苏联解体使其所有机构处境岌岌可危。其中之一就是迄今世界最大的光学研究所——圣彼得堡国家光学研究所。它会继续存在吗?去年秋天我在那儿呆了两个星期,了解我所能了解的一切,我发现许多不确定性,但很少损害。然而到今年1月我写本文时,那儿的人们已开始受到伤害。该所一直属于国防工业部,而该部已被取消,其权力正逐步移交给俄罗斯共和国新的工业部,但后者的目标和预算尚未确定,而且可能来不及及时确定,难以避免重大混乱和损失。去年的日子就不好过。由于莫斯科的部委一片混乱,各种活动和报告的基础——年度计划尚未批准,从一开始情形就不妙,没有那个计 The disintegration of the Soviet Union put all its institutions at risk. One of them is the so far the world’s largest optical institute, the St. Petersburg State Institute of Optics. Will it continue to exist? I stayed there for two weeks last fall to understand what I could understand. I found many uncertainties, but I rarely hurt. However, when I wrote this article in January of this year, people there were already hurt. The Institute has been under the Ministry of National Defense Industry, and the Ministry has been cancelled. Its power is gradually being handed over to the new Ministry of Industry of the Russian Republic. However, the latter’s goals and budgets have not yet been determined and may not be determined in time. It is difficult to avoid major confusion and losses. . Last year’s days were bad. Due to the chaos of Moscow’s ministries and the foundations of various activities and reports, the annual plan has not yet been approved. The situation is not good from the very beginning. There is no such plan.
