About integration
At the meeting, the President of the Russian Federation said that the integration of the new regions, which became part of the state on September 30, depends on the “pace of action”. Later, the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions of Ukraine were annexed.
“As for the completion time, of course it will depend on the speed at which we will move. “The sooner the better,” said Vladimir Putin.
According to the President, documents on education and academic titles awarded in Donbass should be recognized in Russia.
“I will not say the final decision now, but I agree that such a decision should be made for Russian citizens living in these regions, of course,” he said.
“People should live normally so that they don’t have problems because they come and vote to be part of the Russian Federation,” Putin said.
About Support
The inhabitants of the new Russian regions are “our people,” continued the President of the Russian Federation. Therefore, everything must be done to support them.
“Fedorova, who lives in the Lugansk Republic, lived in Novosibirsk, St. How does it differ from the same Fedorovs in St. Petersburg or Moscow? Nothing! “These are our people, of course we must do everything to support them,” said Putin.
He added that it will be decided to support science through grants. In addition, the head of state said that there is a lot of work to be done in the new regions to introduce all the means to support education and science in the Russian Federation.
The salaries of professors and teachers of universities in the new regions will be equal to 200% of the average income in the region. “All necessary decisions will be taken,” said Putin.
The President said that university students in Kherson, who had previously been abandoned by Russian troops, should be given every opportunity to continue their education.
“There is another aspect to Kherson. I think there were four universities there. They moved from the right bank to the left, <…> We must do everything so that people and students can continue their education.”
Putin believes that residents of new territories need “Transforming into Russian reality.”
“Here it is clear that the people who came, first of all, who voted, must, as they say, become the Russian reality, and that Russia must first of all gain a foothold there. This consolidation does not only mean solving problems of a military or military-political nature. “This means working with people in these regions so that people can feel the benefits of entering Russia,” he said.

About infrastructure
Vladimir Putin noted that the scientific and educational infrastructure in the new regions of the Russian Federation is “in a difficult situation”.
“This is the state of buildings, structures, the same tool pedestal, etc. According to preliminary estimates, this will require several tens of billions of rubles – about 37 billion, ”the chairman explained the volume of potential injections into the sites.
In addition, the LDNR called for the integration of students and teachers from the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions into the entire scientific and educational space of the Russian Federation.
About psychological problems
Putin said that 15% of Russians (about 21 million people – socialbites.ca) need the help of psychologists.
“Last year, I think, VTsIOM conducted a sociological study and concluded that 15% of the country’s residents, and among young people – 35% need psychological help,” he said.
The president admitted that psychological services in Russia are not yet “properly developed” due to the lack of state support. “Unfortunately, the state does not give due importance to this at all levels. That’s right,” he said.
Putin added that he would instruct his administration to consider declaring 22 November the Day of Psychologists. “I won’t promise anything here, but I will definitely instruct the administration to handle it,” the politician said.
buy in russian
At the 2nd Young Scientists Congress, Putin also supported the domestic manufacturer.
I always say, and I will repeat it again: Buy Russian products,” he said.
Putin promised to examine a proposal made by one of the attendees to extend the impact of the investment tax cut to Russian manufacturers of scientific instruments and consumables. “Can we talk. I think the Ministry of Finance won’t go crazy, it’s not that much money. <…> We will definitely meet with the government, your opinion is absolutely correct,” he said.
Putin added 90% of the instruments and devices used by Russian scientists are of foreign origin.
“Unfortunately, we have a very large dependence on foreign instrumentation, up to 90% according to some data, and this is particularly acute in today’s conditions,” he said.
“It is clear that it is not possible to work without an instrument base. However, it is also clear that it is necessary to eventually begin to develop our instrument base intensively. HOWEVER Since you can buy everything from nails to diamonds for oil-gas-dollars, but you will never be able to manufacture your own, Therefore, the current situation pushes us to work independently in many areas, including the production of our own scientific and instrumental base.
About jump to jump
Putin expressed confidence that “a leap forward, a transition to a new technological order is possible here and now in our country.”
“The fundamental, fundamental foundations of education and science in Russia are very strong,” the president told the young scientists.
He recalled that in the 1990s Russian science was in a tragic state, but managed to preserve the foundations. Now scientists are faced with “perhaps the most important task – to move to a new level of technological development.”
Partners will be found
Vladimir Putin assured that Russia will always find technological partners.
“Partners will always be found, I have no doubt here. If we do this at a good level, we will always have technological partners.”
According to him, “nothing can be wrapped artificially in the modern world, and nothing can be twisted and closed forever like some kind of mushroom.”
