This was stated by the head of the Ministry of Education and Science Valery Falkov in an interview with the TV channel "Russia 24".

According to him, in each such situation it is necessary to understand in detail, because "wages are paid at a specific university or in a scientific organization."

"As for this situation, we are already looking into it, and we are looking, and obviously, certain steps will be taken," TASS quotes him.

As the press service of the Ministry of Education and Science clarified, Falkov gave instructions to sort out the situation immediately after the council meeting with the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Earlier it was reported that at a meeting of the Council for Science and Education, a researcher from Novosibirsk Anastasia Proskurina spoke about attempts to disguise the actual low salaries.

After that, the President of Russia demanded to deal with the problems that arise when paying salaries to scientists in the regions.
