The Public Russian Academy of Natural Sciences was established in Moscow in August 1990. The abbreviation RANS has been adopted for the abbreviated name of the organization. Its address can be found in the article below. At the moment, the academy consists of 24 central sections, more than 100 thematic and regional departments, united in eight blocks of scientific centers.
Compared to the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences is characterized by an easier promotion of scientific work (there is its own register of discoveries, which are confirmed by their own diplomas). Under the auspices of this institution, scientists often have to work, faced with problems in official science. RANS is also actively used to develop alternative directions that are not officially recognized by the world community. In particular, these include alternative medicine.
Charter
According to the Charter, the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (RANS) is a creative scientific association of scientists in the humanities andnatural scientists, designed to serve the development of science, culture and education.
The coat of arms of the organization contains a portrait of Vernadsky V. I., a famous Russian and Soviet scientist. The Academy of Natural Sciences of the Russian Federation has nothing to do with the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Founders, composition
The founders of the academy are the authors of fundamental scientific research. Among them:
- A. M. Prokhorov, mathematician and physicist, creator of the laser, Nobel laureate;
- V. I. Goldansky, physicist and chemist, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences;
- D. S. Likhachev, philologist, academician;
- A. L. Yanshin, geophysicist, academician, founder of the Siberian Branch of the Academy of Sciences;
- G. N. Flerov, physicist, academician.
And also a number of scientific associations and societies, institutes, ministries and departments can be added to this list. The academy has up to 4 thousand members. Among them are Nobel laureates (21 people), members of the Russian Academy of Sciences (124 people), members of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences (30 people).
Powers
In accordance with Russian legislation and in accordance with the Charter of the organization, the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences takes part in the coordination of scientific and scientific and technical research. The state may, on a voluntary basis, involve scientists in conducting examinations and preparing draft decisions. In addition, on the basis of competitions, they are attracted to participate in the development of scientific and scientific-technical projects and programs that are financed from the federal budget.
History
Firstthe president of the academy and its organizer (1990-1992) was a prominent Soviet scientist, geochemist and mineralogist D. A. Mineev. In 1997, an Armenian branch was organized. In 2002, the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences received the authority of a non-governmental organization that has consultative status with the UN ECOSOC. This status provided access to UN documentation and participation in ECOSOC consultations and conferences. But its receipt did not imply the inclusion of the academy in the UN system. The members of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences and the organization itself have not acquired the rights to any immunities or privileges. In 2003, the list of members of the Academy was up to 4 thousand people. In the same year, in the building of Moscow University. M. V. Lomonosov held a general meeting of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. In 2010, its participants were received by the Hall of Columns of the House of the Unions.
The Russian Academy of Natural Sciences includes an autonomous non-profit organization "Research Institute of Atherosclerosis of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences", which at one time was severely criticized in a letter to the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, signed by 540 scientists.
The main organ of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences has become the Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This publication is included in the list of VAK journals under No. 107. It is registered with the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Television and Radio Broadcasting, Press and Mass Media. Since 2001, the publication has been published four times a year. Its circulation is 1 thousand copies.

European Academy
EAEN (European Academy of Natural Sciences) is one of the RANS projects. The public organization, founded in 2002 in Hannover (Germany), has about 35 branches, including in the Russian Federation.
Euro-ECO and Euromedica conferences are held annually by EAEN, in the words of their opponents, “positioned as scientific”. They usually include 2 days of scientific presentations and a 3-day tourist bus ride. In addition, the organization is engaged in publishing activities, it issues patents and diplomas. A significant part of the EAEN staff is mercilessly criticized by various authoritative scientific organizations, in particular the Russian Academy of Sciences. They are classified as representatives of non-academic areas. Most of them are members of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences.
The President of the European Academy is Professor Tyminsky VG, Ph. D., Candidate of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences, one of the organizers and co-founders of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. The Vice-President for Germany is Prof. H. Hahn, Director of the Institute of Immunology (Berlin). He also acts as the president of the medical society named after R. Koch. The vice-president for the CIS is R. G. Melik-Ogandzhanyan, professor, deputy editor of the IANPO journal "Alternative Medicine", president of the Armenian branch of the academy.
Criticism
Academy of Natural Sciences of the Russian Federation(RANS) is subjected to merciless criticism from a number of academicians and members of the RAS. So, Yu. N. Efremov, Yu. S. Osipov, V. L. Ginzburg believe that among the members of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences there are people with insufficient education, who are far from science and who do not have officially recognized jobs. For example, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Kruglyakov E. P. it is stated that the Academy of Natural Sciences of the Russian Federation, "in addition to truly respected and honored scientists," contains "rogues" in its composition.
Academician and President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Osipov Yu. S. noted that some time ago, the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences suggested that “its members”, who are members of “dubious academies”, leave them. But this call was ignored by many.
V. L. Ginzburg, academician and Nobel laureate, believed that the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences is “pseudoscience in its incarnation.” The prominent scientist believed that those "who are not honored to be elected to the RAS" go to this "voluntary organization".
