Title: Support of Fundamental Science: Changing Targets
Abstract:  The program of fundamental research which is to become a part of the State Program of the Russian Federation on Development of Science and Technologies in the 2013–2020 Period is under active development. After a change of the top management of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, a few versions of the state program’s sub-section dedicated to development of fundamental science emerged. Those versions differ much from the one which was early approved by the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). Analysis of the versions developed by the Ministry of Education and Science points to the fact that one of the objectives consists in restructuring of the RAS. However, permanent and inconsistent changes may, on the contrary, postpone solution of that problem.
