Abstract
As a result of the economic and structural-legal transformations of Russian science, an internal conflict is forming in the mind of an individual researcher between the creative and the practical. These two principles are organically presented in everyone’s consciousness, but now they also manifest themselves in teams of scientists in the form of diametrically opposed basic aspirations of researchers, priorities of choice, basic values, interests and style of work, which is revealed in sociological and scientometric analysis. Attempts of Russian science and technology policy subjects to shift the boundary between these principles in the minds of every Russian scientist toward applied problems and economic innovation is, as the history of our country shows, an achievable but dangerous undertaking. The choice – to engage in applied development or fundamental science – should probably be given to the researcher, but not by breaking his interests and priorities directly at his workplace in a historically established scientific institution. For implementation of the state task it is necessary to create an alternative in one or another organizational form – the creation of technological laboratories, innovation centers, scientific and educational complexes, etc. There is a need fora modern branch of applied science in the country. In this case, the complex personal choice may well be realized and implemented by the researcher himself without external destructive administrative pressure.
