About one simple and reliable way to destroy the future of our military science, and a little later of our entire military-industrial complex

I must state right away that the author of this text is in no way connected with the system of the Central Military Research Institute. As in the famous film, I feel bad for the state... The author himself has a modest relationship with military science - at one of the enterprises that develops cannon artillery, he works in the design bureau and participates in research and development work on the work being carried out.

In our country, the effectiveness of weapons programs and the ongoing scientific and technical policy in the field of armaments, yes, with varying degrees of success, is largely the merit of a number of Central Research Institutes of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. They are not advertised in the media - there were only a couple of stories on the Zvezda TV channel about some of them, and therefore for the majority of citizens of the Russian Federation, these institutions do not exist, and the specifics of their work do not imply publicity. Although their real contribution to defense capability, to the fact that we have a rational range of weapons and it all works, and works reliably, is difficult to overestimate, as well as the rationale for the directions of future developments.



Historically, the majority of the Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense is located in the hero city of Moscow. In Soviet times, only the best of the best got there, including honored chief designers and their deputies who went to work after retirement, and recruited young people from the best graduates of the Moscow Higher Technical School, Moscow Aviation Institute, and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

The flower of our scientific and technical thought works in these central research institutes, and this center of crystallization of the efforts of the entire military-industrial complex is being persistently sought and systematically destroyed: it began in the 90s, under Serdyukov it continued - as part of the general processes for the transfer/relocation of scientific centers from Moscow, and what is surprising , continue to destroy, and the ongoing NVO, as they say, is not an obstacle.

In our capitalist and democratic country, everything is measured, including the need for a person, any institutions, by a simple and universal measure: money and, in particular, the salary of those who receive it, and then give it away by going to the store or paying utility, mortgage, credit accounts. Let's leave the talk that money is not everything, not the main thing, since those who put the question this way usually work in leadership positions and are not ready to continue working for the common good under any circumstances for the minimum wage, and even in the store for merit before society, the state, no one gives anything for free or even at a discount. Therefore, in fact, there is no way without money. The level of salaries, wider than social guarantees, working conditions, of course, does not boil down to just the number of measly pieces of paper, but their quantity allows or does not allow us to implement personnel policies, attract and encourage the best, pass on the accumulated experience to the younger generation, if, of course, they will be the same ones attracted by conditions. In this vein, I propose to look, without rose-colored glasses and slogans, at the actual personnel policy (read: the policy that will determine our future) in the key central research institutes of military science in our country in terms of the conditions for attracting new personnel. I’ll say right away that there are no and cannot be any complaints against the Central Research Institutes themselves and their leaders: however much money the state allocated to them, that’s how much they can allocate for wages for both current and future employees.

All data is taken from open and official data. List of the Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense from the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation: https://ens.mil.ru/science/SRI.htm. Vacancies and salary conditions for each Central Research Institute are presented there.

Let's look at the example of the 46th Central Research Institute, as one of our most outstanding Central Research Institutes, what working conditions are offered - what it is, personnel policy and the prospects for our bright future in this regard. The 46th Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is a “supra-specific research organization of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to substantiate the prospects for the development of the weapons system of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the formation of a methodological apparatus for the development of the State weapons program, proposals of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for the state defense order, as well as military standardization and cataloging of supplies of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

In addition, the 46th Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is the lead scientific organization in the Ministry of Defense on the problems of developing programs for the development of the domestic technological base, justifying the implementation of modern high-tech projects in the defense industry, as well as preparing proposals and conclusions on the promotion of Russian technologies and scientific and technological achievements .

The Institute takes an active part in the creation of an automated system for managing the development of weapons and military equipment and the introduction of new information technologies in the interests of information support for the RF Armed Forces.

At the same time, the institute is the lead in the Russian Ministry of Defense in creating special software for an automated complex for generating program documents. Source.

Having taken official data on vacancies, the author, without changing anything in the content, simply structured this data (for example, by listing the qualification requirements/content of work point by point) and made a calculation of how much the candidate would receive at the maximum. The following is data on three vacancies at the 46th Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, taken from the website of the Ministry of Defense:

- according to vacancy Researcher
- according to vacancy head of laboratory.

Additionally, having looked at all the vacancies of the 46th Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and other Central Research Institutes of the Ministry of Defense, the author was convinced that the income levels are almost identical for other Central Research Institutes of the Ministry of Defense, for example, see. 4th Central Research Institute. 3th Central Research Institute one of the most important, if we can say that there are more important ones at the Central Research Institute.

So, let's start with the first basic vacancy: researcher.

The fact that a Stakhanovite is at work is excellent, but the salary is something not like Gref and not even like a taxi driver in Moscow... Let me remind you that a candidate or doctor of sciences who already has experience in managing military R&D should work here...

Data source.

Let’s compare, taking vacancies in Moscow and the average salary of such workers.

Taxi driver. Car rental Comfort +
100 – 000 ₽/month

Loader-picker at Perekrestok (store)
77 ₽/month

Private hairdresser:
60 – 000 ₽/month

And a doctor/candidate of sciences for vacancy No. 3, responsible for R&D, the team, co-executors, the direction of these works throughout the Russian Federation: 44 ₽/month...

Do you and I really have a future with such a personnel policy?!


In connection with the above, I consider it necessary to also raise the following questions:

- Why don’t the management of the institutes and their employees fight for the labor rights of their teams?

