"Academic fortunate normal people" - BBC

What do they think about Michael Kotyukove scientists and former colleagues from the Ministry of Finance, as well as memorable than the head of Fano, working at home in Krasnoyarsk, figured out the science department “Gazety.Ru.”

«ignore the opinion of the scientific community»

Appointment of Deputy Finance Minister Mikhail Kotyukova at the head of the Federal Agency of Scientific Organizations (Fano) Russian scientific community, with the exception, perhaps, only the RAS President Vladimir Fortova, perceived quite negatively.

«Once again, ignoring the opinion of the scientific community, now and in the selection of the head of Fano – said Professor Vyacheslav Vdovin, the former head of the trade union of the RAS. – There is no longer important status Fortova, yesterday in the Ministry of Education was a “round table”, which was attended by members of the two councils, and those whom the state gathered to consult on matters of science, they too were totally unaware for 19 hours, and in 21.00 seems to have a solution and it was assumed: that’s where, apparently, was in a hurry to meetings Lyudmila Ogorodova ».

Council for Science Education and Science of the Russian Federation (Chairman – Academician, rector of Moscow State University Alexei Khokhlov) issued an official statement in which it called on the authorities to actively cooperate with the scientific community.

Head of the Agency for the Management of property RAS appointed Michael Kotyukov

Science will manage the financier

Head of Agency research organizations became Deputy Finance Minister Mikhail Kotyukov. A little earlier, Deputy Education Minister Lyudmila Ogorodova said that … ?

«Due to the expected in the near future adoption of the Regulation on the Federal research organizations (Fano), and for the ongoing public discussion of his wish to re-emphasize the critical importance of the participation of the scientific community in making all the key decisions of Fano, and the availability of real working feedback – the document says. – We call to implement it in the decisions of government as Fano through active interaction with the Russian Academy of Sciences, and by the organization of Scientific Coordination Council of Fano. The Council shall consist of the active world-class scientists with the representation of members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Fano, scientific and educational organizations subordinate Fano ».

Commenting on the appointment of Michael

Kotyukova, Vyacheslav Vdovin remembered the following anecdote: “Mom, who is Marx?” – “Marx, my child, it was such an economist.” – “As our aunt of Paradise?” – “No, child, aunt of Paradise – a senior economist!” “To say that he was disappointed by this decision of the authorities, I can not, – said Vdovin. – There was a reasonable expectation of something, the way it happened. Also not unexpected was the reaction of the main person who was supposed to protest, – Vladimir E. Fortova. Admitting that there was no agreement, other than a willingness to work, said nothing.

Return the situation in a reasonable direction at this stage with a non-zero probability, but not a very big can only be a total rejection of the scientific community, government policy in the sphere of science and of the destination – as its member.

Forts

not answered another question (while standing behind the line) and he that Putin has rejected the offer to lead the agency? Or rejected? If the latter – then do here and it’s time to put the membership card on the table. Deceived. If the first – that scientists should ask him to do it, academics and representatives of groups voted for him in the election, giving a mandate to the Academy as a combination of hundreds of institutions with nearly a hundred thousand employees and a half thousand members of the Academy, most of which, however, included in the the first set. In the new situation that the mandate is valid’m not ».

young, promising and sensible

head of the press service of the Ministry of Finance Denis Yesaulov Kotyukova commented on the appointment: “The ministry, he oversaw the social sphere, education, science and healthcare. Therefore not surprising that he was appointed to this position, no. He is well-versed in finance, the economy ».

The position of the scientific agency will be given to the government, without waiting for the discussion of

«Do not remain any academy or scientist»

Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets did not wait when scientists will discuss the status of the Agency research organizations, and demanded on Wednesday to pass it … ?

Before joining the Ministry of Finance in 2010 Kotyukov worked in Krasnoyarsk, where in a short time has gone from specialist to a deputy governor. “It is fairly well-known person in the province. I can only describe it positively – said “the Newspaper” Michael Razvozhaev, deputy chief of staff for the governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory (formerly spokesman for the governor of Krasnoyarsk Krai). – Michael M. – a bright star in the firmament of the management of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, a very responsible person. Why is he in such a relatively young age made such a brilliant career – it is because he has always been extremely rosaries professional in the tasks that set before him. The Ministry of Finance of the edge he quickly rose to the level of a specialist, then his head, was appointed deputy prime minister and from there went to the increase in the federal government.

He is a man of principle. He was one of those involved in the administration of the province’s new pay system, which translated groups of public institutions.

It was quite unpopular and difficult process, while he found the necessary arguments for people to understand what logic, efficiency and motivation for encouraging result. The result – no conflicts arose. Now moved to the edge of the new pay system, largely due to those things which at the time carried an edge of the Ministry of Finance under the leadership Kotyukova. As a young man, he is ready to propose new methods and arguments to defend them ».

