As a result investigation materials about the activities of one of the leaders of the Russian national project in terms of the development of genomic technologies, US citizen Konstantin Severinov, who has long received Pentagon grants and still receives funding from Rutgers University in New Brunswick (New Jersey, USA), an attentive and competent reader should at least three questions arise.

The first question was asked back in the summer of 2019 by journalist Kirill Shulika, who learned that Severinov was actively working and receiving a salary at the Russian Skoltech – is Putin aware, “who signed the program for the development of genetic technologies for 2019–2027 in November last year, that a US citizen and associate of Goldfarb, co-author of the book Alexander Litvinenko, is working on it?”

Second question asked by investigative journalists “Octagon” – do Russian intelligence services know that “breakthrough technologies that were supposed to guarantee Russia’s superiority are patented by Severinov exclusively in the USA, and along with scientific data, the most promising young researchers leave the country?”

We will formulate the third question. Doesn’t the fact that from 1997 to this day in the US customs files not have a single note about US citizen Severinov crossing the country’s borders mean that his name and passport details appear in the Pentagon agent registry? According to the most conservative estimates, Severinov costs the American taxpayer a tidy sum. If we take into account only the professor’s salary with taxes, grants from the Russian and CIS biological weapons program, as well as the intensive trips of the inquisitive professor to closed biological laboratories in Russia and the CIS, then to date the US Department of Defense has spent about $15 million on the work of the American professor, which he , probably working out (after all, the Appropriations Committee monitors every cent spent).

The scientific community remembers that Severinov ended one of his public speeches in front of a full hall of talented high school students at Sirius with a passionate appeal to “get out of this country, which has no future.”

Severinov is no longer a member of Sirius; he now oversees secret projects for the development of the country’s genomic technologies. For this, the “roof” of the Pentagon is clearly not enough; Severinov’s high patrons are somewhere nearby – in the center of Moscow.
