Falkov: all doctors and candidates of sciences at universities received reservations from mobilization

All university professors with advanced degrees received a reprieve from mobilization. This was stated by the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Valery Falkov.

At a meeting of the Federation Council Committee on Science, Education and Culture, he explained that there is a legal reservation mechanism. According to Falkov, universities took advantage of it better than scientific organizations.

The minister said that 120 universities were heard during the week, and none of them had problems with the delay.

“Everyone took advantage, especially in advance, of the booking institute, already qualified personnel, all candidates and doctors of science were definitely protected,” Falkov emphasized. He admitted that there is no need to introduce any special measures for booking.

Now the authorities are considering a legislative initiative to introduce a deferment or exemption from conscription of candidates and doctors of sciences in order to preserve the scientific potential of the country.
