Abstract
Various conceptual approaches to Russian Federation scientific sphere reforming and its adaptation to market conditions are analyzed on the basis of previously unpublished archival documents, statistical data and other materials; they assess the reaction of the academic community and the heads of large enterprises to the activities carried out by the government in the framework of developed program implementation. The conclusion is drawn that the results of the policy carried out during 1990s in Russian science are catastrophic ones in general. The country developed a fundamental contradiction between the purpose of science and the practical use of its achievements to overcome the crisis. The projects and recommendations of leading scientists were ignored. The programs were declarative ones, funding was reduced sharply, which led to the intensification of the brain drain process, the disintegration of scientific schools, and the degradation of production.
Highlights
The need to activate innovative processes, the search for the most optimal strategy of Russian Federation further development, and the heated discussions in this regard, are extremely relevant to study the problems associated with the development of state policy conceptual framework in the scientific sphere and the practice of its implementation in the 1990s
The studied unpublished archival documents allow us to consider the various aspects of the program development for scientific sphere reformation after the USSR collapse even more objectively and more accurately, to assess the reaction of the academic community to the implementation practice of the measures planned by Russian Federation Government
The current situation is the result of neoliberal economic concept implementation in Russia, according to which any state intervention in the economy leads to negative consequences (Independent Newspaper, February 8, 2010)
Summary
The need to activate innovative processes, the search for the most optimal strategy of Russian Federation further development, and the heated discussions in this regard, are extremely relevant to study the problems associated with the development of state policy conceptual framework in the scientific sphere and the practice of its implementation in the 1990s. We discussed the issues related to the reforming of scientific and technical sphere during this period in a number of publications. The studied unpublished archival documents allow us to consider the various aspects of the program development for scientific sphere reformation after the USSR collapse even more objectively and more accurately, to assess the reaction of the academic community to the implementation practice of the measures planned by Russian Federation Government
