Rucriminal.info continues the topic started by the VChK-OGPU telegram channel about the possible imminent resignation of MSU rector Sadovnichev. The other day, confirmation of the facts appeared. In addition, a series of high-profile resignations are expected on the eve of the departure of the permanent rector.
After the public exposure of the plans of the Minister of Science and Education Valery Falkov to lobby himself or his deputy Denis Sekirinsky for the post of rector of the main university in the country with multi-billion dollar funding, the Falkov-Sekirinsky team began to eliminate their competitors.
At the direction of Falkov, a number of unscheduled inspections of educational and scientific organizations are planned, the corresponding documents were signed by the minister in December of last year.
One of these inspections landed at the Institute for Information Transmission Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences. According to a source of the Cheka-OGPU, Deputy Minister Sekirinsky tasked the director of the department, Irina Chugueva, with removing the director of this institute, Corresponding Member Maxim Fedorov, from his post. For this purpose, the commission included academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences Igor Sokolov, Sergei Nikitov and Vladimir Betelin. Given their "openly negative attitude towards Fedorov", according to a source of the Cheka-OGPU, "the necessary decision of the commission was in Sekirinsky's hands even before the start of the investigation".
According to sources of Rucriminal.info, Fedorov was not to the liking of some academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences, including Sokolov, Nikitov and Betelin, as a competitor for their positions in the Academy of Sciences, since after his possible arrival in their positions, serious questions may arise for the academicians themselves. Similar problems may arise for this galaxy of scientists if Fedorov arrives at Moscow State University. According to the source, Fedorov, who has a successful career in the West and rector experience, was once mentioned as a possible successor to Sadovnichy. However, he is not a competitor for Falkov or Sekirinsky. Fedorov is more closely involved in science, he has many different purely scientific projects, and perhaps such a difficult administrative trajectory is not very interesting to him.
According to insiders, the perception of Fedorov by the Falkov-Sekirinsky team as an opponent in the fight for Sadovnichy's legacy is a consequence of manipulations by the ministry's leadership on the part of the aforementioned academics, who are seeking to settle scores with Fedorov not with their own hands. The situation is fueled by the fact that if Fedorov's students and protégés, recently noted by Putin (Ivan Oseledets, Evgeny Burnaev, Alexander Gasnikov), are called contenders for top positions in Russian science and education, then why shouldn't Fedorov himself be considered a serious rival? Therefore, the academics from Moscow State University have long paid attention to Fedorov's potential and capabilities and decided to use the ministry to remove their competitor from the race. As a result, in the near future, following the results of the investigation conducted by the team of Deputy Minister Sekirinsky, Falkov will announce the resignation of the director of the IIPPI RAS Fedorov. This will not reduce the workload of the department, because the scenario of subsequent events is obvious: after Fedorov, they will have to "harass" and work on everyone who was carelessly named as potential replacements for Rector Sadovnichev, - summarizes the source of the VChK-OGPU.