- why did the Ministry of Defense make such systemic errors in personnel work and do not strive not only to correct them, but to exclude from the management those who were guilty of this or should have, but did not report in any way, did not act/inactive in this regard?

- why are these problems clear and important to me, but those who are 10 steps higher are not concerned about this - maybe we need to switch places?

- perhaps they all live wonderfully and earn decent money, and I am categorically mistaken and draw erroneous conclusions - but then what other facts should I base my conclusions on?

    Yes, people become 30000 people (to work for 50) out of despair. Advertisements - seller 60-80. On a shift, a cook is 100, a driver, a tractor driver, an excavator operator is already under 30000. Therefore, it is not surprising when they say that they have opened a new plant, with the latest equipment, but no one is in a hurry, the salary is up to XNUMX. Of course, besides payment, another question arises, where to get specialists. When the vocational education system is broken. And those who remain are preparing so that they can answer the exam questions correctly. Such a “specialist” comes and doesn’t know anything other than the correct answers. Therefore, the problem here is not just the salary...

        That's not how it works. Correctly like this:
        "If there is a normal salary, there will be opportunity attract a specialist."
        It is the opportunity, not the specialist himself. For a specialist is a huge problem in our time of a market approach, where the worker is nothing more than a resource (commonplace due to the fact that in production, grassroots specialists have been replaced by “masters of one operation”, and in science by “masters of publications in rating publications”)

          If there is a normal salary, there will be a demand for such potential specialists for training. Programmers are paid a lot - and a bunch of all sorts of online schools have appeared without any government participation.

            The problem with the schools you described is that they do not train specialists. Just as 30 years ago, universities trained specialists (plus self-study), universities prepare them now (plus a lot of self-study and specialized courses).
            By the way, salaries in the industry are high precisely because there are catastrophically few specialists - and the “fashionability” of the topic is hyper-high, exceeding the real needs for individual solutions (thanks to which it is possible to “cheat” customers into paying a lot even for under-resources in the form of a “master of one” functions", having only gained a little experience after the school you mentioned)

              As a person who graduated from Moscow State University and now hires graduates, I can say that this is nonsense. In universities they teach you how to take colloquiums, study philosophy, difurs and other useless nonsense, calling it training in learning. But in reality, in two years in real work, a 20-year-old boy will outshine any graduate of a paper graduate school.

              There are few specialists everywhere, but in some places they also pay well for non-specialists, and in some places even doctors of science with 20 years of experience are offered 50 thousand. And where they pay enough, people themselves are ready to break into pieces and pay themselves so that someone can teach them . For them, there are not even books in the library; study as you wish in another language. And for technical specialists there are plenty of materials, but it’s like the joke - in order to get a lot you need to work a little without turning on your brain, and in order to get a penny you have to study hard for a long time and then break into work.

After college, I received an assignment to an academic institute, so for my work I only needed one (!) lecture, “Synthesis of microprogrammed automata.” smile CVM course laughing .Yes, there were also AVMs back then laughing The strength of Soviet technical education was that students were taught to think! And if you are accustomed to thinking, then you will be able to handle almost any task, even if you did not study this area at university.
        And this happened not only to me.

      Another question arises: where to find specialists. When the vocational education system is broken. And those who remain are preparing so that they can answer the exam questions correctly. Such a “specialist” comes and doesn’t know anything other than the correct answers.

      About the engineers
      Not a single technical university provides complete and comprehensive answers to the questions that a future development engineer has to solve in the workplace. No university has or can have such answers. A technical university has other functions:
      - firstly, SELECTION, first from among applicants, and then in junior courses (through expulsion for poor academic performance), young people who are able to absorb technical knowledge and apply them in the educational process;
      - secondly, training in fundamental technical knowledge that is likely to be useful to future specialists (for example, programming languages ​​and technologies for programmers, strength materials for mechanics and builders, electrical engineering and circuit design for electronics hardware developers).
      And then, not everyone can work in a technical specialty at a university. Some people don’t have enough jobs (mainly those who live outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg), some lack abilities or don’t like engineering work despite their higher education, many don’t like the salary of a young specialist and leave after a year or two where they pay more.

          For part one:
          about the obviousness of the topic:
          Regarding the obvious: the author does not claim a Nobel Prize (for a discovery of great importance for the development of science and society), but highlighted a very particular, but in his opinion, a strategic problem, the failure to solve which will come back much worse than the loss of half of our army, since half of the army can be recruit again, teach, and if scientific schools are lost, it will not be possible to replace them.
          About the obvious, “the destruction of the country is being carried out purposefully by those clans that usurped power through betrayal and the collapse of the USSR.” -not obvious and here's why:
          Purposefulness presupposes properly formulated goals, controls and any kind of process control - in this case destruction, which presupposes high intelligence and design, as well as energy purposefully directed towards achieving the goal. In this regard, I do not share your optimism regarding the intellectual abilities of those pursuing relevant policies on the ground. I don’t believe in various conspiracies and don’t demonize the political system at all - there are quite ordinary people there with ordinary human needs and weaknesses - they didn’t come to us from Mars. Obeying the general law of entropy and movement along the path of least resistance, as well as the principle of capitalism that man is a wolf to man, they only take natural actions within the framework of established socio-political relations based on the same basis (economy) = maximize profits and minimize costs, in to the extent of your understanding of these processes and to the extent of your ability to influence them. As a maxim it sounds like this: worse than a saboteur with a nuclear bomb in the rear is an idiot commander. An idiot not in the clinical sense - everyone has certificates, and real ones. Idiot comes from the word not to, but from, that is, against something. For example, not to develop, and not to spend more than the budget guidelines, as the authorities said, there would be no unnecessary questions, and so on. It's not about people, but about the conditions, the rules of the game in which people necessarily find themselves.

