Only
daring thinkers have made the main contribution to science. Notwithstanding
this, the contemporary heavy administration in the system of modern scientific
education and scientific research still suppresses everyone who wishes
to develop new and productive ideas. That is why the freedom of scientific
work and the free initiative of original studies should undeniably
be defended, because only these factors were and will be the most productive
sources of great progress of Science.
