Abstract
One of the most remarkable phenomena in the complicated life of contemporary Russian academe is the mass departure of scholars for politics. Although this kind of "brain drain" cannot compare in scale with other types, such as the emigration of Russian researchers and their entry into business, it is comparable to them in importance, for it has an appreciable effect on both academics and politics.