«Kotyukov came under the Ministry of Finance Alexei Kudrin. He proved he is doing well. A young, promising and very intelligent man. The principle, therefore, the academics are very fortunate that such a person was appointed. Because it’s just a normal person, “- shared with” Gazetoy.Ru “a source familiar with the work of the Ministry of Finance Kotyukova Kudrin at the time.

Meanwhile, a year ago the financial activities of Kotyukova at the head of the regional Ministry of Finance expressed interest in the local competition authorities.

As stated FAS in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the purchase of equipment for the four dairy plants, the construction of which the regional government announced in 2009, was carried out with gross violations. “We called three names – Gnezdilov, Kotyukov, Shorohov – then said the deputy head Oleg Kharchenko, quoted by the website of the regional Federal Migration Service . – For the purchase of the equipment they have come up with a clever scheme that allowed not to hold the competition. ” According to the test, not to put to tender, public funds initially transferred to the state enterprise “Pine”, then the firm “Pine”, and from there they are in the form of euro went to Israel, where they were purchased “four stainless-steel vats.” In this case, two vats on the edge and did not.

«As a result of € 2,5 million is already nearing two years, somewhere swirling in Israel and work for someone else, and plants exist only virtually,” – said Kharchenko.

«From the official draw guilt was not proven. For it has not been answered, and all persons involved, which are in addition to Kotyukova are still working in their positions, “- told” Gazeta.ru “ colleagues from the local newspaper” Dela.ru ».

A month ago, the government announced , which failed to sue the Israeli company € 1,5 million “Israeli ARBEL company is obliged to return the Krasnoyarsk Territory € 1,5 million for the missing equipment for the two dairies. This decision was made by the International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Chamber of Commerce in Russia “, – said the territorial government.

technical person or Siberian lumberjack

The editor of the newspaper “Troitsky variant”, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Nuclear Research, Russian Academy of Sciences Boris Stern suggested in an interview with “Gazety.Ru” that Kotyukov will perform purely technical functions: a “non-person who someone will translate instructions from above. I think the person in this position must still have an idea of ??what science is.

purely technical person – this means that all decisions will be made by someone else. And who – I do not know. And this is the most unpleasant thing.

The network is already discussing his appointment, saying that because of this man, then discuss his personality does not make sense ».

Vyacheslav Vdovin said that scientists – at least under the auspices of the Academy of Sciences of the trade union – will protest on the appointment: “We will support those members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, who demand the convening of the general meeting: as stated in the law and interpretations to January 1, 2014 th all the same. And another meeting with the elected representatives of the teams, which were last able to speak to academics ».

Reform of the Russian Academy of Sciences is entering a crucial phase: the beginning public discussion about the position of the agency, which may eventually become the Ministry of Science

«Congratulations to you, comrades, with the creation of the Ministry of Science»

draft resolution on the agency that will manage the assets of Russian Academy of Sciences, submitted for public discussion: as long as the document contains a number of ambiguities and … ?

Thus the scientist added that he understands the low probability “to stop the machine,” and said that scientists would “try to work with a designated leader.” “There are some very modest expectations – Vdovin said. – Somewhere nice that he has no academic degrees, including a “fake”, it is important to understand who will be with him and what all the same goals and objectives, and responsibilities are spelled out in the regulations of Fano. But the positive in the light of Mikhail Kotyukova is that he has little knowledge of the subject. Working in the Ministry of Finance is on the block, which includes the financing of Sciences, he has shown himself capabilities. The fact that professional characterized in that it is not visible, and as it is the case itself. We are well aware of certain problems which, if not professional approach financiers could significantly complicate the life of the scientific community in the light of the recent disturbances. For example, problems in the light of the entry into force FZ-253, with the status of the main motif of the payment of the RAS its content, the fundamental research program. So far everything went smoothly, and we continue to execute and get her the money. In light of the introduction from 1 September innovations in education law is not entirely correct as steel scholarships to our graduate students (our graduate not quite fit into the new reality) or the payment of allowances power scientists (they actually canceled), but nothing happened, and allowances we got though and we understand that by itself does nothing. Themselves grow only entropy, chaos. The order must be able to maintain.

And then authorized divisions of the Treasury, which led to yesterday, Mikhail Mikhailovich, exercise due professional ».

But some skepticism at the future leader of Fano Vdovin stated: “Although Kotyukov kind of like a lumberjack Siberian plain, still can not believe he will take and accept my invitation yesterday: come with your own eyes to see how it works and what the problem is really successful institution, or agree to take a ride with me through the Caucasus – look at what life is like Russian science in Karachay-Cherkessia, Dagestan and Chechnya. I’m afraid that it will begin to settle into their new office on Leninsky, 32 ».

On Friday afternoon, the position of the Fano will be taken at a cabinet meeting. On the eve of Deputy Minister of Education and Science, said Lyudmila Ogorodova , that within the framework of the provision at the agency will be established Research Coordination Council (but how great will be his authority, is not clear.) In addition, the agency will be subject not only to the institutions of the Russian Academy of Sciences, but all Russian scientific organizations. However, it is unknown whether there will, for example, Institute Kurchatovsky.
