Even working in the administration, Vasilyev lectured governors, professors, school teachers, officials, youth, he says: it is perceived as a man of his environment everything – from academics to teachers in rural schools.

President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vladimir Forts welcomes the appointment of a new Minister of Education. “It is no secret that the Academy of Sciences have developed a very complex relationship with the Ministry of Education and personally Livanov.
