It’s about him Sergey Abramova scientist and expert in supercomputers, while the decision was taken by a court in the city of Yaroslavl, as reported by the media for science issues T-Invariant citing the scientist’s own statements.

Abramov was head of the Institute of Software Systems AK Ailamazyan of the Russian Academy of Sciences for nearly 19 years and scientific director of supercomputer development programs for Russia under a joint Moscow-Minsk program. Several of the systems developed under his guidance were included in the list of the 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world. In 2015 he was awarded the Lebedev Prize of the Russian Academy of Sciences for his outstanding work in the field of computer systems development.

It is not known which organization the scientist is accused of funding, but his name appeared on one of the lists of supporters of Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation published online. This organization was characterized as extremist by the Russian courts and outlawed in 2021.
Abramov faces up to 8 years in prison. On April 10, the scientist’s home was searched, after which he spent more than a day in the pre-trial detention center and was then placed under house arrest. Now Sergei Abramov is walking free. The 66-year-old scientist does not admit his guilt. He believes his criminal case is a blow to Russia’s supercomputer industry and evidence of a “massive systemic error” in the country’s governance.
