I. M. Kerzhner died

I sincerely advise everyone to gain financial independence and be more free in the entomological space independent of 0.1 or 0.9 rates.

Do you know at least one heteropterologist in the former USSR who would write scientific articles?

I don't know, but I would like them to appear
, for example, an oil magnate started collecting bedbugs, giving grants, and building a library. And you would have forgotten about RAN. Even by 0.9% of the bid.
And what if everyone in ZINA is cut - they will stop studying entomology? If so, it is very sad.

I know many professional people who have never been on an expedition, because they are "not paid"for it. Or they haven't been since the Soviet years, because "Central Asia has become dangerous." I know some young professionals who won't make a move without a grant or handouts. I know those who have grants, dick will invest a penny in the expedition.
Therefore, financial and moral independence is the greatest blessing. Don't think I don't have a special one either... I strive. And if they cut me from my 1.25 at my institute, 0.5 at uni, and 0.25 at PED, I won't quit and I won't starve to death.
Young and talented people have the most problems. I have brains, desire, and a minimum of money. This is the problem of 22-25 year-old scientists. Now really helped many mob_st from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research.

But these characters like to count the money in the pocket of those who "ride abroad". And they stubbornly do not believe that anyone goes on expeditions at their own expense.

This is utopia. None of the magnates will collect the slepnyaks that Kerzhner was engaged in (and this is a huge and difficult family). In addition, as practice shows, individual amateurs are an addition to institute science.

Then the taxonomy will be bent
It is almost not funded
by Enthusiasm multiplied by love for their work, and not by 0.9 rates
In general, talking about rates in the current world is ridiculous

In general, counting on someone other than yourself is stupid

I propose to stop all the fabrications about the financing of science in the poster dedicated to the memory of Kerzhner
In honor of him, I describe a new species and genus. Both are from Mongolia. Beloved, apparently, by both of us.

This is utopia. Slepnyakov, which Kerzhner was engaged in, none of the magnates will collect

I am sure that in the West there are amateurs who collect bedbugs and publish on them.
Scientific professionals working in research institutes are excellent, but the realities of life are such that taxonomy is now in the pen, state optimization is all around, and so on. And unfortunately, to stay in the taxonomy for many, it will take exactly what I'm talking about. Independence from bids. Moral and financial.
