Generally, the Russian scientific research degree "doctor nauk" is granted for investigating unresolvable and more universal and not for new and uninvestigated and particular scientfic problems as it is in tne case of PHD degree attainment. Therefore, PHD degree, frome these respectives, more corresponds with Candidate of sciences degree. But PHD dissertation in social sciences usually is much bigger in length. If PHD dissertation consists of at least 80 000 words, the Candidate of sciences dissertation consists of nearly from 40 000 to 60 000 words. But the tasks of the dissertations and necessary demands of the individual contribution in the particular science is the same.This contribution sounds like "the scientifical novelty", which is necessary declared in the Russian and other CIS countries' candidate of sciences dissertations' introductions. The Bologna system are not applicated to the post-graduate degrees, so candidate of sciences and "doctor nauk" degrees are called "scientific degrees" and they are not called " academic" degrees. For the "doctor nauk" degree attainment there are needed the new resolution method for the problems which cannot be resolved by old methods.
