On March 31, some media reported that the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov was nominated to receive one of the most prestigious world awards. We checked how plausible this information is.

This check is the result of joint work of factor from “verified” and Fakecheck. Share this material if you liked it. So you will help the development of factskek in Russia.

The news that some considered Aprilic (it was on this day it was widespread) first appeared on the website of the online Tambov.ru news agency. Here is her text:

“The head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov was nominated for the Nobel Prize of the World of 2021. The editorial office of IA "Online Tambov.ru" was reported by the President of the International Information Nobel Center (Mints) Vyacheslav Tyutyunnik. It is noted that Ramzan Kadyrov, who is a doctor of economic sciences, has been made "for an outstanding contribution to the establishment and maintenance of a reliable world in the historically complex Chechen region over the past 15 years." <...> Recall, the International Information Nobel Center in Tambov has been collecting and analyzing the works of laureates of the award for more than 30 years. There is a unique museum dedicated to the Nobel family. He opened long before the museum in Stockholm. ”

Almost immediately, this news spread website Chechen state television and radio company. And on April 1, more popular media wrote about the news: Life, "RIA Novosti ", "Kommersant"And many others. There were new details about the nomination. In particular, Life Tyutyunnik literally stated the following: “I have such information that he was nominated to the Nobel Prize of the World. It’s not me who acted as an initiator, I just know those people who nominated him, and they told me in secret. ” But for the portal "Caucasus. Reali" Tambov professor slightly opened The veil of secrets: “Norwegians put forward it. According to the rules of the prize, the nominators are classified, they become known only after 50 years. ” And he added: “This year more than 300 people have already been put forward. It does not happen that the nobel prize to the Nobel Prize the first time. Judging by the open declassified information, to receive a bonus, you need to advance for years, and sometimes for decades. The first time it will not work. Over the 120-year history, in only a few exceptional cases, this happened. ” Commented on the news and high -ranking Officials Chechnya.

As you can see, the primary source was a certain Vyacheslav Tyutyunnik, the president of the organization entitled "International Information Nobel Center" (Mints). To assess the plausibility of information, we will consider two main aspects of the issue: the authority and connection of Tyutunnik in the Podonobel environment, as well as the rules of the nomination, which is dictated by the Nobel Committee.

Let's start with Vyacheslav Tyutyunnik. The organization he head has an official website, from where you can draw a lot of information about the president (up to two biographical books). In particular, it is stated that Vyacheslav Mikhailovich is a candidate of chemical sciences, a doctor of technical sciences, a professor of computer science, an academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (RAEN), the New York Academy of Sciences and much more. And also part -time director of the Tambov branch of Moscow State University of Culture and Arts. Without questioning the professor’s title of Vyacheslav Tyutyunnik, it can be noted that Raen is often criticized by large scientists. They criticize this organization, which was founded in 1990, mainly for the fact that some of its members are persons that are far from science who have no proper education and recognized scientific works. For example, in 2006, sharp criticism Vitaly Ginzburg, and later and Sergey Kapitsa (The latter even wanted to leave the organization) caused a decision to award the title of academician Raen to one famous person. The name of this man was ... Ramzan Kadyrov. Sadly Known With his decisions and the New York Academy of Sciences, which simply sells these titles at a certain tariff.

On the website of Moscow State University there is a section intended for taking into account and analysis of the scientific activity of employees of organizations. Here pagededicated to Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Tyutyunnik, a doctor of technical sciences since 1998. As you can see, he is a rather prolific author in Russia: 280 publications, 1095 citation (as of April 1, 2021). Their considerable share is dedicated to the Nobel Prizes, and by filling the page, judging by marks, is engaged in Vyacheslav Mikhailovich himself. Only here with quoting indicators in the international recognized SCOPUS base, the Tyutyunnik case is not so rosy: two articles (1980 and 2002, both are in collaboration and are dedicated to natural science topics), zero citation. Thus, we can say that as a scientist Tyutyunnik outside Russia is unknown - even in his technical hypostasis. Moreover, there are no information outside his contacts with the Nobel Committee, despite the long -standing (Mintz has existed since 1989), Tyutyunnik’s occupation, dozens of written books and hundreds of articles. But he is in contact with the descendants of the Nobel brothers (recall that in Russia the latter were large industrialists - in particular, they were engaged in oil). In 2020, Tyutyunnik even Opened Nobel route ... Yes, yes, it is in the Chechen Republic. By the way, in the same year it became known that Ramzan Kadyrov does not mind receiving the Nobel Prize of the World for the establishment of peace in the republic - then it is directly declared On its compliance with this award, and not imposed by the sanctions against it.

