Cunick: The scientist told a stunning story. Everyone who studies in postgraduate studies has heard of such an institution as the VAK - the Higher Assessment Commission. It affirms all kinds of educational standards in science and checks candidate and doctoral studies on "left".

cunick: In the years of the USSR, the abbreviation was the same, but the commission was called not "higher", but "all-Union". And there was, in those transitional years, one graduate student who, when he heard that the commission would be renamed. He thought it was - all-Union, it will be (probably) - Russian. What to write on documents? He called the reception room to clarify. Next conversation: -Good morning, I was a graduate student wanted to ask one thing. Did it really become cancer?

Cunick: We stand in this position.
