations (Fano) asks the government authority to classify information on the developments of Russian scientists, which can be used when creating new technologies or in the military sphere. The agency believes that this will simplify the procedure for obtaining the necessary licenses to work with information constituting a state secret. Scientists themselves are not delighted with such care – they do not understand why to expand the number of organizations entitled to classify their work
The project provides for Fano rules apply to classified information studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences and. Russian Academy of medical Sciences. It is assumed that classify will primarily information on developments in the military field. But the secret will and that can be used to create new technologies and products.
The immediate right to declare certain development state secrets will have the head of Fano (now the Michael Kotyukov). Agency requests to make it to the list of organizations authorized to dispose of sensitive information. These organizations and information that they can refer to state secret, were named in the decree of Boris Yeltsin in 1995. This list is then expanded several times
More than a hundred scientists -. Academics, chle HN Correspondent and Professor Academy of Sciences – have signed an open letter to President Vladimir Putin, which opposed the policy of the Federal Agency of scientific organizations (Fano) We are dealing with property issues of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). Experts say that the scientific sphere in the country is under threat of complete destruction.
«Russian fundamental science is in crisis since the early 1990s, and not only because of financial distress. For many years, she is subjected to unprecedented pressure from the government agencies, venturing more and more new “reform”, the result of which becomes its sequential degradation “, – wrote the scientists
One of those who signed the appeal already. after its publication, – the adviser of the RAS, doctor of biological Sciences Alexei Yablokov. “For three years, the situation with reforms in fundamental science has deteriorated dramatically. The chosen path of reforming science, which actually offers the Ministry of Education, is fatal. We’re talking about a mighty and strong Russia, but without science is strong and powerful country does not happen. I see only the destruction of science under the reform of the flag, the words “let’s make science more efficient,” etc. As a result, we’re rolling down catastrophically. Maybe this is not seen from the side, because it will affect later. But it’s a disaster pohlesche what is happening in the economy, and more terrible than the forest fires “, – said the biologist
According to Alexei Yablokov, the current attitude toward science does not match any global principles, no domestic traditions. . “There are objective indicators of spending on science in different countries and how science is organized. What was good science in the Soviet Union? It is, of course, fed money on defense, but what was left of the atomic bomb for biology, geochemistry, mathematics is more than enough to be in the forefront in the world. In Soviet times, we published a quarter of scientific publications in the world. Now we publish, probably five or six hundredths of scientific papers. We have failed in terms of twenty, thirty, forty, or even fifty times, and this trend continues, “- noted Academy of Sciences Advisor
Yablokov stressed the urgent need to change attitudes to science in the state.. “We must abandon the vertical management science.
Four or five years ago, the Kremlin is pushing unthinkable for Russian and Soviet science thing, when President of the Academy of Sciences is appointed by agreement with the President of the Russian Federation. Russian science has lost its independence, and since then all rolled. It is necessary to restore the independence of the President of the Academy of Sciences, its institutions, to remove bureaucratic walls, built in the form of Fano, Fano subdue the Academy of Sciences and the Russian Academy of Sciences to make it economic department. It is necessary to sharply increase funding to get at least twenty countries in terms of financing, at least to reach Brazil, Indonesia. I’m not talking – to China, the US or Germany, because we are now on the financing of science are in semidesyatke countries “, – said Alexei Yablokov
The Chairman of Trade Union of the RAS workers, Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Viktor Kalinushkin told a reporter. “Rosbalt”, the union for most items supports the academics who signed the open letter to President of the Russian Federation. “The question of funding, in our opinion, is in the first place. The situation quickly becomes critical. Reduced funding in rubles even with inflation automatically leads to the collapse of institutions and a terrible blow to science “, – said Kalinushkin. According to him, this situation constitutes a threat to the very existence of the science sector in the country.
According to the union leader, from divisions RAS require execution of the Presidential decree on increasing salaries, but a presidential decree to increase the funding of the RAS is not executed . According to him, the situation is aggravated by the base Fano and the emergence of “two-headed” management system.
