What do you mean by that?" Chet things have been really bad lately..
I was just wondering how my message could be interpreted to write such a thing. smile.gif



You would rather answer a completely non-rhetorical question - do you know any specialists who do not think about money from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus?



I don't think about money. If, of course, I can be called a specialist :D

Oddly enough, we (and many of our colleagues) are also in the provinces. We need 10-12 thousand rubles a month. Let at least one would-be "specialist" from Europe work for such money and achieve at least 10% of our results.

Don't think of yourself as something exceptional. In the West, there are amazing enthusiasts who organize amazing expeditions and make great publications at their own expense. And calling them "would-be specialists" is just plain ugly.
One of those people - Vlfgang ten Hagen.

Here we are not talking about "amazing amateurs", but about the "cost - effectiveness" criterion. Probably, Baron Rothschild or Prince Turati, not to mention the Grand Duke of N. N., were even more "amazing" in terms of the amount of personal investment in entomology. Does Ten Hagen organize his own expeditions at a yield of 10 thousand rubles per month? And what is its effectiveness as a specialist - if we take the number of taxa described by it and put them in synonyms? - although this is not done immediately, it is important how quickly and how easy it is to show that the description is not valid.
