Abstract
The article was prepared as part of a journal discussion on the issue if a science-based policy in the field of science is possible. It contains the author’s opinion on a related question – is a politically justified development of science possible in contemporary Russia? This formulation allows a systematic approach to the problem of the symbiosis of state, as well as of corporate policy and national science. It also makes it possible to substantiate and propose specific ways to solve it rationally in modern conditions.
More detailed arguments on the issues raised can be found in the author’s articles published in the Science Management: Theory and Practice journal in 2022 and 2024 (see the list of references).
