The prehistory of the emergence of the idea of developing the adoption as a regulatory legal act of the Government of the Russian Federation of a “road map” for the development of competition in the field of science is investigated. The formation of a West-orientedand West-dependent model of the functioning of Russian science, its transformation into one of the main world suppliers of “scientific raw materials” at a negative price is named as the main objective reason for such a decision. The substitution of real intellectual and economic rivalry between Russian scientific, educational organizations and scientists by the struggle for high rates of publication activity and citation contributes to the development of unfair competition in science and education, the encouragement of already established monopolies in the global markets of scientific results and services of access to scientific information. The theoretical model of the “roadmap” presented in the article can be used to develop by March 1, 2022 in accordance with the decision of the Russian Government (order of September 2, 2021 No. 2424-r) of the official road map "for the development of competitionin the field of science. The problems of competition in the field of science in the theoretical model include, in particular: Monopolization of the world market for the results of scientific activity by a group of economic entities controlled by the countries of the global North; Inconsistency of monitoring rules and criteria for assessing the performance of scientific organizations with the needs of developing real competition between them and all other subjects of scientific activity; Inconsistency of the current normative legal regulation the task of involving in economic competition for access to budgetary resources, which are distributed through public competitive purchases of all categories of subjects of scientific activity (including citizens and temporary research teams that are not legal entities). It is concluded that it is necessary to form a new state policy in the field of science, focused on ensuring the sovereignty of our country, obtaining and using scientific results of a “deep redistribution” within the country, stopping the practice of artificial “mergers and acquisitions” of educational and scientific organizations, encouraging an international scientific cooperation, not cooperation in general.
