The order of dismissal director GEOKHI Galimov was signed on Monday, 13 April, but in the public domain, this information was only towards the end of the week. “The order was completely unexpected for us. And most importantly, it was not the reason for the dismissal, simply stated that the Fano made such a decision”, – said the acting director Vladimir Vernadsky Institute batters.

He said the tensions between Galimovym and Fano began in 2013, when the scandal broke with the research vessel “Akademik Boris Petrov”.

After that, the official website of Geochemistry was published Galimov an open letter in which he harshly criticized the work of Fano.

“Fano Imagine yourself supervisory organization dedicated to an iron hand to bring” order “in the Academy of Sciences. Activities Fano reduced to the continuous demands of reporting explanation. No attempt was minimal help from Fano does not proceed. Fano practically disorganize the work” – wrote Galimov.

At the time of writing the material Fano has not commented on the dismissal Galimov and meet the protest against the decision by the rest of the staff Geochemistry.
   
 Discussion of a major reform of the RAS with the filing of the Ministry of Education began in the summer of 2013.
