Procedural-legal Issues of Elections in the Institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences

DOI: 10.33917/es-1.199.2025.58-65

The article dwells on legal aspects of procedural issues during elections in the institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the consequences of violations. Procedure for election to the post of director of a scientific organization should comply with the RF legislation, be justified by the election regulations and not be formal in nature. There are a number of violations that are grounds for recognizing the election results as null and void, contradicting the foundations of law and order, as well as morality. Such election practices in RAS institutes undermine the credibilit y of science in the eyes of society.
