Caro Claudio: Io sottoscrivo interventi collettivi solo eccezionalmente, ma questo mi sembra un caso abbastanza eccezionale. Ti prego dunque di aggiungere il mio nome come sottoscrittore della lettera di cui hai fatto circolare il draft.

cari colleghi, vi mando una copia di una lettera ricevuta da due
Matematici ed
accademici Russi, non so cosa possiamo fare oltre a farla circolare.
Forse
sottoscrivere una lettera da inviare all'indirizzo che ci mandano. La
lettera
potrebbe essere del tipo
Dear Minister, we hear from our distinguished colleagues that it is in
act a
deep transformation of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
We do not want to enter into the details of this plan but want to
firmly
stress the fact that, when touching such old and distinguished
institutions,
one should do it with extreme care and full involvement of the
scientific
community. Such reforms, when done only by bureaucrats and politicians destroy traditions and do not build anything useful for the future.
Needless
to say that, even in the most obscure years of the past, the academic institutions of Russia and the Soviet Union have always carried a high
and
unique scholarly tradition.
We hope that hasty and not well planned "reforms" will not destroy what centuries of scholarly work has built. Sincerely yours firme

Moscow, June 29, 2013
Dear Professor Procesi,
On Thursday, June 27, 2013 the Russian Government unexpectedly
discussed and
approved the draft law on liquidation of the Russian Academy of Sciences founded in 1725 and on creating on its basis a new public organization.
All
the existing institutions of our Academy are offered to move away from
the new
organization, to subordinate them to a special administrative Government agency, and to subject to a selection compliant with certain conditions defined solely by this agency. A very negative experience of such a
selection
made by Government officials was demonstrated last fall during
monitoring of
the educational institutions in Russia. Many popular and highly reputed universities have been declared ineffective according to the rules that
in
fact have little to do with assessing real scientific level.
Another unpleasant aspect of this situation is that the draft law, which fundamentally changes the system of science organization in Russia, has
been
prepared and examined without discussion with the scientific community.
Even
the public structures created by the Ministry of Education and Science
for
consultations with the representatives of the scientific community have
not
been involved in a discussion of the draft law and have not been
informed on
its existence. The Academy also has not been informed on the existence
of the
project.
This law has already been submitted to the Parliament of the Russian Federation and is asked to be approved on the next week. After the
acceptance
of this law, a liquidation process of the Academy should be completed
within
three months.
We ask you to express your opinion about the destruction of the Russian Academy of Sciences. You can send it to the address of the Department of Mathematics of the Academy (with a copy to us) om@ras.ru.
Unfortunately, the
matter is urgent.
We would be very grateful for your support in this difficult for
science in
Russia time.
A. N.Parshin,
V.L.Popov
