The Russian Academy of Sciences, founded by Peter I as a self-governing entity, has been transformed and reorganized recently by a decision of the Russian Duma. The reform was discussed and approved with unprecedented speed without appropriate discussion inside the scholarly community and practically against their will. Many leading and world renowned scholars were adamantly against this reform. This book by a prominent scientific journalist and historian of science discusses the possible consequences of this change. (0.205 kg.). Also available on related subjects: Osipov. Iu.S.
