Innovators-schemers

The National Association for Innovation and Development of Information Technologies (NAIRIT) announced the detection of fraud in the allocation of grants for the development of innovative projects. Recently, a group of so-called "black" innovators has formed around innovation support institutions, who participate in innovation project competitions solely for the purpose of personal enrichment without the intention of doing any creative work at the same time.

The action plan of the "black" innovators is as follows: they submit to one of the innovation support institutions a legally competent application for a grant in order to develop a promising innovation project. In case of receiving a grant, the required research works are either simply not carried out by them, or a formal report on their implementation is provided. Then, after "mastering" the received funds, "black" innovators submit the same applications for the next competition.

At the moment, the list includes ten surnames.

So far, NAIRIT does not intend to submit this list for public publication. According to the President of NAIRIT Olga Uskova, "this is done in order not to cast a shadow on well-known and respected scientific institutions and other organizations in which these unscrupulous innovators work. For now, we are just planning to transfer this list to all organizations that allocate grants for scientific and technological research in order to prevent further attempts at innovative fraud."

The ballad of sawn dough
(Leonid Kaganov wrote it for the project razgovor.org back at the beginning of the CRISIS, October 28, 2008)

People from all over the country with children and adults, opening their mouths, abandoning all business, sat for many years under the trestles on which money was being cut. Somewhere in the sky, muscular hands were moving an industrial cutter, and golden shavings were rolling into everyone's pocket for nothing. Those who are taller – those behind the collar in heaps, those who are lower – those in the coat pocket, well, what crumbled – those of us who were nobody at all hoarded. The skinny fingers were greedily grasping what had spilled down from the thick ones. On weekends and on weekdays, day and night – there was a cheerful squeal over the country. The shavings were warm, cheerful, smelled delicious of bread and food – with a slight aroma of petrodollar, nickel and other nonsense. Some people bought a stone cottage, the rest did not, but everyone is warm. We bought plasma panels to watch the loot being cut. Sitting at the screens, we drank vodka. So what, who wouldn't? If a competent industrial saw is made with imported saws? Is this an unattainable dream? Let the Chinese plow hard, and above us – the eternal sawn thick resinous loot! Know, sit, pistachios with beer husking, under his rhythmic noises. That's what you are, the Russian idea – the one that we have been looking for for so many years! We are kings! The universe is a wet nurse! One has only to blink an eye at us, all the loot will come to us and get drunk, covering our path with shavings! We have a dowry for marriage! We don't have to strain our minds! We have already bought Eurovision! And we almost bought football! And already dressed in foreign clothes! And then, by such and such a date, the silence was unusual. It's like someone turned off the saw. At first we thought not to dig. But then it came to us a little: something stopped falling from above, although there is enough at the bottom for now. And today it's time for us to take offense: what kind of global crisis is this? Since September, the loot has not been cut! How are you guys with your head? Well, answer without hysteria, who came up with this trap? The crisis is somewhere out there in America, and we don't have any loot?! We don't care about banks and depositors, who didn't pay extra for what! Call the adjusters to us urgently, let them fix the interrupted drink! If you have a convolution in your head, they quickly fixed everything, one or two! Since September, the loot has not been cut in the country! And the grub is already running out...
