In the past, intensive interest in Soviet research and development
has been sporadic both in the West and in the USSR. The end of the
1980s coincided with the demise of the Soviet model of economic
development. As a result, a surge of attention has been given to t
e factors driving the motor of Soviet growth and development, as
well as R&D. The opening, first, of the Soviet and,
subsequently, of the Russian economy, finally exposed it to global
stan to scientific dards. The long period of international
isolation with respect and technological exchanges made it
difficult for scholars and policy makers at home and abroad to
measure the status of Soviet advances. Consequently, some overrated
the levels, while others underestimated them. Now it comes to light
that, although the Soviets put the first satellite in space
(Sputnik) and developed their own hydrogen bomb, these were more
the exceptions of innovation from research results rather than the
rule. Therefore, as the management of the entire economy
increasingly malfunctioned, so did the management of R&D in
contributing to economic growth and development. There is no
denying the incredible investment of the former Soviet state in
domestic science and research. The R&D community was one of the
largest, if not the largest, in the world during the second half of
the twentieth century. Now, Russia has inherited not only this
enormous resource, but also the inadequate organization,
management, and structure."
