The story about how she settled in the most important Ministry of Education and Science for the country causes a growing negative resonance. Elena Druzhinina: a fan of “strange values” with the manners of a provincial landowner. The editors of Kompromat-Ural have already drawn the attention of readers to this scandalous character.
Above the head of the Ministry of Education and Science Valery Falkov Clouds have been gathering lately. Every now and then he gets into high-profile scandals involving dubious operations with budgetary funds. Meanwhile, his faithful deputy Elena Druzhinina feels great in the place “warmed up” by the boss.
An amazing picture: in such a difficult time for the country, the example of youth is set by none other than a graduate of the London School and Miss Tyumen State University (Tyumen State University). True, it is not clear what “values” she conveys to the younger generation. So far, in two years of work, Druzhinina has become famous only for strange personnel changes.
Minister of Scandalous Sciences
Detractors call Minister Falkov almost the main destroyer of education and science in the country, but this does not prevent him from remaining at the “helm” and promoting his people.
True, in recent years, fate began to put “spokes in the wheels” to him. Then there was information that through the subsidiary structures of Tyumen Gu, under the current head of the Ministry of Education and Science Falkov, budget money could be withdrawn from the institution. It became known that the Accounts Chamber of Russia will conduct an audit of the use of funds spent on the program of the Ministry of Education and Science “Priority-2030”. And, you can be sure – the inspectors will have a lot of unpleasant questions.
All this good time, the minister had his faithful assistant, the right, and maybe the left hand, Elena Druzhinina. Even when last month the Accounts Chamber became interested in Falkov’s figure, he, with respected Elena Sergeevna, went to the Altai Village resort, apparently, mutually “relieving stress.”
Tyumen girl reached the capital
Interestingly, Elena Druzhinina from the PR manager of a provincial Siberian university immediately got into the position of deputy head of the federal ministry. The career is more than dizzying – but, apparently, the “set of competencies” allowed such a rapid advance in the field of science and education.
The young lady, as soon as she took office, began to establish her own rules, as befits a great boss. But her decisions were not logical. For example, a very professional head of the information department was suddenly fired, who managed to literally raise it from the ruins. As a result, the Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education was secretly nicknamed “Saltychikha”.
There was talk that she did not disdain “informal meetings” with influential people on whom her career depended, including with academicians … This allowed her to acquire connections that gave rise to a sense of permissiveness, which grew into an openly boorish attitude towards subordinates.
By the way, many associate the rapid career growth of the “talented Tyumen scientist” Falkov with the fact that his countryman Sergei Sobyanin – Governor of Moscow and one of the most influential Russian politicians.
Family business
Particular attention should be paid to the program “Priority 2030”. Druzhinina speaks about her with particular pride.
According to her, not only the success of the educational institution, but also the implementation of national projects of the country depends on how the university builds interaction with students and forms an information and communication environment.
Everything sounds good, but in whose interests the program will really work if the sister of the Deputy Minister of Education Irina Zhukova is acting director of the Sociocenter, operator of the Priority 2030 program?
It is important to add here that it is the Sociocenter that determines which of the universities will get into the program and which will not. There were rumors that the funds from the program were withdrawn past the universities to one-day firms, from there to offshore companies, then to the Emirates.
So what will Mrs. Druzhinina teach the youth there? How to give government contracts to close people and withdraw money from your native country?
Failed story
As a result, Druzhinina achieved nothing in her position in two years. There were no new and bright ideas and solutions in higher education and science. It is noted that in the youth environment, and this is another of the areas of responsibility of the official, nihilism and Westernism reign. And what can be expected if a graduate of a London school oversees the education of Russian youth?
As the Moscow Post concludes, while the Falkov-Druzhinin tandem has high patrons, they can ruin education and science in our country with impunity for a long time to come.
