I would not show what experts and lawmakers foresaw, predict, warn, programs and articles that abound during mass insights. The past is long gone, you cannot enter the same river twice.
Nevertheless, I myself will start from 2011, when I participated in the work of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation to establish the facts of the “inefficient use” of funds allocated in the aerospace industry. I will not upset readers with the amount of money spent – this money is non-refundable, and audit materials have been published. However, it was then surprisingly revealed that certificates of airworthiness for Russian aircraft were issued by the Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority, and the very broad word “bermudite” was born.
“All countries live by law, and Russia – by proverbs and sayings,” said Alexander II. Pilots say flying without a valid certificate of airworthiness is like driving without a license in a stolen car with invalid license plates. Therefore, even small countries have departments that issue such certificates to their aircraft. But why did our authorities have to be forced? May the Bermudians be in trouble. In a word, Bermudian. And on February 24, 2022, it turned out that 768 Russian aircraft have a Bermuda record of large, powerful Bermudas (54 square kilometers, population less than 72 thousand, the capital is the city of Hamilton). it was decided to withdraw… Of course there will be a way out but still, still…
The SSJ100 is the first Russian civilian aircraft produced in extensive cooperation with foreign manufacturers after the collapse of the USSR. At first, 80% were foreign, some machines had inch threads, some had metric threads. Hodja Nasreddin said, “No matter how many halvah you say, your mouth will not taste sweet.” The same is true for import substitution. There are about 100,000 parts on the plane, and if suppliers Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier and SSJ100 are not selling them, the question arises how our officials have baffled civil aviation in 30 years.
In 2017, 33 SSJ100, 2018 – 24, 2020 – 18 aircraft were produced. What will we fly? Not so long ago it was said that from the high stands only the Russian post office needs 100 planes, it will be built. But so far, two cars are flying in this episode. Bermudians.
Once the Nobel Prize winner in physics, Academician Zh.I. I had the chance to talk to him. I asked Alferov and how much money should be spent on strengthening the defense. “Only for the basic foundation! 80 to 95% of the capabilities of modern weapons are determined by the electronics sewn into them. This is also important for automation. You should invest here!” There was an immediate response. “Maybe we’ll be left behind forever?” – “Of course not! There would be a desire for strength and some time.
His logic is clear. I remember that in 2013, the future of the Russian Academy of Sciences, created by Peter I, was discussed in the Brainstorm program. Velikhov explained that institutes should turn into scientific companies and they do not need any leadership from above. Academician Zh.I. Alferov sharply objected that there is no need for unnecessary reforms, that the main problem is that the authorities do not believe in the abilities of their people, our scientists. They didn’t listen to him. probermudil
They acted according to our tradition. The Tsar Bell never rang, the Tsar Cannon was never fired, and the Academy of Sciences (1724–2013) was deprived of scientific institutions and turned into a club of honorable scientists… And as a cherry on the cake, this organization was banned from doing so. Research. Unscientific Academy of Sciences. Original.
In the good old Soviet times, the country’s leadership set important tasks for this. But for this you need to think, decide, control. It’s easier to be fooled. Eventually the institutes were transferred to the Ministry of Science and Education and entrusted to the authorities. And, so as not to force it, they decided to evaluate them as they were taught in school. In the fourth grade we had a lot of problems with cows where we had to calculate milk yield and estimate the fat content of milk. They asked them to count the number of articles published in Q1 and Q2 indexed journals as milk yield, and the number of articles specified in Scopus and Web of Science databases instead of fat content. Let foreigners evaluate our scientists. Why bother? Probermudim.
Popular joke. Stalin calls Kurchatov and asks how things are with the atomic bomb. “Excellent, Comrade Stalin, we are 10% ahead of Oppenheimer in working with scopus.”
The hierarchies of the Ministry of Education explained that international recognition is everything to us. That means we’re in the international community (though maybe in the wings, but that doesn’t matter) and that recognition will help us get the Nobel Prizes.
This award is interesting. The Peace Prize was particularly lucky. The winners and candidates were people often associated with the collapse. World War II, whose role in October 1917 is undoubtedly considered a candidate. Nicholas, later Hitler. Sadat and Begin destroyed the Middle East settlement, Gorbachev destroyed the USSR. And now European parliamentarians support Zelensky, who divided Ukraine. Maybe it can destroy Europe too? Potential allows. The Nobel Committee knows better.
Prizes were awarded to domestic authors for books that showed how tragic and bad the October Revolution was and what terrible consequences it had – Sholokhov, Bunin, Pasternak, Solzhenitsyn, Brodsky …
The greatest scientific projects of the 20th century were nuclear and space. Therefore, the indicators of the USSR and the USA – scientific superpowers – should be comparable. According to the Nobel Committee’s website, the top ten in terms of the number of Nobel laureates are as follows: 1. USA – 383; 2. Great Britain – 132; 3. Germany – 108; 4. France – 69; 5. Sweden – 32; 6. Russia/USSR – 31; 7. Switzerland – 28; 8. Japan – 28; 9. Canada – 27; 10. Austria – 22. It turns out that Americans are 12 times smarter than us.
On August 25, 2020, Ministry of Education, Deputy Ministers AV Omelchuk and SV Lumin. This document is great, with lots of formulas, tables, and charts. I’m just going to focus on one point, “fatness”. The “cost” of an article in journals, most of which is Q1 published abroad, is 20, and in journals recommended by the Russian Federation High Attestation Commission (which governs the award of candidate and doctoral degrees) it is 0.12. Q1 magazine sent a couple of articles of my friend, as the editors say, because he is from Russia. The ratio of imported to natives with ponytails is 166. The Nobel Committee is strong, but we are much cooler! Much stronger bermudim! As people say: “Beat yourself so foreigners are afraid.”
Only lazy scientists did not talk about this disgrace. Deputy Prime Minister DN Chernyshenko signed a decree demanding a review of this insane system. But for now, as with everything else, funds require “scopus”, scientists were expelled from the institutes, because they “did not have enough scopus”. My friend, who is a classic of mathematics medicine, has 26 commendations, diplomas, lives saved thanks to his methods. But… deported in 2022 – “doesn’t pass the scopus.”
What should we do? Open feedback, stop bermudit. Fursenko, once an adviser to the president, suggested that “skilled consumers”, not “creators” in education, “rejuvenate” science, transfer it to universities and focus on small businesses. So they did. It turned out to be bullshit. In the current reality, a very high price has to be paid for this. But they forgot to cancel these wonderful reforms. Bermuda.
Apparently, for more than thirty years they have mixed up the fairy tale, “Humpbacked Horse” is closer to us. Remember: “The old woman has three sons: the old, smart one was a boy. The average was this and that. The little one was no fool … ”The old were bermudians – and at night they did not go to the field, and they lied to the old man and stole the horses from the young. But he forgave them – the inner circle … And the youngest – legs in his hands, and then – to Ay Mesyatsevich, then – to the whale, then – to the cauldron of boiling water. It was he who saved the kingdom and much more.
More than three decades ago, we bermudilized a great superpower with a millennial history. Now it is being decided whether Russia has a future or not. It’s not Bermudite time!
