Pochinok Dear friends! Time is inexorable. It seemed only yesterday that we discussed the problems of young scientists and the development of Russian science at the 2nd All-Russian Conference dedicated to the memory of Alexander Petrovich Pochinok, but a year has already elapsed and we sum up its results. Of course, as you could not help but notice, it was a difficult year. The main result of it, in my opinion, is that despite many pessimistic forecasts, Russian science has withstood the difficulties, and you, by the substantial results of your scientific activity, have demonstrated not only the ability for scientific creativity, but also the most important qualities attributed only to real scientists – love for Science and willingness to sacrifice much for it! It’s no accident that Irene Joliot-Curie never tired of repeating to her students: “In any profession, love for it is one of the conditions for success, but this is especially true for research work.” Therefore, we, the older generation of Russian scientists, can be proud of the replenishment that we see in you entering the Big Science. However, it took place in a difficult time. Indeed, over the past year, there was no decisive change in the attitude of the state either towards science or young scientists. Among the factors that have a negative impact on the studies and scientific activities of graduate students, same as a year ago, the most detrimental ones are as follows: – Low prestige of science in modern Russia; – The youth’s lack of confidence in the opportunity to pursue a successful career as a scientist in their homeland; – Intolerably low postgraduate scholarship; – A wide range of career opportunities outside of science [1]. Due to the current situation the most capable and energetic young people are literally squeezed out of science. Therefore, as practice proves, even the successful completion of graduate school does not always lead to the choice of scientific research as the main profession. As a result, over recent years we have observed a depressing picture in the Russian Federation: less than half of the postgraduates remain in the sphere of scientific research, about 10% 4 VOLUME 3, No. 2 (10), 2017 of them leave for contract work abroad, the rest start working in the state and commercial structures [1]. What these numbers literally shout about? Soviet and Russian scientists are known to the world as passionate men, boundlessly devoted to the Science, and selfless as a rule. Even in the 18th century the draft Provisions of Science Academy one can find the following: “Scientists are people who care about producing science, while usually giving extraordinarily little thought for their own sustenance…” The profound connoisseur of Russian soul, Maxim Gorky, couldn’t fail to notice this fact and stated: “...science (in Russia) is the area of greatest selflessness”. The mechanism of such selflessness, I think, was revealed by the Nobel Prize winner Zhores Alferov in one of his speeches. He said that in our country, junior researcher is a figure that is more important than the President. The President is only a high ranking official, while the scientist a person standing along with God himself, because he discovers the Truth. However, the

  • Governance on Russia's Early-Modern Frontier
    ABSOLUTISM AND EMPIRE: GOVERNANCE ON RUSSIA’S EARLY-MODERN FRONTIER DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Paul Romaniello, B. A., M. A. The Ohio State University 2003 Examination Committee: Approved by Dr. Eve Levin, Advisor Dr. Geoffrey Parker Advisor Dr. David Hoffmann Department of History Dr. Nicholas Breyfogle ABSTRACT The conquest of the Khanate of Kazan’ was a pivotal event in the development of Muscovy. Moscow gained possession over a previously independent political entity with a multiethnic and multiconfessional populace. The Muscovite political system adapted to the unique circumstances of its expanding frontier and prepared for the continuing expansion to its east through Siberia and to the south down to the Caspian port city of Astrakhan. Muscovy’s government attempted to incorporate quickly its new land and peoples within the preexisting structures of the state. Though Muscovy had been multiethnic from its origins, the Middle Volga Region introduced a sizeable Muslim population for the first time, an event of great import following the Muslim conquest of Constantinople in the previous century. Kazan’s social composition paralleled Moscow’s; the city and its environs contained elites, peasants, and slaves. While the Muslim elite quickly converted to Russian Orthodoxy to preserve their social status, much of the local population did not, leaving Moscow’s frontier populated with animists and Muslims, who had stronger cultural connections to their nomadic neighbors than their Orthodox rulers. The state had two major goals for the Middle Volga Region.

REP Programme Paper. The Russian Vertikal: the Tandem, Power and the Elections Introduction From among many important potential questions about developments in Russian politics and in Russia more broadly, one has emerged to dominate public policy and media discussion: who will be Russian president in 2012? This is the central point from which a series of other questions and debates cascade – the extent of differences between President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and how long their ‘Tandem’ can last, whether the presidential election campaign has already begun and whether they will run against each other being only the most prominent. Such questions are typically debated against a wider conceptual canvas – the prospects for change in Russia. Some believe that 2012 offers a potential turning point for Russia and its relations with the international community: leading to either the return of a more ‘reactionary’ Putin to the Kremlin, and the maintenance of ‘stability’, or another term for the more ‘modernizing’ and ‘liberal’ Medvedev.

  • Russian Political, Economic, and Security Issues and U.S
    Russian Political, Economic, and Security Issues and U.S. Interests Jim Nichol, Coordinator Specialist in Russian and Eurasian Affairs November 4, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33407 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Russian Political, Economic, and Security Issues and U.S. Interests Summary Russia made some uneven progress in democratization during the 1990s, but according to most observers, this limited progress was reversed after Vladimir Putin rose to power in 1999-2000. During this period, the State Duma (lower legislative chamber) came to be dominated by government-approved parties and opposition democratic parties were excluded. Putin also abolished gubernatorial elections and established government ownership or control over major media and industries, including the energy sector. The methods used by the Putin government to suppress insurgency in the North Caucasus demonstrated a low regard for the rule of law and scant regard for human rights, according to critics. Dmitriy Medvedev, Vladimir Putin’s chosen successor and long-time protégé, was elected president in March 2008 and immediately chose Putin as prime minister. President Medvedev has continued policies established during the Putin presidency. In August 2008, the Medvedev-Putin “tandem” directed wide-scale military operations against Georgia and unilaterally recognized the independence of Georgia’s separatist South Ossetia and Abkhazia, actions that were censured by most of the international community but which resulted in few, minor, and only temporary international sanctions against Russia. Russia’s economy began to recover from the Soviet collapse in 1999, led mainly by oil and gas exports, but the sharp decline in oil and gas prices in mid-2008 and other aspects of the global economic downturn put a halt to this growth.
