#Russia science is on a fast-track to the times when the value of research was measured by the number of quotes from Marx, Engels and Lenin. These days Marxism-Leninism has been replaced by a rather weird… I don’t know, Biblical cryptozoology? Member of state Duma Igor Ananskikh and FSB general Igor Mironov published an article in a Russian scientific journal “Legal science: history and the presence”, 2023, № 9. Summary of the article:
Russia includes about 200 tribes and peoples. Russians in Russia are the state-forming people. Almost all the greatness of Russia was created by Russians in unity with other peoples of our Fatherland. In modern conditions, the Russian population is declining, which threatens the existence of Russia itself. The family in Russia has become an object of destruction in a hybrid war. The United States and the collective West have formulated the political goals of killing Russians. The same policy is promoted by some politicians and Russian foreign agents.
But this is only the beginning: the article then goes into a delirious mix of science fiction, religious ramblings and conspiracy theories. Here’s a short sample:
The Bible also tells about other people on planet Earth. They were not originally meant to have a family. In chapter two of the Bible, another cosmic entity, the Lord God, appears. The Lord God proceeds to “create” a new branch of human beings. To form the body of the new Man, the Lord God used the “dust of the earth,” the dead earth, from which he moulded a humanoid golem. “And the Lord God created man out of the dust of the earth, and blew into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul” (Gen. 2, 7) [99].
Then it’s getting even worse:
Thus, according to various authors and sources, there are two main kinds of people living on planet Earth: “people of the Earth”, created in the image and likeness of God; and people of two main types live on planet Earth: “people of the Earth”, created in the image and likeness of God; and people, created “from the dust of the earth” with the help of cosmic gene technology. The former, the people of God’s people, the creators, are guided by high. moral principles. Their values are: Peace, family, children, cult of woman-mother, creation, preservation of nature. The other kind, earthlings; genetically modified creatures; biological artificial intelligence. Their values: war, murder, terror, revolutions, brothels, paedophilia, cannibalism, drug addiction, destruction of the life support system the life support system of spaceship Earth, etc.

If you think it’s some fringe pseudo-science journal, it’s not:
Journal is registered by Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor). Print publication registration certificate No. ФС 77 – 40503. Journal is accredited in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI)
On a personal note, as I was going to expeditions in Caucasus for ~20 years, the mountaineering community in Russia attracted a certain type of people: former security services, deeply paranoid, taking very seriously all kind of stories on UFO, reptilian humanoids etc. There was an ex-KGB guy obsessed with finding entrance to Shambala (later committed suicide), an ex-FSB guy who created whole UFO search organisation, an ex-OMON spetsnaz guy. The latter was obsessed with pseudo-scientific racial theories, very similar to the one described in the article. I have no idea what causes this, but in Russian security services there is a noticeable preference for pseudo-science and really fringe conspiracy theories. This article is just a tip of an iceberg.
