Abstract

In the medium term, Russia is set to fall behind world leaders in the development of computing power, due to its lack of competence, production capabilities, and market size. Immediate attention is needed to prevent the gap from widening, threatening Russia’s strategic interests. Russia does have the resources and scientific-technological potential to remedy the situation, but this must be done quickly, given how fast the world is changing. Political disagreements must be cast aside, in order to focus on the urgent administrative and technological tasks before us.
