Rice. M. Smagina On Thursday, a protest of Russian scientists will take place in Moscow. Employees of academic institutes, teachers and scientists of leading universities will enter the rally - all who are tired of the indifference of government officials to the problems of Russian science.

In the very center of Moscow, in house number one on Red Square, there is a unique working life-size model of the museum. You can take your children there to show them what museums were like at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. Large beautiful halls. Strict old caretakers. Glazed showcases. A bunch of incomprehensible rubbish, the logic of its arrangement should probably become clear when reading the inscriptions.

An unbroken myth, all the time eager for science, is the myth of Atlantis. In the XVII century, the famous scientist, Professor Rudbeck from Uppsala, fiercely defended the idea of ​​the origin of the Swedes from Atlantis, although this seemed ridiculous to many then. But there were always enthusiasts of the idea of ​​finding ancestors of different civilizations on mysterious Atlantis. Especially interesting is the involvement in this concept of Egypt and Mayan civilization.

So says a student of Shakespeare's era, studying at the University of Wittenberg, advanced for its time. Apparently, a certain level of student dissatisfaction with the university education system has always existed. Has much changed since then? The state has developed and is developing a number of documents on the development of higher education (national programs, concepts, doctrines, strategies, etc.). It is difficult to identify clear goals in them, but some can be found.

In the “Tribune” section we publish the speech of Academician Viktor Pavlovich Maslov. Let us remind you that the idea of ​​this column is to give an opportunity to speak out to scientists whose professional merits and high status are undoubted. The material is published regardless of how much the expressed opinion agrees with the point of view of the editors themselves. We refrain from making any comments and the materials are not subject to significant editorial changes.

Dear editors! There is a lot of talk about the fact that our officials are incompetent and do not have sufficient qualifications to make correct, thoughtful decisions. In fact, the opposite is true: in the post-Soviet decades, there has been an unprecedented increase in the scientific knowledge of management personnel. Of course, in a certain sense, this evolution began back in Soviet times.

RadioAstron Announcement Number 7 September 29, 2011 On September 27, 2011, the Spektr-R space radio telescope for the first time carried out test observations of a space object - the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. “First Light” was successfully detected in the ranges of 92 and 18 cm in two circular polarizations. The observations were carried out by scanning in two orthogonal directions.

Last week, the Nobel Prizes awarded the names of the 2011 laureates. This event every year becomes an occasion and an incentive for each reader - a researcher or not - in order to find out about those studies that were awarded such high recognition.

Rebekah Frumkin At one time, the owners of “factories, newspapers, steamboats”, we really know little about business people of the Russian Empire - merchants and bankers. In the best case, we recall a dozen names, and then if the buildings built at their expense or the collections they collected as they were once named in their honor, and are called to the present day.
