The supercomputer is captured by the FSB

The Russian Federation’s lea­ding spe­cia­list in super­com­pu­ter sys­tems was first che­cked by the FSB “for trea­son”, then kept under house arrest for six months on sus­pi­cion of “finan­cing an extre­mist orga­ni­za­tion”. After fruit­less attempts to plant accor­ding to the pro­ven Soviet tra­di­tion, the “fool” is used. Sergei Abramov, cor­res­pon­ding mem­ber of the Russian Academy of Sciences, foun­der of a num­ber of inno­va­tive com­pa­nies, is plan­ned to be sent to a psy­chia­tric hos­pi­tal for three weeks on November 30 for “conduc­ting an inpa­tient exa­mi­na­tion.”Because the out­pa­tient moti­va­tion of the scien­tist who orga­nizes the super­com­pu­ter forum in Pereslavl-Zalessky, even while under inves­ti­ga­tion, the FSB could not unders­tand even after eight months.

Condemning the Hamas Attack on Israel and Rejecting Hate Speech : A Public Response to a Colleague

T-inva­­riant publish open let­ter by Alexander Kabanov, Mescal S. Ferguson Distinguished Professor, Director, Center for Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery Chapel Hill, UNC. He writes : « The ter­ro­rist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, sho­cked me dee­ply. I was also disap­poin­ted by the sta­te­ment issued by the UNC Chapel Hill Faculty, Graduate Students, and Staff Regarding Justice in Palestine, which said, among other things, “…We believe that an unders­tan­ding of such loss must be situa­ted within the his­to­ri­cal and poli­ti­cal context of ongoing colo­nial oppres­sion.” On November 3, 2023, I sent a brief note to about 40 UNC facul­ty mem­bers who had signed this sta­te­ment by then… »

Igor Efimov : “It will take decades to restore Russian science after Putin…”

How do Russian-spea­­king scien­tists work in America today during the war in Ukraine ? Why is it impor­tant to main­tain contact with col­leagues from the coun­tries of the for­mer USSR ? What awaits Russian science after Putin ? We tal­ked about these and other topics with Igor Efimov, pro­fes­sor of bio­me­di­cal engi­nee­ring and medi­cine at Northwestern University in Chicago, first pre­sident of RASA.

“The state is the parent who beats”, “mobilized and isolated security forces” and “Russia is like a blossoming lotus”

In Chicago, at the annual confe­rence of the Russian-spea­­king American Scientific Association (RASA), socio­lo­gists who have recent­ly been living in the United States chose for their pre­sen­ta­tions topics that can now hard­ly be dis­cus­sed publi­cly while in Russia. Sergey Erofeev (Rutgers University)pre­sen­ted a brief over­view of the most inter­es­ting pre­sen­ta­tions for T-inva­­riant.

« At first I thought it was a fake » — scien­tists on reli­gious fun­da­men­ta­lism of the Institute of General Genetics director 

A.M. Kudryavtsev, cor­res­pon­ding mem­ber of the RAS, direc­tor of the Vavilov Institute of General Genetics of the RAS, made a bla­tant­ly fun­da­men­ta­list pre­sen­ta­tion at a theo­lo­gi­cal confe­rence. He clai­med that muta­tions are cau­sed by sins, that human lifes­pans are shor­te­ning because bibli­cal cha­rac­ters lived for hun­dreds of years, and that Russia is for­ced to war because people in neigh­bo­ring coun­tries have mul­ti­plied too much. « At first I thought it was a fake,» write without col­lu­sion in res­ponse to the obs­cu­ran­tism Acad. Alexei Khokhlov and bio­in­for­ma­ti­cian Alexander Panchin. There is also a res­ponse from the head of the RAS Commission against Pseudoscience, Acad. Eugene Alexandrov.

Sociologist Mikhail Sokolov responds to an inter­view with Victor Vakhshtayn 

Mikhail Sokolov has pos­ted detai­led remarks fol­lo­wing an inter­view with Victor Vakhshtayn publi­shed by T-inva­­riant. Spoiler alert : « Russian social scien­tists … do not need to aban­don Russian mate­rial in the past by era­sing it along with the part of their lives dedi­ca­ted to col­lec­ting it. If you unders­tand how the men­tal maps of the social sciences are arran­ged, … you can, hope­ful­ly, avoid such sacrifices. »

Countries impor­ting Russian fake dissertations 

Prof. Andrei Rostovtsev lis­ted the coun­tries whose citi­zens, accor­ding to Dissernet, acti­ve­ly use the oppor­tu­ni­ty to receive aca­de­mic degrees in Russia for fal­si­fied dis­ser­ta­tions. China is in first place, fol­lo­wed by most Third World coun­tries, and there are even some European coun­tries on the list. And for ins­tance, Tajikistan suc­cess­ful­ly sells Russian-lan­­guage for­ge­ries to Iranians.
