“Overtake foreign scientists without catching up with them”. Who opposes the fight against pseudoscience in Russia

The Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences transferred the functions of the Commission for Combating Pseudoscience functions to an expert council, lowering its status and making it more dependent on the organisation’s leadership. The Academy established the anti-pseudoscience commission in 1998 on the Nobel laureate Vitaly Ginzburg’s initiative. In 2009, the commission’s members criticised the “nano filters for water purification” promoted by Boris Gryzlov, the former speaker of the Russian parliament. The public outcry almost destroyed Mr Gryzlov’s career. In 2011, he retired from the parliament and disappeared from the political arena for ten years. In early 2022, the former speaker resurfaced and became the Russian ambassador to Belarus.