In order to get additional information about Vyacheslav Tyutyunnik and his science - Nobelista, we turned to Alexei Paevsky, scientific journalist, co -author of the book “Nobeliats. The formula of success. 1901–1910 ”, the author of the project“ How to get Nobel ”on the Indicator portal. That's what he answered:

“To begin with, nobelistry as a science. Of course, Pushkinism or Yeseninov’s studies can be considered independent sciences, and not part of literary criticism, and cake or vets - independent sciences, and not part of the history of medicine, which in itself is part of the history of science. But then every scientist-historian (either art critic, or specialist in literature) is the founder of the new science. I wrote more than 300 biographies of the Nobel laureates, published one book with the co -author - and I will not dare to consider myself the founder of the new science.

In addition, nowhere - neither in the annals of the Russian Academy of Sciences, nor on site Nobel Prize - this is not there. As the surname of the respected Nobelist is not mentioned. The promotion and informing of the Nobel Prize is not engaged in the International Information Center, founded by the President of the Tambov branch of the Nobelisty of the Sad Rained RAEN with the unique Nobel scientific scientific, the museum and the archive of the Nobel family and the Nobel Laureates. Prizes, and Nobel Media, whose main scientific consultant is a great scientist Adam Smith, with whom I have the honor of being familiar.

Well, most importantly: I happened to visit the last full -time Nobel week in Stockholm, the culmination of which is the award ceremony and the Nobel banquet. I was in the Nobel Museum (with real things of the Nobel laureates), and at the Spin-Offe of the Week, the Nobel dialogue in Goetric. Alas, as the press secretary of the Nobel Foundation Rebecca Okselstoye says, in recent years, the only Russians accredited to the event were Anna Horozha and our colleagues from the Indicator portal in previous years. A reasonable question arises: what is the "Nobelist with world recognition" misses the main events of the subjects he studied and misses the opportunity to personally talk with the main characters of his science? "

Add that there is no Nobelistism in All -Russian Scientific Classifier of Specialities of the Higher Scientific Qualification. Therefore, this half of our investigation brings rather dubious results: instead of relations with world experts in the Nobel Prize - communications with Ramzan Kadyrov.

Now regarding the rules of nomination. On the official website of the Nobel Committee placed Information about the procedure for nomination for the world award. This is what is important to know.

The Nobel Nobel Committee is responsible for the choice of Nobel laureates of the Nobel Prize. Any person who is included in at least one of the following categories can nominate for the award:

- members of national parliaments and governments, members of the Cabinet of Ministers and ministers of sovereign states, as well as the current heads of state;
- Members of the International Court of the UN and the Standing Chamber of the Arbitration Court in The Hague;
- members of the Institute of International Law;
- members of the International Council of the International Women's Union for Peace and Freedom;
-Professors of universities, Ememe-Professor, associated professors of history, social sciences, jurisprudence, philosophy, theology and religion, rector and director of universities (or their equivalents), director of the research institutes of peace and foreign policy institutions;
- Laureates of the Nobel Prize of the World;
- members of the board of directors or its equivalent for organizations that were awarded the Nobel Prize of the World;
- The current and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee;
- Former advisers to the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

The charter of the Nobel Committee does not provide for sending letters with an invitation to put forward their candidate - the procedure is usually initiated by the nominators themselves. For this on the site Norwegian Nobel Committee There is a special form that can be filled up until January 31 of this year. A letter confirming the acceptance of the application is usually sent within a couple of months after the deadline. Although February and March in the committee’s calendar are the time of compiling a short-list from among nominated, this in no way affects the public news field. The fact is that information about nominees and nominators is prohibited to disclose for 50 years. For example, today in the corresponding database You can find information about nominations no later than 1967.

Of course, information about a particular nomination periodically penetrates the press (for example, in 2020, almost synchronously allegedly were put forward Vladimir Putin And Alexey Navalny), but it is spread, as a rule, nominators, and they are not connected with any obligations. The restriction applies only to the members of the Nobel Committee, which means that no official confirmation or refutation of information in each case should be expected. Unless, of course, the alleged nominee does not receive this very bonus. In other cases, it remains only to believe or not believe the primary sources. For example, in the case of Vladimir Putin’s nomination, the insider resource investigation And he claims that the nominee - Sergey Komkov - was not authorized to do this, since the data on his professorship degrees are very doubtful.

Quite rarely happen leaks Information, however, it turns out, as a rule, late, after awarding the award. In the case of Kadyrov’s nomination, perplexity is caused by the fact that the link in the message goes to third parties, that is, the authors of the initiative have not yet shown themselves, although the public did not have the opportunity to refute their words.

As for the award for 2021, according to the official site, 329 candidates claim it: 234 people and 95 organizations. Is there a big question among the approved nominees, the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov is a big question, but the information we collected (both according to the authority of the news source and on the procedural side) suggests that, most likely, not.
