I live in Russian and am running an IT startup. I can tell you that nobody here in Russia takes these kinds of things seriously. It's clear even to a first grade kid that the only goal to almost any government endeavor that has "sience" or "nano" as part of its name, is to steal money from tax payers. It's also clear that Silicon Valley is rather a social phenomenon which cannot be reproduced by simply pouring tons of money, and this is the only way Russian govnt learnt to act for past decade. What's more, we do not need any Silicon Valleys, it's not meant for Russians, it will not work under any conditions on Russian grounds.
