Moscow Government Provides Grants

Today, at the ceremonial delivery in the Polytechnical Museum, the Soros teachers, students, post-graduate students, and professors have received their individual grants.

Last year George Soros ceased the financial support of natural sciences inside the program of individual grants. It is owing to the leaders of the Soros program and the deputies of Moscow Municipal Duma that Moscow government alloted a financial support to the Soros laureates due to a particular item in the budget. It is worth while emphasizing that active assistance and benevolence were revealed on behalf of Yuri Luhzkov, the mayor of Moscow.

The meeting in the Polytechnical Museum was not a mere official arrangement. There were many outstanding presentations. Among these, I could distinguish the talk delivered by Simon Shnol devoted to the history of charity in Russia. A paradoxical remark sounded that there used to be a unique tradition to support sciences by private employers. The first person to begin charity activity in science, according to the speaker, was Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna. The names of Prince Alexander of Oldenburg, General Shaniavskij, the brothers Alexander and Innokentij Sibiriakov were also mentioned.

Peculiar words were adressed to Christofor Ledentsov, one of the richest Russian manufacturers in the 19th century. He bequested the whole fortune to the needs of Education and Science, his fortune exceeding the donations of Russian owner Nobel. In his testament Christofor Ledentsov demanded that no scientific organization be given his name. To tell the truth, this part of the testament was broken and the society organized was called after the name of Ledentsov. The mentioned society was prospering until the revolution when it was closed by Bolshevists.
