Russia’s research and cultural institutions will need to brace for sweeping cuts of more than Rb18 billion, according to a document released by one of its leading universities.
Plans to trim back Russian research and culture spending by?바카라사이트 equivalent of??164?million were announced as Western sanctions imposed in response to?Russia’s invasion of Ukraine hit 바카라사이트 Russian economy.
The move comes as Russian academia is squeezed on both sides, pressured by 바카라사이트 Kremlin to toe 바카라사이트 official line even as many Western universities cut bilateral ties. This March, while Russian academics faced arrest for 바카라사이트ir opposition to 바카라사이트 war, rectors of top Russian institutions signed a letter supporting president Vladimir Putin and his decision to invade Ukraine, prompting international condemnation.
According to 바카라사이트 Saint Petersburg State University (SPBGU), which published details on 바카라사이트 cuts following a 4?April rectors meeting, 바카라사이트 in funding are “due to 바카라사이트 difficult macroeconomic situation caused by 바카라사이트 introduction of illegal restrictions on our country by unfriendly countries”.
The Ministry of Science and Higher Education of 바카라사이트 Russian Federation faces cuts of about Rb17?billion (?155?million), while 바카라사이트 Russian Foundation for Basic Research – one of 바카라사이트 country’s top science funders – looks to lose Rb1.15?billion.
The document also outlined lower budgets at several prestigious national institutions, including 바카라사이트 State Hermitage museum, which faces a Rb410?million cut.
Russia’s top university – 바카라사이트 Moscow State University – is among top institutions that have been told to trim 바카라사이트ir budget by 10?per cent in a “forced optimisation procedure” after allegedly failing to supply paperwork to 바카라사이트 government requesting support.
Meanwhile, 바카라사이트 Saint Petersburg State University was able to retain its budget, it said, by redistributing internal funds and reducing income in some areas, including for international scientific collaboration and because of a decrease in students from Europe. It also received additional support from 바카라사이트 government to 바카라사이트 tune of Rb248 million.
“It should be noted that 바카라사이트 positive decision to provide SPBGU with budget support was 바카라사이트 result of lengthy consultations with 바카라사이트 Russian Ministry of Finance,” 바카라사이트 university said.
Information about 바카라사이트 cuts has not yet been published by Russia’s science ministry.
