Age: 78 years Specialization: Russian Language Place of work: Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences Linguistics is called the most precise of the humanities.

Even in Soviet times, funding was not enough to make large installations.

The Chicago black man once again lives up to his reputation as the biggest juke composer. Percussion in machine-gun mode, obscene quotes from rappers, gasps, synthetic script - all this is not new, but Rashad knows how to create at least a lounge or an avant-garde rave using familiar methods. In some ways, he is similar to the great bards, who manage to write very different songs using the same chords.

In general, biomedicine is very conservative by nature. Yes, now everyone is moaning about how long it takes to develop a medicine and how expensive it is. 10 years, a lot of billions... But all this is done according to protocols that are written in blood. There were many stories like this: a fantastic new drug, all 10 people who were injected with it felt better. But they started selling it - side effects appeared, including lethal ones.

We realized that we needed to know what was happening to the material. Doctors are also interested in radiation chemistry because it is pure and it is possible to obtain materials for medicine, for example, gels for wound healing. In science, base salaries are very low, and this is still the main problem. Our guys who are graduating from graduate school and would like to work in science are, as a rule, not Muscovites. To work here, you need to rent an apartment. This is impossible.

When I entered MIPT in 1994, they told us: “Look, among the oligarchs and big businessmen there are many MIPT graduates.” It was such propaganda: finish university and go work in any business. Perhaps not entirely truthful propaganda, but it somewhat worked for me. People 5-10 years older than me actually graduated from MIPT and became major entrepreneurs. We haven't seen this anymore. Mathematics is not a job for me. Work is something that a person forces himself to do, that stresses him out.
