In Moscow, there is now a real, hunt for science, to be more exact for scientists- heads. 

Recently, the head of microbiology sub-faculty of Russian State Medical University (former Second Moscow 

Medical Institute), V.Korshunov was killed. 

The body of the killed professor with cranial injury was found on Friday, at 8.15 (Moscow time) in the 

entrance of the house in Academician Bakulev Street, in Southwest Administrative District, where the 

56-year-old scientist lived. 

The police immediately arrived to the spot. Forensic medical experts found out that the scientist died 8 hours 

earlier. Afterwards, proceedings were instituted. 

It was already third death of a scientist, that witnessed it hardly could be a coincidence. Only within this 

January, Russian Academy of Science lost two scientists with world name v academician I.Glebov 

(who died as a result of a bandit attack in St Petersburg) and Corresponding Member of the Academy of 

Science A.Brushlinski (who was killed in Moscow). 

So, what is happening? At first, one was fighting against pseudo-science, than against brain drain, and now 

against what will we fight? 

This scientist has probably invented a vaccine protecting from any biological arm, or quite the contrary

created such an arm, like Brushlinski who suffered for his creation. 

Russian science seems to literally die out. Academic degree is becoming too dangerous for its possessors.
