medvedev抯 article, go russia! (september 10, 2009) |
we really live
in a unique time. we have a chance to build a new,
free, prosperous and strong russia. as president i
am obliged to do everything in my power to make sure
that we fully take advantage of this opportunity.
in the coming decades russia should become a country
whose prosperity is ensured not so much thanks to
commodities but by intellectual resources: the
so-called intelligent economy, creating unique
knowledge, exporting new technologies and innovative
products.
i recently identified five strategic vectors for the
economic modernisation of our country. first, we
will become a leading country measured by the
efficiency of production, transportation and use of
energy. we will develop new fuels for use on
domestic and international markets. secondly, we
need to maintain and raise our nuclear technology to
a qualitatively new level. third, russia's experts
will improve information technology and strongly
influence the development of global public data
networks, using supercomputers and other necessary
equipment. fourth, we will develop our own ground
and space infrastructure for transferring all types
of information; our satellites will thus be able to
observe the whole world, help our citizens and
people of all countries to communicate, travel,
engage in research, agricultural and industrial
production. fifth, russia will take a leading
position in the production of certain types of
medical equipment, sophisticated diagnostic tools,
medicines for the treatment of viral,
cardiovascular, and neurological diseases and
cancer.
as we follow these five strategies for success in
high-tech spheres, we will also pay constant
attention to the development of our most important
traditional industries and, first of all, the
agro-industrial complex. one in three of us live in
rural areas. the availability of modern social
services for rural residents, increasing their
incomes, improving their working conditions and
daily life will always remain our priority.
of course russia will be well-armed. well enough so
that it does not occur to anyone to threaten us or
our allies.
these goals are realistic. the targets we have set
for achieving them are difficult but attainable. we
have already developed detailed, step-by-step plans
to move forward in these areas. we will encourage
and promote scientific and technological creativity.
first and foremost, we will support young scientists
and inventors. secondary and higher education will
prepare a sufficient number of specialists for
promising industries. academic institutions will
concentrate major efforts on the implementation of
breakthrough projects. legislators will take all
decisions to ensure comprehensive support for the
spirit of innovation in all spheres of public life,
creating a market place for ideas, inventions,
discoveries, and new technologies. public and
private companies will receive full support in all
endeavours that create a demand for innovative
products. foreign companies and research
organisations will be offered the most favourable
conditions for establishing research and design
centres in russia. we will hire the best scientists
and engineers from around the world. most
importantly, we will explain to our young people
that the most important competitive advantage is
knowledge that others do not have, intellectual
superiority, the ability to create things that
people need. as pushkin wrote: 揟here is a higher
courage: the courage of invention, creation, where
an extensive plan is overwhelmed by the creative
idea.?inventors, innovators, researchers, teachers,
entrepreneurs who introduce new technologies, will
become the most respected people in society. in
turn, society will give them everything they need to
be productive.
of course an innovative economy cannot be
established immediately. it is part of a culture
based on humanistic values. it is grounded in our
efforts to transform the world and guarantee a
better quality of life, liberate individuals from
poverty, disease, fear and injustice. talented
people who want reform, people who can create new
and better things will not come here from another
planet. they are already here among us. and that is
clearly proven by the results of international
intellectual competitions, the fact that inventions
made in russia are patented abroad, and the fact
that our best specialists are headhunted by the
world抯 largest companies and universities. we --
the government, society and the family unit -- must
learn to find, nurture, educate and take care of
such people.
