Valery Falkov, Head of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, in an interview with a TV channel “Russia 24” He noted that the ministry provided scientists with access to a large amount of scientific information despite anti-Russian sanctions.
“There are new restrictions. Some are irresistible. Suppose we know that various scientific fact-gatherers – some of them refused to study. However, we provide access to the vast majority of scientific information to our colleagues.”
Falkov noted that there is no critical situation in this area in 2022.
At the same time, the minister pointed out that Russian scientific journals should be developed “in a completely different way”, providing them with greater support and promotion abroad.
Despite the challenges Russian scientists have had to face this year, research has continued in the country. Physicists sought to reach the limits of the knowable world, biologists discovered previously unknown animal and plant species, including creating new ones with their own hands, and engineers devised innovative tools to gain knowledge. “socialbites.ca” invites readers to get acquainted with five events of domestic science that played an important role in its development.
