In Moscow, there is now a real hunt for science, to
be more exact for scientists' heads.
Recently, the head of microbiology sub-faculty of
Russian State Medical University (former Second
Moscow Medical Institute), V.Korshunov was killed.
The body of the killed professor with cranial injury
was found on Friday, at 8.15 (Moscow time) in the
entrance of the house in Academician Bakulev Street,
in Southwest Administrative District, where the
56-year-old scientist lived.
The police immediately arrived to the spot. Forensic
medical experts found out that the scientist died 8
hours earlier. Afterwards, proceedings were instituted.
It was already third death of a scientist, that
witnessed it hardly could be a coincidence. Only
within this January, Russian Academy of Science lost
two scientists with world name -- academician I.Glebov
(who died as a result of a bandit attack in St
Petersburg) and Corresponding Member of the Academy
of Science A.Brushlinski (who was killed in Moscow).
So, what is happening? At first, one was fighting
against pseudo-science, than against brain drain,
and now against what will we fight?
This scientist has probably invented a vaccine
protecting from any biological arm, or -- quite the
contrary -- created such an arm, like Brushlinski
who suffered for his creation.
Russian science seems to literally die out. Academic
degree is becoming too dangerous for its possessors.
