<p>On a similar note, in terms of scientific research and publications in Russia, it seems that not many folks are actively participating with the “West” in English-speaking domain. In terms of fundamental research and certain technologies, there are a lot of brilliant work done in the area of chemistry, chemical engineering, physics, etc. However, you would have to dig into Russian publications in order to get access to them. And, not many folks speaks or read Russian…
In my personal opinion, It is not that Russia schools are not good, or its science and technologies are not up to par. Russian needs to do better in “Marketing” itself worldwide and let people know what was already well-known in Russian-speaking communities.</p>
<p>Just my two-cents.</p>
