- automation equipment for power plants and complexes;
- training in the profile is carried out on the basis of the department “Nuclear Power Plants and Renewable Energy Sources” with a rich tradition of producing specialists for the nuclear industry and innovative developments in the field of renewable energy sources.
- The Sverdlovsk region has enormous industrial potential, but is provided with only 5% of its own energy potential (analogous to Japan);
- in addition to classical renewable energy sources (wind, hydro, solar energy), bioenergy technologies, heat pumps, the use of household and industrial waste, the production of alcohol-gasoline mixtures, the use of radioisotope products and fuel cells are studied in depth.
A series of scandals, after which rumors about Koksharov’s resignation appeared, were associated with a number of lectures, including the author of the election program of oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov, a liberal intellectual, editor-in-chief of Echo of Moscow, EU Ambassador to Moscow and the head of the German Foreign Ministry. The main message: Russia may be a good country, but it is unsuitable for the development of new technologies, should not be independent, should throw its imperial ambitions aside, and at the same time return Crimea to Ukraine. Ural social activists were outraged by this series of anti-Russian lectures and spoke about this situation at the ONF conference in Moscow.
"As a citizen, I am against the filter of topics and speakers on discussion platforms, including state universities. But when there are protests one after another against the Russian president, for the Ukrainian junta, and there are no alternative speakers, this is wrong. Everything is simple: different points of view must be presented so that young people can evaluate the quality of presentation of this or that historical fact. At a state university, tilting to one side is strictly unacceptable, because, excuse me, these universities are supported by budget funds", noted in a conversation with Nakanune.RU co-chairman of the ONF Central Headquarters, Secretary of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation Alexander Brechalov.
Another social activist Chairman of the Commission for the Harmonization of Interethnic and Interreligious Relations of the RF OP Iosif Diskin noted that the decision-making on the fact of holding anti-Russian lectures at UrFU - " this is a matter for the academic council of the relevant university, this is their principled position".
After a wave of criticism against the university and the rector from the media, social activists, including from Moscow, it seemed that the situation began to improve - Viktor Koksharov invited the country’s main “Afghan” and an active participant in the patriotic movement Franz Klintsevich to read regularly, announced a number of events in in preparation for the 70th anniversary of the Victory, as well as about the real instillation of patriotism among students. However, after a short time, the university began to talk again about the fact that. Some observers suggest that such a “swing” was associated with uncertainty in the fate of the rector, and a return to liberal propaganda with the confidence that “life is getting better” and “everything has been decided up there.” However, we must not forget that, who represented the last lecturer - Mikhail Shvydkoy. Naturally, all this happens not without the knowledge, but even with the approval of Viktor Koksharov. The university has still not admitted that anti-Crimean and anti-Russian lectures are not very appropriate at a federal university. Apparently, this is precisely the “principled position of the academic council” or there is no such position at all.
Returning to the family of the first president, it is worth remembering one more fact - despite the general confrontation between Russia and the West, Yeltsin’s relatives are revered and welcomed in countries, even those professing openly Russophobic views. For example, just a month ago, the executive director of the Yeltsin Foundation, Alexander Drozdov, visited Tallinn, where he presented letters of gratitude from Naina Yeltsina to several people who took the most active part in the opening of the bas-relief in honor of Boris Yeltsin in 2013, including a member of parliament and former minister. The bas-relief says that it was installed in memory of Boris Yeltsin, who contributed to the “peaceful restoration of Estonia’s independence,” that is, saved it from the bonds of the bloody Soviets. Let us note that this happened in the same Tallinn, where in recent years the entry of, for example, academician Valery Tishkov, actor Ivan Okhlobystin, chairman of the public council under the Ministry of Defense Igor Korotchenko was banned, and ex-member of the European Parliament Julieto Chiesa was imprisoned and expelled from the country for attempt to perform at round table with a pro-Russian position. And in the same Tallinn where they decided.
A month later, Drozdov received the French Order of Merit. The same award was received by one of the co-organizers of the “History of Stalinism”, the head of the Federal Archive. Sergey Mironenko. At the same time, relations between Russia and France, frankly speaking, are not particularly good.
The president's daughter Tatyana Yumasheva has Austrian citizenship along with her husband. They were able to obtain citizenship in 2009 under the guarantee of the management of the Canadian automobile concern Magna for their major “contribution to the development of the Austrian automotive industry.” The Russian public, however, had two questions: how many brands of Austrian cars can the reader remember, and why are Canadian businessmen vouching for the daughter of the late ex-president to the Austrian authorities? It is clear that the questions are rhetorical.
Everything falls into place if we remember that the Magna concern has been closely associated with the “young reformers” since the early 1990s, in particular with Anatoly Chubais and the business empire of Yumashev’s son-in-law Oleg Deripaska. It is also no secret that Magna’s board of directors includes prominent Western politicians, including members of the Bildeberg Club.
It remains to be stated that Boris Yeltsin’s family retains its influence not only in Russia, but also in the ranks of the Western business and political elite. And in this sense, the attempt to keep one of the largest universities in the country with loyal leaders and government funding in their orbit of influence seems to them to be as real as it is justified.
