The first meeting of the dissertation of the IMGU ISSOTAK in the case of the dissertation by Vladimir Medinsky, which was supposed to take place on Tuesday, did not take place. This was reported by RBC with reference to the employee of the Department of Source Studies Tatyana Goryacheva.

The disable was supposed to decide which of its members would analyze the dissertation of the Minister of Culture. According to the member of the Council of Nikolai Borisov, 10 days ago he and his colleagues received a notification of the posting of the meeting by mail. “The date of the new meeting is unknown to me. Like the reasons for the transfer,” Borisov said.

The work of the Minister was to consider the dissociate of the Ural Federal University. However, on October 4, the Council postponed the meeting . Letters with the corresponding request "in connection with the impossibility of the presence" on it from the minister and from the highest certification commission on it were received by the disservice. On October 7, the Higher Attestation Commission withdrawn from the URFU a statement of deprivation of a Medinsky degree , since "expired the two -month period of the application in this dissolution."

On November 25, the consideration of the issue of the dissertation of Medinsky was transferred to Moscow State University . Thus, the deadline for resolving the issue on the dissertation of Medinsky in Moscow State University expires on January 25.

An application for the deprivation of a medin degree was submitted by doctors of historical sciences Vyacheslav Kozlyakov, Konstantin Yerusalimsky and PH.D. Ivan Babitsky. Having analyzed the dissertation of the Minister "Objectivity Problems in the coverage of Russian history of the second half of the XV-XVII centuries," they have called into question its scientific value.

The full text of the application is published on the website of Dissernet. It notes that the dissertation of Medinsky made gross methodological and factual errors. In addition, for the bibliography to his dissertation, Medinsky copied fragments of bibliography to other people's work. There are other claims to the dissertation.

Medinsky himself called the requirement to deprive him of a return to the times of the USSR. “The very formulation of the question seems to be a phantasmagoric and returns us to the best times of the Soviet Union, when only the only point of view was considered correct, and all the others - bourgeois, revisionist, outdated, cosmopolitan and any more. I would really not want to slip in historical science in those days,” the minister said.

On October 28, 24 Academician and member of the RAS supported the demand to deprive the Medina degree . According to the authors of the appeal, the decision on the dissertation of the minister "should fully include the competence of scientists, and no administrative pressure is unacceptable here." "An unprecedented intervention of the Higher Attestation Committee in a professional examination of the dissertation discredits the entire system of scientific certification in Russia," the letter says.

"The purpose of science is to search for truth, and attempts to replace it with myths, no matter what considerations this is done, undermine the foundations of a scientific view of the world. Patriotic rhetoric cannot serve as an excuse for incompetence. It is also unacceptable to replace the normal scientific controversy of the semi -abundance of the opponents, moreover, is especially outrageous, when such a swearing sounds from the lines of the minister Cultures, ”the document said.
