Using foreign specialists, tax relief for companies which are conducting R&D... -- finally some practical steps in the right direction. But, if Medvedev really wants to boost the country modernization, then he should unleash intellectual potential of Russian people, by decentralizing the economy and promoting small and medium size high-tech businesses. And the Russian borders should be open for world leading companies being able to compete with Russians. At the same time, the government itself should lead these efforts by investing into big programs (like, Sky Elevator, wireless power transmission, rapid transportation, or similar...) and creating big scentific and engineering centers across the country tied closely with the Universities and Colleges. Also, one more very important aspect -- supporting immigration. My personal experience (in the USSR, Russia, and the US) shows that the most effictive, dynamic, and innovative environment -- with multinationl teams. The country will be much better if foreigners would come in Russia not only to earn money, but with the desire to live there.
