Clouds on the horizon

Dear editors!

After the New Year and on the eve of the old New Year, I really want to believe in New Year's miracles, that in the spring everything will go in the way and we will return to normal life. But, I’ll tell you honestly, this year begins rather frightening. Remember how last year began. In mid -January, a sudden change of government occurred and everyone began to guess what would follow. Around the same time, everyone learned that in some Chinese Uini a new virus appeared, similar to Sars. But all our responsible comrades, as one, assured that this attack was not threatened by Russia. All this sounded not too frightening: both our government is quite technical, and humanity has coped with Sars without much loss. Who then could suggest that we will meet 2021 with an updated constitution and against the backdrop of Pandemia Kovid?

This year, the beginning looks much more frightening. Judge for yourself, our holidays did not have time to end yet, and in the United States there was an uprising of the masses against the liberal attempt to steal from Donald Trump victory in the presidential election: on January 6, the American working people went to storm the stronghold of American imperialism - the Capitol, where at that time the lawmakers were preparing to approve the victory of the liberal protein Joe Biden. Although the workers managed to break into the building, later the armed punishers managed to oust them from there.

The liberal media, of course, tried to portray Trump's supporters with almost features with horns, but the truth is that they are a labor people who opposed traditional values, against the desire of liberals to turn Americans into a homogeneous zombie mass without gender, race and nationality. Alas, now, when in the hands of the Democrats and the House of Representatives and the Senate, and the head of state will soon be the old Mazhmatic Biden - a puppet in the hands of rabid liberals, the United States and other countries are waiting for gloomy times. I have no doubt that the old enmity of the Democrats in relation to Russia will result in a set of tough sanctions - another hopeless attempt to put our country on his knees. Of course, the country, a strong and committed to traditional values, going on their own road is a bone in the throat for those who want to rebuild the whole world in a new liberal way.

And this is still half a bastard: in the economy and in the markets, the devil is going on, knows what. The past year, as we know, was difficult, the economy of most countries suffered to one degree or another. Despite the beginning of vaccination in some countries, the incidence is growing: even according to official figures, the number of those infected by Covid in the world approaches one hundred million, and the number of dead from it is two million. At the same time, market indices - both in the USA and in Russia - storm space heights. Elon Musk with his unprofitable “Tesla” became the richest person in the world. This is similar to a loss of adequacy, a feast during a plague fraught with a painful hangover.

In general, the beginning of the year does not promise us anything good. In science, including: our scientific fifth column, probably, rejoiced at Biden’s victory, began to criticize the actions of our beloved government with a vengeance. The merger of scientific funds is bad, guard, the mass contests of the RFFIF will be ruined! The special anger of our homegrown liberals caused the proposal of Mikhail Valentinovich Kovalchuk to reorganize our science in the German model - the grouping of scientific organizations in several scientific societies that differ in the tasks set before them. After all, our liberals are much to nod to the west when it is beneficial for them, but when Russian Leonardo, who changes scientific paradigms, indicates the Western experience, this is a direct signal for them - FAS! Like, Kovalchuk is only good to flutter with his tongue, and as it comes to business, the results are more than modest, the crushing of our science into parts in conditions of chronic underfunding will lead to the transformation of Russia into a third -rate power. It is good that gentlemen from the so -called July 1 club, preparing their letters, did not know that the government was going to approve the fundamental research program for 2021–2030, providing for an increase in financing this program by only 30%for 10 years. How many cries about underfunding would be! In fact, the government only wants to force our science to work more efficiently, saving budget resources for more important areas of state activity.

In general, colleagues, the beginning of the year does not promise us anything good, for the better something will begin to change only when Vladimir Vladimirovich will be vaccinated and leaves the bunker.
