The President of the Russian Academy of Sciences promised no changing the name of the academy to the State Academy of Sciences would happen in the nearest future.
      
      According to new amendments to the law “On science”, all academies, which have state status, should be renamed to “state academies”. In fact, the question is legal documents’ terminology and nothing else. “No one is going to rename the Russian Academy of Sciences”, said the President.
      
      RAS – Russian Academy of Sciences – is a famous brand, which scientists all over the world know and respect, says the vice-president. It would be a mistake to make any changes.