          Of course, people live in Siberia, but why do you need this? I recommend that you edit your post for your benefit...
          Now what did V.I. say about these theses? Lenin: article “What to do” part 4 I quote “a) What is handicraft?
          Let's try to answer this question with a small picture of the activities of a typical Social Democratic circle of 1894-1901. We have already pointed out the craze for Marxism among students of this period. This passion, of course, related not only and not even so much to Marxism as a theory, but as an answer to the question: “what to do?”, as a call to go on a campaign against the enemy. And the new warriors went on a campaign with surprisingly primitive equipment and training. In most cases there was almost no equipment and absolutely no training. They went to war like men from a plow, taking only one club. A circle of students, without any connection with the old leaders of the movement, without any connection with circles in other localities or even in other parts of the city (or in other educational institutions), without any organization of individual parts of the revolutionary work, without any systematic plan of activity for any length of time significant period, makes connections with workers and gets down to business. The circle gradually develops wider and broader propaganda and agitation, and by the fact of its performance attracts the sympathy of quite a wide section of workers, the sympathy of a certain part of educated society, which provides money and places more and more groups of young people at the disposal of the “Committee”. The charm of the committee (or struggle union) grows, the scope of its activities grows, and it expands this activity completely spontaneously: the same people who a year or several months ago spoke in student circles and decided the question: “where to go?”, who started and maintained relations with the workers, produced and published leaflets, established contacts with other groups of revolutionaries, obtained literature, began publishing a local newspaper, began to talk about organizing a demonstration, and finally moved on to open military action (and this open military action could be, depending on depending on the circumstances, the very first propaganda leaflet, the first issue of the newspaper, and the first demonstration). And usually the very first beginning of these actions immediately leads to complete failure.

          Immediately and completely precisely because these military actions were not the result of a systematic, pre-meditated and gradually prepared plan for a long and persistent struggle, but simply a spontaneous growth of traditionally carried out circle work; because the police, naturally, almost always knew all the main figures of the local movement, who had “proven” themselves since their student days, and only waited for the most convenient moment for them to raid, deliberately allowing the circle to grow and develop enough to have a tactile corpus delicti, and deliberately always leaving a few people known to her “for routing” (as the technical expression says, used, as far as I know, by both our brother and the gendarmes). Such a war cannot but be compared with the campaign of gangs of peasants armed with clubs against modern troops. And one must only be amazed at the vitality of the movement, which expanded, grew and won victories, despite this complete lack of preparation among those who fought. True, from a historical point of view, the primitiveness of equipment was not only inevitable at the beginning, but even legal, as one of the conditions for the widespread involvement of warriors. But as soon as serious hostilities began (and they began, in essence, with the summer strikes of 1896), the shortcomings of our military organization began to be felt more and more strongly. Having been taken aback at first and having made a number of mistakes (such as appealing to society with a description of the atrocities of the socialists or exiling workers from the capitals to the industrial centers of the province), the government soon adapted to the new conditions of the struggle and managed to put its own detachments of provocateurs, armed with all the improvements, in their proper places, spies and gendarmes. Pogroms began to be repeated so often, to capture such a mass of people, to sweep out local circles to such an extent that the working masses lost literally all their leaders, the movement acquired an incredibly spasmodic character, and absolutely no continuity or coherence of work could be established. The astonishing fragmentation of local leaders, the randomness of the composition of the circles, lack of preparation and narrow horizons in the field of theoretical, political and organizational issues were the inevitable result of the conditions described. Things have come to the point that in some places the workers, due to our lack of restraint and secrecy, are imbued with distrust of the intelligentsia and shun them: intellectuals, they say, lead to failures too thoughtlessly!

          That this amateurism has finally begun to be felt by all thinking Social Democrats as a disease—everyone who is at all familiar with the movement knows this. And so that the reader unfamiliar with him does not think that we are artificially “constructing” a special stage or a special movement disease, we will refer to the witness already mentioned once. Let them not complain about us for the long statement.

          “If a gradual transition to broader practical activity,” writes B-v in No. 6 of “Rab. Dela,” the transition, which is directly dependent on the general transition time experienced by the Russian labor movement, is a characteristic feature... that is, another no less interesting feature in the general mechanism of the Russian labor revolution. We are talking about the general lack of revolutionary forces capable of action, which is felt not only in St. Petersburg, but throughout Russia. With the general revival of the labor movement, with the general development of the working masses, with the ever-increasing frequency of strikes, with the increasingly open mass struggle of the workers, intensifying government persecution, arrests, exile and expulsion, this lack of qualitatively high revolutionary forces is becoming more and more noticeable and, undoubtedly, remains not without influence on the depth and general nature of the movement. Many strikes take place without strong and direct influence from revolutionary organizations... there is a shortage of propaganda leaflets and illegal literature... workers' circles are left without agitators... Along with this, there is a constant need for funds. In short, the growth of the labor movement is faster than the growth and development of revolutionary organizations.

