From the transcript of the X Congress of the Russian Union of rector , October 30 , 2014 .

<...> N. Kropachev: Our Union of rector sometimes makes important decisions. You remember how an important decision was made recently, we helped the victims of the flood. I propose to make a decision and be sure to oblige all members of our organization to organize assistance to universities in Donbass and Lugansk.

V. Sadovnichy: Thank you, Nikolai Mikhailovich. Moscow University has already supplied columns three times and helped, so I urge others to look for appropriate methods. Thank you. <...>

V. Putin: About the complex processes that occur in the southeast of Ukraine, in Novorossia, in the Donbass. I ask the advice of rector not to oblige anyone. I understand that I want the best, I know how people are tuned in, how they relate to these difficult, tragic events. I am sure that everyone who can, and so will do everything that is possible in order to support people. Moreover, in such a noble business as the restoration of educational institutions and assistance to young people.

<...> V. Putin: Now about ... the need to continue competitions. We once came up with this, including Andrei Alexandrovich Fursenko. Andrey Alexandrovich, where are you? You are scolded all the time, but there is something to praise for. This he actually came up with this form: to give money to enterprises so that they would give out appropriate funds to universities to perform specific tasks, so that there is a link to specific production tasks with the work of the university and its financing. I don’t know now whether the government extended this program or not?

Replica: extended.

V. PUTIN: Prophered. Here the current minister nods his head, which means that everything is in order.

Regarding the fact that megagrators could be disrupted and make them smaller, but more, I always knew that people live not only smart, but also cunning people in Tatarstan. What is it to disrupt gaggants? This means that there will no longer be megagrators; The next step is to say: it is necessary to increase the financing of these megagrators. In fact, this is correct, but this must be compared with budget capabilities, but to act, of course, is desirable in this direction.

<...> V. Putin: Educational holdings. I don't understand why they are prohibited? Are they prohibited? Zhores Ivanovich Alferov made such an educational holding. I understand that he is a Nobel laureate, he can afford to act outside the rules, but I was there, I don’t remember something. He has a school, and a university, and immediately a connection with the academy, with the Academic Institute. It works for us. I do not understand here fears about the fact that there is some kind of violation, and I know for sure that the Academy of Sciences supports this process. Vladimir Evgenievich, too, here, in my opinion, they told me. Yes, he was here, as it dawned on him-he immediately evaporated somewhere. I know for sure that he supports, he told me about this just yesterday. <...>

V. Sadovnichy: One minute. Vladimir Vladimirovich, Moscow University, Russian Post and Teacher Gazeta announced the All -Russian contest “Best Lesson of Letters”. One hundred thousand schoolchildren wrote an essay. The topic was "the man I trust." We selected several works on this subject. This is written by children of 9th grades. They write about you, they trust you.

V. PUTIN: Thank you.

V. Sadovnichy: I would like to give these works, Vladimir Vladimirovich, maybe you will look at them. But there are also congratulations on your birthday. We join everything that the children said. Thank you.

V. PUTIN: Thank you very much. I say without any irony, it binds a lot. Thanks a lot.
