“Do what it should and be what will happen,” the mathematician, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Viktor Vasiliev, explained his coming to the State Duma. On July 3, he came to the “mourning festivities” to the State Duma in a white shirt, black trousers and a black bandage on his sleeve to lay flowers to the “grave” of the Academy of Sciences, and on July 2, he modestly stood among the thousand people who came to the old building of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