          The number of active revolutionaries turns out to be too insignificant to concentrate in their hands influence on the entire agitated working masses, in order to give all the unrest at least a touch of harmony and organization... Individual circles, individual revolutionaries are not collected, not united, do not constitute a single, strong and disciplined organization with systematically developed units." And, having made the reservation that the immediate appearance of new circles, in place of the broken ones, "proves only the vitality of the movement... but does not yet show the presence of a sufficient number of quite suitable revolutionary figures," the author concludes: "The practical unpreparedness of the St. Petersburg revolutionaries also affects in the results of their work. Recent processes, especially of the “Self-Liberation” and “Struggle of Labor with Capital” groups, have clearly shown that a young agitator, unfamiliar in detail with the working conditions, and therefore the agitation at this plant, who does not know the principles of conspiracy and has learned” (has he learned?) “Only the general views of social democracy, it can work for some 4, 5, 6 months. Then comes the arrest, often leading to the destruction of the entire organization or at least part of it.

          The question is, is the successful and fruitful activity of a group possible if the existence of this group is determined by months? Obviously, the shortcomings of existing organizations cannot be entirely attributed to the transition time... obviously, the quantitative and, most importantly, qualitative composition of existing organizations plays an important role here, and the first task of our Social Democrats... should be the real unification of organizations with a strict choice."

              Hello ! I will answer you from the end:
              - Definitely no one pays me for my articles, I don’t know if anyone else is paid, I think it’s more likely no than yes.
              - the article, of course, reflects my convictions that without preserving military science, and these are scientific schools and continuity in their development, first these schools will not exist, then the Makhnovshchina will begin in the development of weapons, and then there will simply be a degradation in the level of development, and this is strategic our country is a loser and cannot be changed by any political decision. In this sense, the loss of scientific schools is comparable to the death of part of the army and navy, and even more dangerous, since the material and personnel content in the armed forces is relatively easy to restore, then the physical departure of the head of a direction in science in the absence of a successor usually leads to the closure of this direction for decades, if not forever.
              As for money (material resources) and life: with any form of power, political and military leadership, in conditions of limited resources, have to solve the difficult task of choosing short-term and long-term priorities, what and who to sacrifice in the name of more.
              In 1941, despite the difficult situation on all fronts, the State Defense Committee continued to finance science and, in particular, the work of the special committee (the future nuclear bomb), although in general it was not obvious that something would work out and when it would work out. Stalin and Beria can be treated differently, but even the most notorious enemies and propagandists did not consider them idiots.
              The issue of preserving scientific schools and their development is a strategic issue and perhaps thousands of arrows will fly at me, but for the truth it does not matter who proclaimed it, an enemy, a friend or anyone else, so let there be no division, half the army, pay less to pensioners, the allowance for children will be lower, they will even get into the profits of the oligarchs, but without military science the question is only 5-15 years, when no courage and will to win will replace modern models of technology, and I repeat, simply by a strong-willed decision to restore, let’s do such issues are not resolved by words at all. In absolute numbers, these central research institutes require pennies; after all, there are not millions or hundreds of thousands of people working there. Several thousand throughout the country. Moreover, if in Moscow you don’t change the same tile three times a year, there will still be money left not only for science, but also for new factories, so that everything that science creates can be brought to life.

              On the intelligence of political opponents
              I don’t consider political opponents fools at all, all fools work, like the author, for 35-70000 rubles and write articles for free, for example, here, smart people work for completely different incomes and do not spend personal time on what they consider important for the common good . I just don’t think it’s right to demonize them, dehumanize them and give them some kind of super abilities, for example intellectual ones. But the fact that the state has an apparatus of violence is not new, nor is the fact that it is quite effective.

      Yes. But systemic destruction began in the fall of 1993, when a certain “group” seized all power.
      That's right - they destroy everything that is good and useful and honest... and pious.

    Why don’t the management of the institutes and their employees fight for the labor rights of their teams?

    Because a person cannot be terribly afraid of saying the wrong thing about politics and sit down and at the same time be proactive and courageous in other issues. It doesn't happen that way.
    As for the defense industry specifically, the article does not indicate the main thing - what is the average age of employees there. They usually don’t hire young people there, as elsewhere (they don’t hire people without experience, you can’t gain experience without work, kids, get a higher education, it’s very useful in life). Although in the defense industry you can understand that they are not hiring, a normal young person will not be able to stand working in an older group for long.

      About fears and political freedoms. We haven’t jailed anyone yet for fighting for their labor rights, and there is a chance of getting into difficulties in relations with higher management, but you have to have balls and not only think about yourself personally, that’s all. Let’s be honest, we don’t put people in jail right or left. Therefore, I see the lack of struggle largely due to the fear of losing a position and separation from the management team. I may be wrong.
      About age: the facts are presented, I’m not a part-time employee of the intelligence agencies - I don’t have a database with data on the age of workers throughout our military-industrial complex, and I think it’s not appropriate to fantasize. Is there a lot of it in our design bureaus and central research institutes for those who are well over 60? I’ll assume that it’s not a little, but I don’t know how much in grams.
      As for endurance when working in a group of older people: youth is a disadvantage that quickly passes. In my coordinates there is no concept of old or young: there is a specialist of different skill levels and nothing more, and his age has nothing to do with the matter at all.