RAEN has also been criticized for instances where memberships are sold without due diligence.
As a result of the ease with which titles are awarded in the RANS, a chain reaction of reproduction of "Academies" has arisen, scientists say. So, in 2005, the Academy of Fundamental Sciences of Organisms was organized, most of whose participants are academicians of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. The institution proclaimed the creation of a "new fundamental science" - organismics, which establishes the basic principle of constructing world objects and revises such modern key concepts,as "matter", "energy", "mass". This science gives them new meaning and new possibilities.
In the scientific world, it is believed that the efforts of members of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences are discrediting the very title of "academician".
Scandals
Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Velikhov E. P. the proposal to run for the RANS was rejected. They were given the condition that the academy should formally answer the question: does it consider it acceptable to support scientists trying to extract energy from a vacuum? According to Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Kruglyakov E. P., the question was not honored with an answer.
In 2006, Vice-President of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences Lagutkin A. V. was presented to Kadyrov R. A. (Deputy Prime Minister, and later the President of the Chechen Republic) a diploma of an honorary member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. For congratulations on being awarded the title "Academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences", the scientist personally arrived in the city of Gudermes. In addition, the event was marked by the presentation of a commemorative silver badge to Kadyrov. In an interview with ESQUIRE magazine, Academician Ginzburg V. L. (now deceased) commented on the event, calling it "sad and funny."
Academician Kapitsa S. P. in a speech on Echo of Moscow, he also gave his comments, saying that he personally actively objected to the acceptance of R. A. Kadyrov. in RAN. He also said that, to the best of his knowledge, the decision was made under a lot of pressure.
In 2006, the medal of the Academy "For outstanding scientific achievements in the field of noospheric technologies" was awarded to the infamous charlatan Levashov N. V.
Russian Academy of Natural Sciences: reviews
A whole series of authoritativesources emphasize that there are huge differences between the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences and the Russian Academy of Sciences. They stipulate that with the similarity of the name, the difference between organizations may seem insignificant to some only at first glance. In fact, it is fundamental - this is the difference between public and scientific organizations.
The “pseudo-scientific”, according to users, ideas of some members of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences are sharply ridiculed on the Web:
- Creation of the first torsion bar on a commercial basis (A. A. Akimov, G. I. Shipov).
- Creation of the "occult" theory of the wave genome (P. P. Garyaev). Users who consider themselves involved in true science reproach its author for esoteric studies - he allegedly “eats up” in the field of healing.
- Attempts to resurrect the dead (Grabovoi G. P.). The "scientist" is also known for being convicted of fraud and sentenced to imprisonment (8 years).
- Attempts to assert that the inhabitants of the North American continent 80 thousand years ago knew the Russian spoken language and writing (Chudinov V. A.). The author of the idea managed to read Russian inscriptions on the Moon, on the bottom of the ocean, on the Sun, on Mars, and even on the death mask of the great Pushkin. The "researcher", according to reviews, is actively traveling around with tours of universities and academies.
- Attempts to create a panacea for all kinds of oncological diseases (Kutushov M. V.).
- Creation of an information-energy teaching that allows for mass miracle healing using portraits of a healer(Konovalov S. S.).
- Creating a pseudo-scientific astrological system of "structural horoscope", the statement that astrology is a science (Kvasha G. S.).
There are statements on the Net that it is very easy to get the title of academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, therefore, among its members, according to the authors of the reviews, there are a large number of "obscurantists" who were not allowed into the Russian Academy of Sciences. In fairness, the authors of the reviews nevertheless specify that “decent scientists” are also members of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. But mostly those who “do not hesitate to relate to any near-scientific get-together” join the organization. RANS is “a diagnosis,” some users say, and for a reputation in the scientific world, in their opinion, it’s better to “be a janitor, wave a broom or collect bottles” than enroll in academicians of the RANS.
According to the authors of the reviews, some honorary members of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences do not even suspect that they are members of this organization. They were introduced into the composition in absentia for advertising. The bad thing, some users believe, is that the majority of the population of the Russian Federation does not understand "all these academies." The RANS is often perceived as a decent scientific organization. Or in general, many confuse it with the RAS. Unfortunately, users write, this reduces the value of real science in the eyes of compatriots and undermines the authority of its representatives. Some netizens believe that the very existence of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences scandalizes Russian society. Many people are against calling this organization an academy and its members enjoying the status of academicians, as it misleads people.
Their opponents object that in addition to authoritative state academies, privately creating public academies is a world practice. Scientists have a right to this. And if in Russia they are not yet accustomed to this, this is not a reason to deny the right to be considered academicians to members of public academies of sciences. Many people emphasize that the RANS is not recognized as a pseudoscientific organization. The fact that the RAS recognized as pseudoscientific the works of some members of the scandalous academy is not a reason to consider the entire organization as pseudoscientific. The RANS, the authors of the reviews note, consists of academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as well as other branch state academies. This needs to be considered.
