A series of scandals, after which there were rumors of Koksharov's resignation, was associated with a number of lectures, including the author of the election program of the oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov, a liberal intellectual, the editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy, the EU ambassador in Moscow and the head of the German Foreign Ministry. The main message: Russia may be a good country, but it is unsuitable for the development of new technologies, it should not be independent, it should abandon its imperial ambitions away, and at the same time return Crimea to Ukraine. Such a series of anti-Russian lectures was outraged by the Ural social activists, who spoke about this situation at the ONF conference in Moscow.

"As a citizen, I am against the filter of topics and speakers on discussion platforms, including state universities. But when one after another there are protests against the President of Russia, for the Ukrainian junta, and there are no alternative speakers, this is wrong. Everything from simple: different points vision should be presented so that young people can evaluate the quality of presentation of a particular historical fact. In a state university, it is categorically unacceptable to tilt to one side, because, excuse me, these universities are held for budget resources ", - said in an interview with Nakanune.RU co-chairman of the Central Headquarters of the ONF, secretary of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation Alexander Brechalov.

Another public figure Iosif Diskin, Chairman of the Commission for the Harmonization of Interethnic and Interreligious Relations of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation noted that the decision on the fact of holding anti-Russian lectures in UrFU - " this is the business of the academic council of the corresponding university, this is their principled position".

After a wave of criticism of the university and the rector from the media, public figures, including from Moscow, it seemed that the situation began to improve - Viktor Koksharov invited the main "Afghan" of the country and an active participant to read regular patriotic movement Franz Klintsevich, announced a number of events in preparation for the 70th anniversary of the Victory, as well as a real boost of patriotism among students. However, after a short time at the university, they again sounded that. Some observers suggest that such a "swing" was due to the uncertainty in the fate of the rector, and the return to liberal propaganda - with the confidence that "life is getting better" and "everything is decided up there." However, we must not forget that, who represented the last lecturer - Mikhail Shvydkoy. Naturally, all this is happening not without the knowledge, but even with the approval of Viktor Koksharov. The university has not yet acknowledged that anti-Crimean and anti-Russian lectures are not very appropriate in a federal university. Apparently, this is precisely the "principled position of the Academic Council" or this position does not exist at all.

Returning to the family of the first president, it is worth remembering one more fact - despite the general confrontation between Russia and the West, Yeltsin's relatives are honored and welcomed in countries that even profess openly Russophobic views. For example, only a month ago, the executive director of the Yeltsin Foundation, Alexander Drozdov, visited Tallinn, where he presented Thanksgiving letters from Naina Yeltsina to several people who were most active in the opening of the bas-relief in honor of Boris Yeltsin in 2013, including a member of parliament and a former minister. The bas-relief says that it was installed in memory of Boris Yeltsin, who made a contribution to the "peaceful restoration of Estonia's independence", that is, saved it from the bonds of the bloody Soviets. Note that this happened in the same Tallinn, where last years banned entry, for example, academician Valery Tishkov, actor Ivan Okhlobystin, chairman public council under the Ministry of Defense, Igor Korotchenko, and ex-Member of the European Parliament Julieto Chiesa was imprisoned and expelled from the country for trying to speak at round table with a pro-Russian stance. And in the same Tallinn, where they decided.

A month later, Drozdov received the French Order of Merit. The same award was received by one of the co-organizers of the History of Stalinism, the head of the Rosarkhiv Sergei Mironenko. At the same time, relations between Russia and France, let's face it, are not particularly good.

The president's daughter, Tatyana Yumasheva, does have Austrian citizenship along with her husband. They were able to obtain citizenship in 2009 on the guarantee of the leadership of the Canadian automobile concern Magna for a major "contribution to the development of the Austrian automotive industry." True, the Russian public had two questions: how many brands of Austrian cars can the reader remember, and why do Canadian businessmen vouch for the daughter of the late ex-president before the Austrian authorities? It is clear that the questions are rhetorical.

Everything falls into place if we remember that the Magna concern since the early 1990s has been closely associated with the "young reformers", in particular, with Anatoly Chubais and the business empire of Yumashev's son-in-law Oleg Deripaska. It's no secret that Magna's board of directors includes prominent Western politicians, including members of the Bildeberg Club.

It remains to be stated that the Boris Yeltsin family retains its influence not only in Russia, but also in the ranks of the Western business and political elite. And in this sense, an attempt to keep in the orbit of their influence one of the largest universities in the country with loyal leaders and government funding looks to them as real as it is justified.
