Wednesday, November 23, under the chairmanship of Vladimir Putin held a meeting of the Council on science and education discussed the draft Strategy for scientific and technological development of Russia. However, remember this event is not a debate about the vague terminology in the text, and how the head of state publicly reprimanded disobeyed his officials. A year ago, he asked civil servants not to participate in elections of the Russian Academy of Sciences, but not all heeded the ban. Details of the meeting and the names of the guilty academics — in the material “Tape.ru”.
a year and a Half ago, in July 2015 the head of state gave instructions to develop a Strategy for scientific and technological development of Russia. From the government for the preparation of the document was under the Ministry of science and education, analytical support was carried out by the Centre for strategic research. Directly involved in the work took more than 200 experts. In discussing three thousand. The final document, Putin described as detailed and well-balanced.
during the meeting, Council President urged to support the level of spending on fundamental science, “despite the difficult situation”. “Saving here today, we will, of course, hopelessly behind tomorrow, and to not let that happen,” he warned. Putin also demanded to stop the practice of “spreading” of funding between researchers and direct money effective teams. According to him, these principles form the works of the Russian science Foundation, whose budget in 2017 will increase to 17.7 billion rubles. In addition, science will continue to Fund from the proceeds of “Rosneftegaz”, and from there will go 11 billion rubles.
the goal of the strategy, according to Putin, the creation of a powerful technological base. This task in the coming decades will have to decide for talented youth. But how to keep it in the country? “They do not understand where and how they will work. And those who want to take them, especially away from their borders, they have this understanding, and they simply invited to go, and they often go there”, — said Putin.
assistant to the President, former Minister of education Andrey Fursenko admitted that discussion of strategy was difficult, but in the end the project was agreed with government and adopted by the professional community. Fursenko made a reservation only of some “editorial additions”. At the same Council meeting, nearly every speaker was ready to write or rewrite many lines of document.
“lately I’ve seen a dozen concepts. Who not only wrote! But all remained on paper,” came into the discussion the head of the RAS Vladimir Fortov. In his opinion, the adoption of the document is only 5 percent of the cases. The strategy has drawbacks. For example, a completely unnecessary paragraph about the circles in school. The FORTS called keep in the document the only “serious conceptual things.”

the text Questions have occurred to Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich. By mentioning your “good education in Moscow University”, he admitted that he just doesn’t understand some phrases. And did not see a clear definition of certain terms. “Also, the number of priorities requires a more precise wording so that it is clear what we want to do what we want to provide. Otherwise, these words will remain just slogans,” — said Dvorkovich. And recommended to the authors of “easier to write”.
Director of “Young professionals” Agencies of strategic initiatives Dmitry Peskov, the meeting of the Council sounded the alarm on another occasion. A new wave of the industrial revolution creates a threat to the Russian economy, Federal budget and the national security of the country, he said.
According to Peskov, “disruptive innovation” take margin “from our markets, from which we form the budget,” and aims to undermine the competitiveness of Russian companies. So, the Chinese retailer Alibaba sells goods to 1 billion dollars a day, and the capitalization of taxi service Uber is comparable to the market value of Rosneft, gave examples of the Sands.
to convince the audience of the justice of his fear, he remembered the lines from the Internationale, “the Whole world of violence we razed to the ground, and then”. “I don’t think they aim to destroy, is cooled his ardor by the President. They just work the modern way, no need to suspect them of subversive activities.” However, soon he himself barely restrained anger.

“Why did you do it? They are the major scientists that without them the Academy of Sciences cannot do? What am I supposed to do?” — asked Putin President of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The FORTS were terrified, praised the newly-minted members of the Academy as “worthy to be chosen.” Head of Academy of Sciences stressed that all these individuals “said they received permission from their leaders.” Putin was not satisfied.
“Well then, major scientists?” — again said the President.
“Is that so,” distractedly shrugged FORTS.

as a result of the ending of the meeting was crumpled. The members of the Council with drooping faces went through piles of papers on tables and did not dare to join the discussion. Vladimir Putin came out to journalists, clarified its position in this respect: a written prohibition applies to those who took part in the elections ran this year.
“what about the head of Chechnya? He is also an academician”, decided who to ask.
“Look, we have a lot of structures, which are called academies, but I mean a big Academy,” — said Putin. It angered violate the ban and discipline. Those “who chose creative research,” he wished success.
According to Fortov, the question about the future of civil servants, izbrauksana in the RAS should be decided by the President, on the basis of “he’s satisfied with his staff and whether they claim”. And said that the elected academicians and corresponding members of the RAS are unable to lose this status.
