As you understand, dear subscribers, we continue to comprehend the story of the dismissal of Professor Bely from UlSU for his TG channel. I’ll add a conclusion to the Zoo’s post, which I’ve come to more than once, watching the reactions of officials to publications on Telegram.

In general, specialized telegram channels write about the low salaries of school teachers, about nonsense in the Federal State Educational Standards, about garbage scientific journals and plagiarism, about the strange conditions of grant competitions, about the overload of teachers, about the problem of toilets and cafeterias, about hacking stupid KPI indicators and about hundreds of others things. And, surprisingly, they don’t really argue with this, they defend themselves without passion, and rarely react at all. Probably, all this does not deeply offend the professional dignity of the same collective Ministry of Education and Science.

But as soon as the non-anonymous channel inserted a short note about the already completed (!) dismissal of Deputy Minister Druzhinina, the gears immediately started turning. And, of course, not in the direction of a constructive response or refutation of criticism, but in the direction of eliminating the irritant. From the reaction it is immediately clear what and who cares In factrather than within strategic sessions.

It’s as if they are telling us: we, of course, are dealing with the problem of short-term contracts, we are trying to improve the KPI system and we can discuss this with you. But we will fight like lions, make phone calls and seek urgent concrete action only in one case: when someone touched our. And after all, there was no sensation in the post of the “Science and Universities” channel: those interested had already read materials on the topic from the same @vchkogpu for a long time (there are half a million subscribers, what are we talking about!). But a university professor is prohibited from even mentioning such things.

I hope we will live to see the times when the concept “our” will change the meaning to a more correct one. And when the professional dignity of the ministry is insulted by the adjusted average salary of an assistant professor at the university and fake dissertations approved by the Higher Attestation Commission, and not gossip about officials in a telegram (if, of course, they really are gossip).
