The teacher of Nikanor Tolstykh, a schoolboy from Vorkuta, who corrected Vladimir Putin during an open lesson at the Ocean Center, Elena Groznykh, commenting on this, said that his student just could not hide the information error, writes Gazeta. ru.

“I think he's great. The fact that he corrected the chair suggests that the kid can't hide something wrong and, in principle, can't not lie, there is such fearlessness, & ndash; noted the professor. & ndash; Maybe I should have kept quiet. Maybe the guys kept quiet, because they didn't know about the war or were ashamed. Nikanor may have succeeded on an impulse, but it seems to me that there is nothing terrible here. & # 39; 39;

Groznykh added that in the future his student might become a history teacher himself.

“ He took several directions. Maybe it will be something related to communications. He also expressed the opinion that he could go to work as a history teacher at school. He studies a lot on his own with a & # 39; history teacher & # 39 ;, & mdash; said the interlocutor of the portal.

The headmistress of school number 35, where Tolstykh studies, Yulia Ryabtseva, also expressed her opinion on what happened among young people, while there is still a lack of communication with the people with a position in the company and healthy ambitions that have enabled Nikanor to achieve certain results, & ndash; Ryabtseva believes. & ndash; My age would not allow me to do this with the President anymore. And in his youth … well, probably some sort of arrogance. Our boy is, of course, a star, well – that's no ambiguity. He takes an active civic position. But there should be modesty in not correcting Vladimir Vladimirovich too, but we are starting to understand this over the years. & # 39; & # 39;

Earlier, during an open lesson at the Ocean Children & # 39; s Center in Vladivostok, Putin made a reservation and called the Northern War the Seven Years. Tolstoy corrected the president. In response, the head of state thanked the student.

Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Chemistry Alexander Mazhuga expressed the opinion that in order to popularize science it is necessary to create special units in scientific organizations and universities, which will say in a simple and lively form on the achievements and work of scientists. From his point of view, this will also make it easier for higher education institutions to find companies for cooperation.

“ Special structural units should appear in Russian research organizations and leading universities, the main task of which will be to popularize the scientific results obtained, & ndash; of course Mazhuga. & ndash; Promotional information about accomplishments should reach the broadest layers of the population, not just specialists. ''

Such activities are needed in countries that do not have an extensive system of public funding for research, which is why scientists must independently solve the problem of fundraising. At the same time, Mazhuga believes that such an experiment will also be useful for Russian scientists. In particular, popularization will make it possible to interest company representatives in new developments and build a business partnership. In addition, information programs will help educate society on the importance and prestige of scientific activity.

The scientist's initiative was supported by Mikhail Ponomarev, a youth expert. He cited the spectacular and exciting documentaries from National Geographic Channel or Discovery Channel HD as examples. “ Foreign experience in popularizing scientific and technical activities provides a good example to follow, so we should follow the already beaten path '', & ndash; underlined the speaker.

In turn, the specialist of Optic-Vision LLC; Mikhail Misharin, on the other hand, insists that scientists engage directly in science and not waste time talking about their work. And the popularization of scientific achievements, in his opinion, should be dealt with by the media, delving into the problems and describing the new developments in a way accessible to all.

Earlier, Mazhuga said that the developments of Russian scientists have always been in demand in the field of defense and thanks to them the RF Armed Forces receive unique means of protection.

The professor also spoke about Russian development, which will affect world science, & ndash; a synthesized airgel capable of producing light.
