Putin's dissertation plagiarized my advisor Dr. King's book!
From Washington Times:
============================
Researchers peg Putin as a plagiarist over thesis
By David R. Sands
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
March 25, 2006
Vladimir Putin -- KGB spy, politician, Russian Federation president, 2006 host of the Group of Eight international summit -- can add a new line to his resume: plagiarist.
Large chunks of Mr. Putin's mid-1990s economics dissertation on planning in the natural resources sector were lifted straight out of a management text published by two University of Pittsburgh academics nearly 20 years earlier, Washington researchers insisted yesterday.
Six diagrams and tables from the 218-page dissertation mimic in form and content similar charts in the Russian translation of the Americans' work as well, according to Brookings Institution senior fellow Clifford G. Gaddy.
"It all boils down to plagiarism," he said. "Whether you're talking about a college-level term paper, not to mention a formal dissertation, there's no question in my mind that this would be plagiarism."
The dissertation, which Putin scholars have tried in vain for years to examine, is one of a number of mysteries surrounding the enigmatic Russian leader's academic career.
The official Kremlin biography asserts Mr. Putin obtained a "Ph.D. in economics" in 1997 from the St. Petersburg Mining Institute, but his thesis was for a "candidate of sciences" degree that is considered at least an academic class below a formal doctoral degree.
In a semiautobiographical series of interviews published just after he was named president of Russia in 2000, Mr. Putin does not even mention the thesis, referring only to preliminary work he did on another dissertation on international law at the then-Leningrad State University in 1990 while still formally an employee of the KGB.
It is not even clear when Mr. Putin wrote the thesis, formally titled "The Strategic Planning of Regional Resources Under the Formation of Market Relations," although it is known he returned from Moscow to St. Petersburg in 1997 to defend his work.
What is clear, according to Mr. Gaddy and fellow Brookings researcher Igor Danchenko, is that large sections of the dissertation's central argument were taken almost word-for-word from the 1978 management text "Strategic Planning and Policy," by University of Pittsburgh professors William R. King and David I. Cleland.
Mr. Gaddy said that in the 20 pages that open the dissertation's key second section, 16 pages are taken either verbatim or with minute alterations from the American work. The book had been translated into Russian by a KGB-related institute in the early 1990s.
The thesis writer does cite the King-Cleland work as one of his 47 sources, but gives no indication that paragraphs and pages are being taken unchanged from the earlier work.
"Somebody was cutting corners," said Mr. Gaddy, "whether it was Mr. Putin or whoever cut-and-pasted the work for him."
Western researchers have reported continual frustration since Mr. Putin took power in obtaining a copy of the dissertation. Mr. Danchenko said the Brookings researchers learned that a Moscow technical library had a text of the work in its electronic files.
A friend signed up as a subscriber to the library and was able to obtain a copy, he said.
Although it may fall short of Western scholarly conventions, Mr. Putin's effort should be seen in a Russian, post-Soviet context, some scholars said.
E. Wayne Merry, senior associate at the American Foreign Policy Council, said dubious academic credential building was common in Eastern Europe and especially the old East Germany, where Mr. Putin served as a KGB agent in the dying years of the Soviet Union.
"It was really quite common for an up-and-coming apparatchik to get a ghostwritten work done to obtain a degree," he said. "It's probably an open question whether Putin even read his dissertation until s

I still need people to take part in this
Hi everyone I need help with my research into art as a crime and I need people to take part in a short interview, via email or flickr mail. dogtireda@googlemail.com
Art as a Crime
All identities will remain anonymous, unless otherwise specified. Artists will be denoted as [Artist 1, UK, Stencil] artist, location, genre. Please state if you wish to be named in the dissertation.
I think it would be helpful to give a basic outline of my area of research and what my dissertation is about. I have just finished a paper on Art as a crime- exploring attitudes towards graffiti and street art. I would now like to explore this area from the artists view point.
The aim of my dissertation is to explore the factors and reasons why people become involved in street art and graffiti. How they feel about committing a crime each time a work is placed on the streets. What influences or other subcultures and art movements have affected the work. In today’s market driven economy street art is in demand, how has this affected the work of graffiti artists. If financial gain is a driving factor in the creation of their art. should graffiti and street art be de-criminalised and the effect this may have on the subculture.
I have set out some questions below if you could answer as many as possible. If you have anything else to add please do, I value your opinion and experience. It would be very helpful if you could attach an image of your recent work, or provide a link to an online example.
1. Could you please explain how you first became involved with graffiti/street art and what your social background is.
Has the type of graffiti/street art you do now changed as you have gotten older.
Would you call yourself a graffiti writer, street artist or other.
2. Do you consider what you do art
3. What genre do you work in, e.g. graff writing, stencil, paste-up, sticker, multimedia, sculpture, other.
4. What and who are your influences
5. What are your main reasons for working in this area
6. Do you now do work for galleries and if so has this had any effect on the work you do on the street?
7. Did you start in the established art world (includes art school) and progress to the street, if yes what were your reasons for this
8. Is financial gain a driving factor in the creation of your art.
9. Is choice of location and placement important in your work.
10. What effect do you think Graffiti/street art has on the area and the people that live there? Have you ever been arrested/cautioned for graffiti/street art?
11. Should graffiti/street art be de-criminalised, what effect do you think this would have on the subcultures if any.
12. Some cities now have authorised graffiti areas, what affect do you think this has on graffiti?
13. How do you feel about committing a crime every time you place some art on the street?
14. If people had a better understanding of graffiti/street art and the reasons behind it would their view of it change?

Regarding the award-winning physicist Dr. Elliot McGucken at Princeton University, the late John Archibald Wheeler stated, "More intellectual curiosity, versatility and yen for physics than Elliot McGucken's I have never seen in any senior or graduate student. . . Originality, powerful motivation, and a can-do spirit make me think that McGucken is a top bet."

The great thing about the beach is that it presents an entirely different universe from season to season, from day to day, from hour to hour, from second to second, with the ever changing wind, tides, clouds, and sun. A split second with tumbling surf and a sinking sun can make a vast different, resulting in entirely different photographs.

Did I ever mention how awesome my research is? Way awesome. Yesterday and today I have been using SketchUp to draw the buildings in a part of Hyde Park from 1940.
I'm using Sanborn maps, which were made from about 1870-1970 to help set rates for fire insurance. These indicate the building locations, number of stories, and even windows and outbuildings. So far for 1940 and 1970--bookending the period I'm studying Hyde Park--I've filled out the volumes for these blocks. With some more research I will be able to roughly detail the buildings, then illustrate the interior space of selected units. For those who know Hyde Park or UofC, this is the intersection of Garfield and Greenwood. With these models/images, I intend to show how the urban, architectural and social space of student housing changed along with real estate economics and local politics during the twentieth century. It's going to rock.
In my 5% sample of the student body (via student directory) in 1940 (n~310), 3 students lived in this area, noted on the image. You can also see more about my masters thesis and/or dissertation in on flickr.