        I slightly disagree. And you can suffer for labor rights. It’s one thing to fight for rights in the “Zhuravlik” kindergarten, with a team of 12 people, but a strike by truck drivers is something completely different. With armored vehicles and cutting circles - 24. Don't remind me what minor problems the union leader had. You can search for the video, I think not everything was deleted. Or a tractor march in Kuban. True, this is a little different, but not too far from the question. How many months did the leader serve? He recently died without having achieved the truth in continuously drawn-out trials. From the age of 16. So they imprison you for everything, and for nothing at all. It’s just that the character is not widespread, and they imprison those who greatly interfere with the leadership’s ability to live in peace. Something like this.

In your opinion, if a trade union defends the rights of its members, then this is loosening the bonds and shaking the foundations? Hard? What about the Constitution? Federal Law? Or is this all wrong? Do you need to understand?

          So they imprison you for everything, and for nothing at all. It’s just that the character is not widespread, and they imprison those who greatly interfere with the leadership’s ability to live in peace. Something like this.

          In fact, the more important figure is that it is nowhere to be found - how many people were not imprisoned only because they fought for their rights, realized that the matter smelled of kerosene, quit everywhere, where they had not yet been fired, and fell silent.
          If they avoided arrest at the cost of becoming silent invisible people, that's the whole iceberg. Those who got to the point of landing are just the tip of the iceberg.
          And we must say separately about the servants of the law, from whom, since the time of Major Dymovsky, quite a few stories have received wide coverage. In Sochi, the guys were put on the federal wanted list, also a well-known case.

Not at all. Maybe if your design bureau goes on strike in its entirety, and this is covered in the media, something will change a little. Big people will come, promise a 5k increase and, most of them, will run to work like a sweetheart. There are plenty of examples. Maybe they won't be deceived. Only this is not a solution, and if there is a solution, it will be a local one. You will have a higher salary - the rest will have the same salary. The system needs to be changed.

Look at the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Labor Code of the Russian Federation) and you will immediately understand whose rights are protected the most in the country.
    - why did the Ministry of Defense make such systemic errors in personnel work and do not strive not only to correct them, but to exclude from the management those who were guilty of this or should have, but did not report in any way, did not act/inactive in this regard?

    And in the Ministry of Defense, are all personnel selected taking into account experience and merit? Are there really no “hey, general or hey, general’s lady” positions there anymore? Even in this system, difficulties arise in suitability for the position due to the system of appointment from among the “pleasant” and “executive”, rather than the smart and smart ones.
    - why are these problems clear and important to me, and those who are 10 steps higher are not concerned about this - maybe we should switch places?

That the one who leads needs those whom he leads no less than the other way around.

        I understand - everything is logical for this system of government.
        In the USSR, many ministers began their careers as a production site foreman or a design engineer. During their activities, they gradually climbed the personnel ladder, becoming a competent leader who well understands all the problems in the field of management.

        Currently there is no such selection for leadership positions.
        But there are various management training programs at RANEPA, HIGH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS NRU HSE, etc.
        Therefore, many of our ministers do not have experience in the field of their leadership, moreover, they do not have specialized education. One can say about each minister:
        "...Character is Nordic, self-possessed. Maintains good relations with his workmates. Fulfills his official duty impeccably...he has not been noticed in any connections that discredit him. Recognized with awards..."

            There is no need to take the post-revolutionary period, when amateurs came to power. Therefore, the famine in 33 happened because the country was ruled by illiterate people. The communists just hid it. And, let’s say, in Brezhnev’s times the personnel career ladder already clearly existed.

But these structures have become bronzed and outdated; it is high time to liquidate them. There is a central research institute, but there are no copters or communications.

      In fact, if a country needs its own industry and technology, there will be ways to finance those scientists who are useful.

      Even in fundamental science. In the USSR, for example, the president of the USSR Academy of Sciences had a higher salary than the minister. And no one was afraid of it.

              1. “I haven’t seen all the bonuses described in more than one sentence” - the article provides links to the terms of the Central Research Institute contract - just the contract itself. The article analyzes labor functions, salary and amount with the calculation of all due under the terms of the contract with figures.
              Attention to the question - where have you not seen “so that all bonuses are listed” in the article under discussion?
              2. The fact that your friends boast about their work and love it is great, how does this relate to the level of payment for their work?
              If they have a high level of remuneration, then what is the order of the numbers “high” and most importantly, how is this related to the salary indicated on the website of the Ministry of Defense at the Central Research Institute discussed in this article?

And so that we do not arise, they are intensively importing and giving citizenship to nationalities from Central Asia. For some reason, Stalin or Lenin managed to monitor and manage almost every aspect of the country’s development, but our Putin did not. In some places it’s good, in others it’s great, and in others it’s complete zero. There is a feeling that entire areas of state activity are farmed out to intermediaries, such as the Polish gentry in Ukraine who leased out entire villages to the Jews.

    It is incorrect to compare the salary of a taxi driver with salaries at state enterprises, because the driver has a direct connection between the results of his work and his salary. It is optimal when a state-owned enterprise, in addition to salary, should have large bonuses after a positive result of work under the contract. In general, an agreement must be concluded with concrete results and developments.

