Transcript of the meeting of the Government of the Russian Federation on June 27, 2013. Discussion of the bill on reform of the Russian Academy of Sciences

The transcript is good, there are no words.
Of course, assuming that she is not fake.

It is obvious that the entire “economic and social bloc” of the Government was in favor of the immediate destruction of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

In this sense, Livanov had strong support.

The Prime Minister's position is touching in its innocence and frivolity. In that sense. that “Yes, it’s an everyday matter that they prepared the documents only in the evening and didn’t discuss anything with anyone. And that’s not what happened.”
It's hard to argue with all this. Anything could happen.
Something that has never happened before.

In short, the rush was dictated by something from outside. Probably, both the Prime Minister and the “most knowledgeable members of the Cabinet” knew the President’s position and saw no reason to go against it.

One word, special operation.
Under the guise of “science reform,” the line was taken not to “delineate powers,” but to exterminate the de facto academic center of competence and preparation of decisions on the most complex issues and “challenges of the time.”
That is, a fake-simulation line on the “cargo cult”.

At the same time, the other “branch of power” - the Duma, after just a few days, completely discredited itself. In seven (7) minutes, all 400 amendments to the bill put forward for the second reading were rejected.

If this is not a complete discredit of “parliamentarism,” then what is?

If the government bashfully discussed the “program of attack on the Russian Academy of Sciences” behind closed doors, the Duma did everything in full view of all “progressive and not-so-humanity.”

Not only to the leadership of the Russian Academy of Sciences, not only to all scientists, but also to all ordinary people, the “power and indestructibility” of the new “herostrats” was revealed. A synchronized blow was struck across the entire educated community by all branches of government. July 13, 2013 will go down in history as the “debacle of the academy.” And all participants in this dirty business will never be able to wash themselves clean.
