The fools are good is that they are stupid, greedy and lazy. This is what was worth unknown to the organizers of the campaign to discredit opposition politicians to put different girls to them? So no, they made a shall, they used (in every sense) the same, which was not discredit, but a joke: the oppositionist did not have a Katya already and is not considered an oppositionist. Who did not get in line, and Katya, as a shortage of Soviet times, suddenly disappeared. Experts say that this is all on purpose, this is some kind of deep calculation, but we are not specialists and use the most economical explanation: fools.
This is what the organizers of the next PR campaign Petrik should send different texts to different editions? Well, so that there were no literal coincidences. And then again a joke turned out: a note in the “Moscow Komsomolets” [1] literally coincides with the text, which for the money was proposed to print “Lente.ru” [2]. This publication is all the more amazing that at the beginning of this year, MK published dozens of bright anti -Petrician materials. Then fell silent. Then this. Have you really agreed? Apparently, about this we must ask the editor -in -chief of MK Pavel Gusev (by the way, the chairman of the Commission of the Public Chamber of Communications, information policy and freedom of speech in the media).
Interesting and something else. Here is what is written in the MK: “As the media reported, and in particular the newspaper Society and Ecology:“ The editors have documents that contain a correspondence of a member of the RAS Commission for False Academician Alexandrov, Shevelev and American journalist Lebedev. For a million dollars, they developed a plan for “exposing“ Petrika ”” (spelling was preserved) [3]. The editor -in -chief of the mentioned newspaper Sergei Lisovsky is a well -known Petrikov fan who lit up in early 2010, when he, as the chairman of the Public Ecological Council under the governor of the Leningrad Region, tried to push the statement in support of Petrik. But where did he get fragments of private correspondence? Either Petrik doesn’t lie, hinting at friends in circles close to the safety organs, or all this is generally sucked from a finger.
I hope that the answer to these and many other questions will be received during the trial: the other day reports that Petrik filed a number of publications to the arbitration court that published disapproving comments about his activities. There he refers to damage resulting from a reduction in sales of those very filters to them. The former Shoigu with the former symbols of United Russia, who won the former, or not the former competition held by the EP. As far as I understand, to clarify the size of the damage, it will be necessary to find out all these former and unprecedented circumstances. So we have a chance to learn a lot of interesting things. Unless those friends hint Petrica that you do not need to fuss, producing an unnecessary noise. So to speak, they will drown Mumu in the "pure water."
Indirectly with this story, one more is connected. Here is what the Prime Minister said in the final word at the general meeting of the Russian Academy of Sciences: “You know, I think that each of us has always been criticized from the moment of birth to trice. Over the past ten years, I have been criticized so much that I am even tired of reacting to it. Well, yes, this is life. The more significant we are doing, the more criticism. This, in general, is not bad. That's what and one fish in the river, so that the other does not doze off. But there are, of course, note critics. But this also needs to be treated calmly. There are people who either make money on this or want to earn money. This is just their profession. Well, what to pay attention to this? Here is Academician Laverov that there is even the drug invented by you, - Yuri Sergeevich mentioned this - which stimulates brain activity. Well, give these critics this drug - maybe they will calm down a little ” [4]. Opinions of the observers about who meant, diverge: Vladimir Pokrovsky (see report on p. 2) believes that it was Boris Gryzlov, who signed up in criticism just as a result of the Petrikov scandal, Ivan Sterligov classifies “those who calls for the answer of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Severinov, Guriev, Helfand, Dyakonov etc.)” [5], and 5], and 5]. One of those present at the meeting thought that we were talking about the Minister of Education and Science Andrei Fursenko. Judging by the fact that this was said in response to a complaint about “attacks on some members of the Presidium”, I. Sterligov is right. I report to the Prime Minister: thanks, medicines do not yet need, in full accordance with the existing profession and your instructions I successfully work "according to such a meaningful criterion as the number of publications in recognized scientific publications." The rest of the “note critics” also do not yet need drugs, except in consumables for experiments.
And as to the vice-presidents-this is the vice-president Sergey Aldoshin, who became famous for the statements about the genius scientist Petrik, now heads the RAS Commission on the assessment of the activities of scientific organizations. That is, he already appreciated Petrik (he says, joked [6], but it does not look like a video [7]), now he will appreciate all of us. Well, this is also in full accordance with the instructions received from the Prime Minister: do not respond to criticism, continue to engage in “significant business”.
