According to Pinigin, Trubnikov borrowed almost half of his thesis from the Ph.D. theses of the physicists Andrey Butenko and Viktor Karpinsky. Trubnikov was a scientific co-supervisor for each of them, both dissertations were defended on October 11, 2012. Trubnikov himself defended himself on November 14 of the same year. Andrey Butenko and Viktor Karpinsky told Gazeta.Ru that they had no claims against Trubnikov and denied all Pinigin's accusations. “I can only call the “games” around Trubnikov’s dissertation very dirty and unworthy,” Butenko said.
Pinigin's statement was also received by members of the July 1 Club, an informal community of academicians and corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the free network society Dissernet reported. In letters to members of the July 1 club, Pinigin signed as an activist in the Yakut branch of Dissernet. Dissernet claims that they do not have such an activist.
Pinigin explained to RBC that he collaborated with the Dissernet activist in Yakutia, whose name he did not name, and that is why he signed it that way. At the same time, he questions the scientific novelty of three of the six provisions of the dissertation of the Deputy Minister. "I discovered these gross violations literally in half a day of research, about a couple of days after the meeting of the presidium of the VAK on the Medinsky case, where Trubnikov assured everyone that he had seen some elusive documents from Medinsky’s personal file, ”Pinigin told RBC.
Total check
Dissernet has no comments on Trubnikov's work. “An express analysis of Trubnikov’s dissertation showed, as far as it was possible to find out in a couple of hours that we had for this, that there is normal co-authorship, which is duly declared,” Andrey Zayakin, co-founder of Dissernet, told RBC.
A member of the July 1 club, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, physicist Vadim Brazhkin, told RBC that he had studied Pinigin's claims and believed that they were groundless. “It's just a team effort. Trubnikov and his comrades worked together and prepared descriptions of their work together, and then they all used these descriptions in their works together, but Trubnikov's colleagues defended themselves a little earlier than he did, ”he noted.
Doctor historical sciences Vasilyeva wants to be sure of the scientific cleanliness of all her subordinates, an interlocutor in the department told RBC. If plagiarism is found in the works of the leaders of the ministry, who cannot be deprived of their degree due to the limitation of protection (the period in which you can challenge the receipt of a degree is ten years), they will be fired from the Ministry of Education and Science, he stressed.
There are 24 officials of this level in the ministry. It is known that 13 of them have academic degrees. “Such a mass inspection within the department will be carried out for the first time,” the former Deputy Minister of Education and Science, Rector of the Moscow City Pedagogical University Igor Remorenko.
Revenge of the "disserdorers"
Pinigin's letter aims to denigrate Trubnikov in the eyes of the minister, Andrey Zayakin believes. According to him, Trubnikov made key changes to the draft regulation on expert councils of the Higher Attestation Commission (HAC) and to the draft amendments to the regulation on awarding academic degrees, which put an end to the "dissertation business", after which a statement appeared about depriving the academic degree of the Trubnikov, and with the mention of "Dissernet".
Zayakin notes that in a letter sent to the July 1 club, Pinigin points out that Trubnikov supported the Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky, the scandal surrounding his doctoral dissertation on whose history from the end of 2016 to the end of 2017, but this is not so. “Trubnikov's signature is not on any document that was held at the Higher Attestation Commission in the Medinsky case. The order of Vasilyeva herself - it seems that this was the only such order personally signed by the minister in a year. Usually they are signed by Trubnikov. So his behavior was exactly the opposite: he distanced himself from Medinsky as much as possible, ”Zayakin points out.
Trubnikov confirmed to RBC that he was working on draft amendments to the regulations on expert councils and the award of academic degrees. “We wanted to improve the reputation of the Higher Attestation Commission and dissertation councils of universities. Yes, I amended dissertation Council cannot consider the work for which he issued degree, in case there were comments to it. We have also simplified the procedure for filing an application for deprivation of academic degrees. Now anyone can challenge the degree because of plagiarism, and not just a specialized specialist, ”said the Deputy Minister of RBC.

Education Minister Olga Vasilyeva decided to fight hard against plagiarism in dissertations of the ministry's leadership. She stated this at a large weekly meeting of the leadership of the department. The reason Vasilyeva turned to this topic was the “signal” received at the ministry about possible plagiarism in the doctoral work of one of her most prominent and prominent deputies.
We are talking about Academician Grigory Trubnikov, who oversees the scientific field.
A well-known physicist, an expert in accelerator physics, he was appointed to this position almost a year ago, on January 25, 2017, and his appointment was widely supported in the scientific community.
Trubnikov defended his doctoral thesis on the topic "Relativistic heavy ion synchrotron Nuclotron in the NICA accelerator complex" on November 14, 2012 in the Discussion Council D047.01.03 at the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna.
From 2014, before being appointed to the ministry, Trubnikov served as JINR Vice-Director.
According to a certain applicant signed by Viktor Pinigin from Yakutia, the work of the Deputy Minister contains large-scale incorrect borrowings from two candidate theses defended at JINR just a month earlier, in October 2012. The authors of these papers were Viktor Karpinsky (“Power supply and energy evacuation systems in high-speed superconducting synchrotrons”) and Andrey (Acceleration of beams of heavy ions with a mass number of more than 100 in the Nuclotron superconducting synchrotron), for whom Trubnikov himself was the supervisor.
Since 2009, Trubnikov has been the head of the Nuclotron-NICA project. NICA (Nuclotron based Ion Collider fAcility) is a new accelerator complex, which is being created at the JINR to study the properties of dense baryonic matter. This project was selected from 28 megascience project proposals in Russia.
300 scientists from 70 institutes in 32 countries of the world participate in the preparation and implementation of the NICA project.
