Title: Research and Development in Russia: An Important Factor for the Future
Authors: William C. Boesman, Science, Technology, and Medicine Division 
Abstract: This report assesses a number of recent changes in the Russian R&D system, and Russian R&D priorities under the new system. The report identifies issues for Congress, including whether U.S. cooperative R&D programs, recently established to assist Russia's peaceful transition to a market economy, are contributing to that goal and whether such programs should be continued in light of Russia's uncertain future and possible U.S. national security concerns.
