Medina was called to the dissertation Council of the Ural Federal University to discuss whether what he wrote, his doctoral dissertation.
Medina said that:
first, he wrote it not in order to obtain a degree. It is recognized that this is not the thesis as they are written, including for this purpose.
second, written text has the objective of popularization of history. Thus, once again confirmed that the written thesis is not. Popular scientific literature, is generally “to another shelf. In the thesis an important novelty, which newspope in principle can not be.
third, Medinsky said at the session of dissertation Council will not come. That is quite scientific and popular scientist explained to the congregation that he Nasr… well, he wanted to spit on this Board, in his opinion, as well as on the scientific community as a whole.
Medina was defended at the Russian state social University in 2011. This office was one of Russia’s largest factory of fake theses. Now shut up shop, and RSSU rector, Lydia Fedyakina fired after she found that her own thesis is entirely stolen.
Medina’s Thesis is extracts from his “Myths about Russia”. It’s not even reading. This genre is called pseudohistory. In this vein, do Fomenko and Nosovsky (“New chronology”), Murat Agca (“steppe Turkic civilization as the basis of European civilization and culture”), Yury Mukhin (cave Stalinism, multiplied by the same anti-Semitism).
Ideas Medina that Russia has always and everywhere been ahead of Europe that Russia was not drinking, obscurantism and slavery, science and democracy, on the contrary, was always turn the discussion of his work in the activity that real scientists are usually neglected, because of disgust. I well remember the expression of Yuri Sergeevich Pivovarov, when in 1992 it was offered to the magazine “Frontiers”, which I then edited, to explain to people why the “New chronology” – pseudoscience. There was a feeling that I proposed a wonderful historian to start a scientific debate with a drunk beggar in the underpass.
However, the dissertation Council of the Ural Federal University will have in this foul-smelling substance called “texts Medina” to dig and to understand. The scientific community even in the most remote times kept nuggets of autonomy and sometimes voice in spite of the authorities.
there are Times that it is now very deaf and rotten, but still not the same as, for example, eight or six decades ago. The risk historians, Urfu, if not going into an ideological debate, let’s just say that Medina wrote, does not carry scientific novelty?
that is, not speaking the whole truth, tell her a small part, enough to call a spade a spade. That Medina is not a scientist and not a historian. And what will happen? They will be shot? Expelled from work? Themselves will be deprived of a degree? Disbanded their Board?
Obviously, nothing above them will not happen. The biggest nightmare – a call from Moscow and conversation with someone from the leadership Council with fellow Kholmanskikh of Uralvagonzavod, which currently employs the representative of Putin in the Urals. Yes, it is unpleasant and disgusting, but certainly not fatal. It’s a lot less damage than one that inevitably will come when scientists will cover their names, pseudo-historian, and confirm his “scientific status”.
