“…Not having the necessary scientific equipment and being left in unheated laboratories without salaries, highly qualified staff were forced to leave the country or to quit their academic careers and join private businesses, often to do almost anything other than research and development (Egorov, 1995; Graham and Dezhina, 2008). The number of people employed in the Russian R&D sector fell by more than 50 percent during the 1990s (Soubbotina and Weiss, 2009: 278). As many studies point out, the problem was not with the reduction in total numbers (downsizing, in fact, could be beneficial for the overstaffed Soviet science and education sector).…”

“…Scholars, while often illicitly using institute infrastructure for private contracts, kept networking skills and a space for the diffusion of tacit knowledge to young researchers. In addition, some gaps in Russian R&D expenditures were partially filled by foreign funding in the form of direct contracts with foreign research partners or high-tech multinational companies, such as Nokia, Samsung, or General Electric (Soubbotina and Weiss, 2009). As contemporary data indicate, activities of such R&D small and medium enterprises made up 4.5 percent of total USSR R&D spending in 1988; in the beginning of the 1990s, this share was already 19 percent (Gaponenko, 1995: 697).…”

“…… The dominant trend seems to have been an outflow of Russian-developed technological knowledge directly to foreign firms and R&D agencies, combined with the recruitment of the best Russian graduates and of a select group of experienced researchers by foreign firms.

“… 3. In comparison, between 1990 and 2000, R&D investment averaged 2.2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), about 3 percent in Japan and above 2.5 percent in the United States (Soubbotina and Weiss, 2009: 278). …”

This article explores the emerging institutionalization of collaborative university-industry networks in Russia. The Russian government has attempted to use a top-down public policy scheme to stimulate and promote network-building in the R&D sector. In order to understand the initial organizational responses that universities and companies select while structuring collaborations, the article utilizes conceptual perspectives from institutional theory, especially drawing on arguments from strategic choice, network-building, and network failure studies.

Subject. The article discusses Russia’s economy and analyzes its effectiveness. Objectives. The study attempts to determine to what extent Russia’s economy is effective. Methods. The study is based on the systems approach and the statistical analysis. Results. I discovered significant fluctuations of the structural balance due to changing growth rates of the total gross national debt denominated in the national currency, and the stability of growth rates of governmental revenue. Changes in the RUB exchange rate and an additional growth in GDP are the main stabilizers of the structural balance, as they depend on hydrocarbon export. As a result of the analysis of cash flows, I found that the exports slowed down. Financial resources are strongly centralized, since Moscow and the Moscow Oblast are incrementing their share in the export of mineral resources, oil and refining products and import of electrical machines and equipment. Conclusions and Relevance. The fact that the Russian economy has been effectively organized is proved with the centralization of the economic power and the limits through the cross-regional corporation, such as Moscow and the Moscow Oblast, which is resilient to any regional difficulties ensuring the economic growth and sustainable development. The findings would be valuable for the political and economic community to outline and substantiate actions to keep rates of the economic growth and sustainable development of the Russian economy.