    I believe this is a problem of a general personnel disaster, especially at all levels of government. Where are the people who understand that the Cold War 2.0 has begun, and if they lose, everything will be taken away from them? China is actively hobbling digital technologies, this should hint at something. Preparedness for the war of the future is not a return to the past, which destroyed the economy of the USSR: more guns, more tanks. Each autonomous swarm of killer UAVs will require very serious computing power, if this is done on today’s domestic chips, the result will be flying tons of batteries or zero autonomy. After all, this is a full-fledged mesh network of adaptive combat units, including fighters, jets, distractions and illusionists (generating a “picture” for enemy radars). Gigabytes must be transmitted over the air per second, using not only radio channels, but also Li-Fi. Distributed computing in a constantly changing configuration will require really serious microelectronics, which does not exist and no one will sell. At the same time, the government that is most actively trying to return the country to the past, not only militarily (the dominance of the KGB and the single party of senile people), hardly looks attractive to talents capable of developing at least something approximate. Even if the bonds break and they start paying engineers like Boeing $10000-15000 when working on critical technologies.
    The age of echeloned air defense and the principle of dominance in 3-4 elements is rapidly ending, since no superpower can really handle this. Global conflict becomes likely, despite nuclear shields and swords. But the elite lives in a world of its own illusions that everything will be overcome at the expense of the people...

    At research institutes, the salary is rather made up of the grant portion. But this has a strong subjective factor - how much the scientist/his management knows how to get grants. And the path to normal salaries is very long. And the income is not bad, but not stable.
    All sorts of honored professors and academicians work until they are 80 years old at very good salaries. Some of them are irreplaceable, cool specialists, but many simply clung to their chairs. Accordingly, young people have to wait a very long time.

    I don’t have exact data on the salary at the research institute, but in good universities in Moscow the salary of a doctor of science is about 200 thousand, this is in total with all sorts of additional payments, St. Petersburg: 150 thousand, in the provinces 100+ thousand.
    It is quite possible to become a Doctor of Science at 35, up to 40 if something prevents this - a change in the topic of research, the need for part-time work due to marital status, etc.
    It turns out that a teacher-researcher reaches a normal income very slowly + and after that he has to work a lot.
    In domestic universities, the workload per teacher is 600-800 hours of classroom work per year, for comparison in all other countries except post-Soviet countries, 300-400 in ordinary universities and 100-200 in universities with a strong scientific school.
    As a result, good, sought-after specialists leave for places where there is a normal balance of life and work.

After all, people, living people, who then, after receiving their wages, go to stores and buy groceries, giving their small income to cashiers, who are almost moneybags in comparison with them. Well, it doesn’t happen that tens of thousands of people receive crumbs, but remain in their jobs. Yes, there are, and always will be, those who work not even for an idea, but because they personally decided so for themselves. But tens, maybe hundreds, thousands of institute employees cannot work well while living from hand to mouth. This means either there are some additional payments, or... Or... I don’t know.

    the author of this text is in no way connected with the system of the Central Military Research Institute. As in the famous film, I feel sorry for the powers

    I served in the military Central Research Institute for 20 years and I’m not offended.
    1. All scientific positions in the military Central Research Institute are occupied either by officers or military pensioners (from the same Central Research Institute). With corresponding military payments. Do you feel the difference? There are practically no civilians in these positions.
    Military Central Research Institutes have always been considered court units - service is much easier than in linear units, but the requirements are different - you have to think a lot.

    The problem is not new and salary (especially recently) is not a key factor here. Remember how it was in the USSR?
    1. The level of education at the school did not depend on the region, there was only one program and the teachers and the vast majority of students coped with it.
    2. Schoolchildren are all different (it was not necessary to drag everyone to the 9th grade), but the hunt was on for the talented ones. All schools de facto held all-Union Olympiads, the winners advanced to the next level. Leading universities conducted their own correspondence courses and visiting Olympiads (ZFTS, for example), participation in which provided some preferences for admission.
    3. In leading universities, students already from the 2nd-3rd year underwent permanent internship in industry and scientific institutions, where they actually prepared and defended their thesis in the presence of leading industry experts. If it was too far, then a hostel was provided (For example, from the 3rd year I lived 3 days in Dolgoprudny and 3 days in Korolev)
    4. Enterprises had the opportunity to send (without exams or competition) their young employees to study at leading universities, subject to assignment upon graduation to this particular enterprise. And in the USSR there was generally a law on 3 years of compulsory work according to distribution.
    6. The enterprises had growth plans (with dates) for young specialists and internships in the place of the immediate superior during his vacation. Specialists quickly moved up the professional and career ladder.
    7. For military-industrial complex enterprises and State corporations, a reservation from conscription into the army was provided (This secured young specialists at the enterprise until at least 27 years of age).
    8. The salary of young employees before the collapse of the USSR was quite sufficient and those who wanted could always earn extra money by performing various R&D.
    After Yeltsin (whose advisers included up to 17 CIA employees) and the first wave of democrats came to power, the systematic destruction of industry and the transformation of the country into a gas station, a market for consumer goods and food began. Many of the negative consequences of the technical policy pursued at that time are still alive:
    1. Formalization of the development process, the dominance of officials and managers, the engineer has ceased to be the leading link in progress.
    2. Personnel policy has come down to the appointment of one’s own person to leadership positions, without the participation of the work collective; previously, appointment required the consent of the Komsomol organization, the Communist Party and a vote of the unit’s work collective.
    3. The gap in the salaries of technical specialists on the one hand, and economists, managers and multiplied directors on the other hand, has increased. Salaries began to differ by more than 10 times. At this time, the best specialists went into business and insurance.

