Russian scientists and the university community have welcomed the decision of Valery Falkov, the newly appointed head of the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education, to lift restrictions on the contact of domestic university professors and scientists with their foreign colleagues, according to recent statements made by representatives of some Russian universities and local media reports.
The restrictions were part of a special order of the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education, which was adopted in February 2019 and which became public in August last year.
