Russia's high-tech industry is dead in the water for the foreseeable future. They won't recover for decades from the tech embargoes that started in 2014 and are very extensive now.
- avmich 4y ago> Russia's high-tech industry is dead in the water Completely agree. > They won't recover for decades from the tech embargoes that started in 2014 and are very extensive now. I hope they'll change approaches rather soon, 180 degrees, and will start digging out. It will still take time.
- terafo 4y agoI don't see them making any kind of comeback any time soon, since they can't get any high-tech equipment from abroad. Which is pretty much impossible with current leadership and current political system.
- avmich 4y agoRight, but they are in the stage of rapid changes, so current leadership may not stay for too long.

- Symmetry 4y agoMore than just sanctions, Russia is the sort of a country where if you start a company and its too successful someone with connections might show up one day with documents "proving" you signed it over to them for a fraction of its worth.