    The question is posed incorrectly. It is necessary to ask from the vertical of power why there are no social differences in salaries. If there are none, then the manager draws zeros to his salary until his hand gets tired. (the slogan “For yourself as for the front” has not been canceled). Then the manager will add a few zeros to the salaries of his associates. For the rest of the workers, he will say something familiar to everyone: “there is no money, but you hold on.” This situation could be corrected by a progressive tax of 50% or more.

    Alas, the method described by the author is far from new and has been tested in many sectors of the economy. For example, in my favorite education. It was under the Union, in the direction of which only the lazy did not spit, that the teacher’s rate was the same throughout the USSR, both in hours and in rubles. Plus for working in rural areas, in difficult climatic conditions, etc. allowances were due. Plus, in the same rural area, it was easier for teachers to solve the housing problem than in the capital of our Motherland. This is the main thing, we won’t mention the little things. So the young people went to cities and villages to arrange their lives. What kind of education are we talking about outside the Moscow Ring Road, if in a number of regions the teacher’s salary is 3000 (three thousand!) rubles. No, not Soviet ones, but current ones. Are there many young teachers and teachers of middle age (from 35 to 50 years old) in the wonderful Zamkadye these days? That's it. All the students have to do is climb the pine tree to catch the Internet and get to the video lesson. And doctors of sciences for 44000 rubles a month have not surprised anyone for a long time.

The problem is the opaque payment system. Every month the salary is really small. But quarterly and annual bonuses are large. In order to comply with the May decrees, they were paid additionally to the required level in bonuses. As for the employees themselves, half of them could be fired and nothing would happen. There, 20 percent actually advance science, another 30 help them, and the remaining 50 read newspapers.

But the allowances were immediately cut))). The result is a catastrophic lack of directors. Many managers leave and create their own private circles, paid, of course!)) The same problem occurs in hospitals and schools. But at the head office of Roscosmos, the average salary is 25. And they shout that at your defense plant (I still work there part-time in personnel), in general the salary in the province should be 30-5 thousand. As a result, many professionals, instead of rocket science, go to private companies, where they are paid really large salaries with less brainwashing.

    The problem is old, and one increase in salary cannot solve it.
    Arguments:
    1. One salary does not solve anything; resources are needed in the form of equipment, materials, samples, information, time, testing grounds.
    2. Even if there is a working sample that is successful in terms of performance characteristics, the insufficient speed of putting it into mass production can neutralize the effect of its creation, while the customer himself, due to his bureaucracy, will be a brake on innovation.
    3. The creation, testing, and implementation of improved products often takes place in the same areas as mass production, which impairs the work on both tasks.
    4. Equalization flourishes in factories and those who know little but sit around a lot will receive more than those who are more competent but value their time; besides, flatterers who agree to solve any problem, even a deceitful one, get promoted more often than others.
    5. There is no exchange of ideas, technologies, catalogs, which prevents the implementation of already successfully mastered technical solutions.
    6. The customer does not have the creative technical potential to reveal the product’s capabilities to the maximum, and the contractor does not have the motivation to search for innovation, confining himself to mass production, solving mainly the problems of logistics rather than quality and development.
    7. Under conditions of pressure from the Customer on the Contractor in order to fulfill the production program numbers, the latter will easily sacrifice everything that prevents the product from moving through production stages. In this situation, an engineer in the military-industrial complex is more likely not the basis of production, but a guide to solving bottlenecks.
    8. Despite all the disadvantages, the system under the SVO came to life, people began to flock to manual labor, but for the development of engineers, other approaches are needed to suit the task.
    9. And with humor, if you imagine that suddenly everyone was told that you can offer your technical ideas, then what will you do with the 10 million army of applicants, most of whose ideas have no other benefit other than ambition, are not feasible or reinvent the wheel ? These 10 million people who want to will have to hire a million technical experts to give a competent answer and a couple of thousand orderlies for those who are especially restless, that is, the system is bad in that it does not produce technical competencies and innovations, but it is also an “industry threshold” without overloading itself yourself, highlighting only expert opinions based on status and reputation.
    So the problem is as old as mammoth shit and cannot be solved only by increasing salaries or grants, as well as a prison regime for “creative engineers.”
    By the way, to get the system to react, you can try the following, if, of course, you are an expert in the field of weapons and at the same time have a good understanding of enterprise economics and management - write to the Ministry of Defense, offer them the creation of a working group in your area and, at best, you will receive an answer that The Moscow Region already has the appropriate structures and institutions, but they don’t know you and are not obligated to create preferences for you.

