Is it all science?

Did you work in these very establishments, my dear? Do you know what the classroom load is there? How many pieces of paper? And what is the salary? I’ll tell you, you’re a smart reformer of ours - the salary of an assistant professor in the Central Federal District with all allowances is approximately 20,000 rubles, the classroom load is at least (!) 16 - 20 hours a week (2-3 different subjects), and also - mandatory preparation of work papers programs for Federal State Educational Standards, educational training and other aspects. The scientific activity of an associate professor is _not_paid_.

I can do science only and exclusively due to the fact that I work in an industrial research institute, where my salary is twice as high as at the university.
