Downsized yet still potent Russian science seen emerging from current political crisis
Article Abstract:
The Russian scientific establishment is in chaos following the demise of communism and the lack of finance. This has resulted in many scientists seeking overseas employment. During the communist era Russia had the largest scientific establishment. It was organised into 3 pyramids: the applied research establishment managed by the defence ministry, which received 70% of government funding; the research universities and the academies of science which included the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and provided the best research despite only receiving 15% of government funding.