      Thank you for your attention to this issue and the author’s article.
      According to paragraph 1, the level of salary and its connection with labor results is not the only, but an important factor in the multifactor system of scientific and technological development in the military-industrial complex. The author did not create a quantitative factor model for managing scientific and technological progress in the military-industrial complex and did not even propose a qualitative model (verbally describing the interconnections of subsystems and their mutual influence on the achievement of final results, which was not stated in the article). But it should be noted:
      - among our people it’s just some kind of disease, pointing out that just doing one thing cannot solve the whole problem (for example, if you just start squatting, you won’t immediately become much healthier, from which the conclusion is drawn that you haven’t lived well and there’s nothing to start = nothing needs to be done). The problem is not that this is not so, and indeed in complex systems there are many factors and they do not boil down to one thing, or rather they have different weights and the whole task is to isolate them, give weights and determine the connections between them and mutual influence. The root is that behind the screen of reasoning that this is not the whole solution to the problem, they do not begin to solve the problem and do not take the first step. And this is a life tragedy or a strategy of millions, for example, what depends on me, if I vote, then why should I go vote, etc. With voting, as with religion, the matter is intimate, but in matters of practical life everything is the same. Instead of taking a step, a person begins, well, this is only one step, and in order to get a result you need to take more than one - a logical decision to do nothing because why and I have no influence on anything...
      - When top managers of Sberbank, Gazprom and other state-owned companies are paid by the carload of something, no one raises the question, on the contrary, they explain to us where we will find such qualified managers - everyone will run away and we will lose competitiveness.
      The same disease - the unwillingness to pay subordinates more than their manager and administrator - is right at the level of biological prohibitions.
      As for testing equipment and testing grounds, everything is fine in the part where I work, which does not mean that it is like this everywhere and for everyone.
      P. 2 -3 Was solved in the USSR with the following tools:
      -Most large design bureaus had pilot production facilities that worked in the interests of design bureau orders, now this has become an exception to the rule
      -There were decrees of the Government and the Central Committee of the CPSU and a system of control over the fulfillment of deadlines for the development and launching of production of new products
      -In addition to slogans, there was resource support for the assigned tasks (not everything was perfect)
      point 4 there is a problem
      point 5 there is such a thing, but there is also a problem: how to exchange best practices with competitors?
      p. 6 Ultimately, it all comes down to the quality of technical specifications and its implementation on the one hand; on the other hand, technical specifications are written not by gods, but by people.
      p. 7 Everyone is only interested in fulfilling the plan.
      p. 8 I agree with the disgusting author, but they didn’t start flowing on their own, they started paying people something less than decent
      p.9 I work with this professionally and not with the creative amateur performances of the masses, but with the best in the country or with some of the best. And I responsibly declare that not every solution thought out by a professional is free from known shortcomings.
      The flow of thought and the desire to create something that has no analogues in the world among the masses is cut off by 2 most primitive steps:
      1. Put your idea in writing and sign it
      2. Write what problem the author solves, why what is proposed is better than what is already known, but only known not personally to the author, but in relation to what has been done in the world, done with specifics in measurable parameters, better in geometric and physical parameters.

    It is necessary to take the purchasing power of the ruble and its relation to the green one, for example at the beginning of the 80s, and the salaries of research institute employees of that time and recalculate. Return the tariff schedule. Well, consider the requirements and funding of institutions from what is necessary, and ask how then. The 90s sharply hit the qualifications of research institute personnel. Yesterday I read an article about how Comrade Stalin moved from persuading officials to stop “nepotism” in power to action. I was impressed.

    Yes.
    With such a salary level, it seems that only MOSSAD or NSA officers will be employed in our Central Research Institutes.
    I thought that for our military-industrial complex, the 90s passed like a bad dream.

    They usually don’t hire young people there, as elsewhere (they don’t hire people without experience, you can’t gain experience without work, kids, get a higher education, it’s very useful in life). Although in the defense industry you can understand that they are not hiring, a normal young man will not be able to stand working in an older group for long.

    I don't agree. They are trying to attract a lot of young people. Another thing is that not everyone is eager to stay.

    Well, what you wanted is socialism. All these research and production facilities are forms of management left over from the USSR, almost unchanged. the state already spends trillions on government orders and support for state-owned enterprises - it simply cannot spend more.
    the fact that in the private sector, without any government subsidies, even for unskilled employees, salaries are many times higher - whose fault and whose problem?
    In the same, God forgive me, the USA, the “damned capitalists” of all sorts of Lockheed Martin and others for some reason do not experience problems with the level of wages

      Do not lie. In Russia, the percentage of the budget allocated to science is one of the lowest. In the USA or Israel the highest. That is precisely why they do not experience problems, because if in the USA the State needs Lockheed Martin, then Lockheed needs science. And if science is not needed in Russia, then you can guess why. Because you don't need Lockheed Martins. All you need is money.

    It is necessary to create a contractual payment system (like in football) in key industries

      It’s not like in football. Because science is not football.
      In football, the result is obtained at the end of the match. In science, in a few years. If the direction of work was chosen successfully. Therefore, science is financed either by huge corporations or by the state. What exactly should be included in the contract? Commitment to discover a new law of nature?
      In the USSR, low-level scientific positions had low salaries. For achievements in science, the employee was transferred to a higher salary. The dissertation took several years to write. A bonus was paid for a specific result.....
      But if the State does not need industry, why does it need science? Open your eyes. On the site of industrial zone factories....

    I wonder why this institute still exists? In our country, something like this has gone into oblivion, but here for 30000 rubles. -my respects, most likely they didn’t get around to it, and some funds are allocated, hmm!

    Author, those to whom you addressed this letter will not hear you. They spend more for dinner at a restaurant in Barvikha than the 38 thousand you indicated. And then - on a service A8 with girls in the sauna.
    If you are not happy with something in the system, you need to change the system. You will have a chance to start in March