"Gazeta.Ru" got acquainted with the text of Trubnikov's dissertation, at the end of which he expresses gratitude to Butenko and Karpinsky as direct participants and co-authors of joint works.
In three papers, indeed, there are identical fragments of text, mainly of a technical nature, where there is a description of the experimental setup or the order of the experiment, as well as drawings.
On the left (text highlighted in yellow) an excerpt from the thesis of G. V. Trubnikov, on the right (text highlighted in green) - Karpinsky V.N.
that in the text of Trubnikov's dissertation, borrowings from the works of Butenko and Karpinsky amount to 43%,
and on this basis he should be deprived of his doctorate.
Trubnikov himself is confident in his work and only regrets the time it will take now for the trial. “I am 300% sure of my work, I have no doubt that my contribution was decisive, I was the supervisor of both colleagues,” the deputy minister told Gazeta.Ru. - These were the four happiest years of my life, when I was sitting in shifts, as they say, on a beam. And when a huge experiment was carried out and the result was obtained, naturally, we had many internal reports that we did not publish, and therefore their texts coincide in our works textually. By the way, to those guys who are not indifferent to my person, I will inform you,
Common words
A similar position is shared by Butenko and Karpinsky themselves.
“I have only the most positive impressions from working with Grigory Vladimirovich. At that time, he was the head of the Nuclotron-M project, and he acted not only as a leader, but also as an ideologist. I attended his dissertation and have no complaints about it. This is completely normal practice.
when one and the same installation, technology, implementation of the experiment is described in one word,
JINR employee Viktor Karpinsky told Gazeta.Ru. - Of course, there was a personal contribution of each of the participants, but the wording and phrases were polished together by us so that they sounded right from a technical point of view. I defended myself on the power supply systems of the superconducting accelerator, Andrey Butenko did the same, only with the vacuum system of the Nuclotron. Grigory Trubnikov, in addition to managing our project, was involved in stochastic cooling. His work became the final report on the work of the whole team, when the accelerator reached a new level of work. In general, he was one of the leaders, inspirers, thanks to whom the NICA project took place. And thanks to this, a collider is already being built behind my back, people are running and pouring concrete, and the collider itself should be launched in 2020.”
Butenko agrees with his colleague. “For a long period of time (more than five years), one of the key people at the Nuclotron accelerator complex at VBLHEP JINR was Grigory Trubnikov. Significant results were obtained during that period of time, which was reflected in his doctoral dissertation,” explains Butenko, Head of the Accelerator Department of the Laboratory of High Energy Physics at JINR. - It is quite natural that it used some materials from Ph.D. dissertations - Karpinsky and mine. All the complex tasks and decisions submitted for defense were taken with the direct participation of Trubnikov, which makes it possible to call the discussed achievements his own as well.
I can only call the “games” around Trubnikov’s dissertation very dirty and unworthy.”
According to the physicist Andrey Rostovtsev, the founder of the Dissernet community, initially, the community practically did not consider works in the field of physics, since borrowing descriptions of experiments, methods or installations is a common thing in them.
“According to the rules of the international organization COPE, dealing with academic ethics, it is necessary to divide the text into an introductory part, a general formulation of the question, results, their discussion and conclusions. Coincidences are allowed in the formulation of the question, coincidences are not allowed in the discussion of the results, and in general they are not allowed in the conclusions, ”said Rostovtsev. - Why should the same experiment be described differently if several people were involved in it? For this reason, Dissernet paints not in color, but in gray, the sections called the introduction.
Mysterious Yakut
Dissernet suggested that there was no Yakut applicant by the name of Pinigin, and his statement was an attempt to settle scores with Trubnikov for his position in the ministry, which he occupies precisely on the issue of combating dissertation factories. By the way, "Pinigin" sent a letter about Trubnikov's dissertation to members of the authoritative club of scientists "July 1", already calling himself an activist of the Yakut branch of "Dissernet", which does not exist.
It is known that Trubnikov actively advocated the rotation expert advice VAK and for new amendments to the Regulations on the award of academic degrees. According to one of them, which has already passed, dissertations cannot be sent for review to the same council where the original degree was awarded.
It turned out that the ZoLUS (application for deprivation of a scientific degree) against Trubnikov copied the structure of the ZoLUS of Dissernet itself, which had previously been sent to the Discussion Council of FSUE Standardinform, which, after many exposures of false dissertations, was closed by order of the Ministry of Education and Science in December 2017.
"Gazeta.Ru", then its deputy chairman Mikhail Lomakin (today continuing to sit in the VAK) promised to sue journalists for trying to get into a meeting of the dissident council.
The meeting at the ministry took place on January 9 in the absence of Trubnikov himself, who was on vacation that day. Starting from the situation with Trubnikov, Vasilyeva demanded to check the candidate and doctoral dissertations of the entire leadership of the ministry - from deputy ministers to deputy directors of the department.
The decision to check the leadership of the Ministry of Education for plagiarism in dissertations, regardless of the statute of limitations and positions, may pose another question to Vasilyeva -
whether it is also necessary to conduct a check among the rectors - six dozen of them, according to Dissernet, used incorrect borrowings in their dissertations.
“The minister made it clear that plagiarism in dissertations is unacceptable, and even if a person cannot be deprived of a degree due to prescription, then we will talk about a loss of confidence,” a source in the ministry told Gazeta.Ru. According to him, the minister wants Trubnikov to go through the standard procedure for reviewing his dissertation through the Higher Attestation Commission and be able to prove the inconsistency of the charges, otherwise he should be deprived of his doctoral degree. Trubnikov himself says that he is ready to go through all the procedures to prove his case.
The Ministry of Education and Science did not officially comment on the situation, confirming that Deputy Minister Trubnikov was on vacation.
