Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with young entrepreneurs at VDNKh, said that in 10 years life in Russia will be better depending on technological development.
Arkady Didkovsky, who attended the meeting, asked the president what technological Russia would look like in ten years. According to the head of state, the country should try to improve the demographic situation, ensure the health of the population, improve the environmental situation and develop in the field of big data and quantum technologies.
“We have to make an effort to make sure we acquire new competencies. <...> and it will be a leader in all these areas.”
“Success is guaranteed if we follow this path,” said the head of state.
“So, are we going to live better ten years from now?” Didkovsky said.
“Yes, and this should ultimately lead to an improvement in quality of life,” the president replied.
Challenge number one
The head of state also described demographics as a top priority for the country.
“We should have more people and they should be healthy,” Putin said.
“And there’s a whole range of problems here: the development of medicine, the foundation of medical equipment, drugs, modern medicines … And end-to-end technologies, quantum technologies, big data,” said the president.
He noted that Russia “always tried to pinch and humiliate us as a “gas station country”, but there are things Russia can be proud of.
Putin pointed out that Russia has a tradition of education that does not exist in many countries. “We have great science schools, including mathematical ones. And in all these areas there are issues and issues that need to be addressed. But we have the opportunity to do that,” he said.
The future of the Russian economy
Russia will not have a closed economy, as the country does not intend to “fend itself”.
“We didn’t have a closed economy. So, in Soviet times, when we cut ourselves, we created the so-called iron curtain – we created it with our own hands. “We will not do this now, we will not rake with the same rake,” said Putin.
“Our economy will be open. Those who do not want to rob themselves, they are already robbing themselves,” the president said, emphasizing that it is impossible to isolate a country like Russia.
According to him, Western countries are trying to accuse Russia of rising inflation, rising prices of fertilizers and energy carriers. But Russia “has nothing to do with it”, this happened because of “their mistakes and long mistakes before today’s events”.
The President is confident that Russia should “develop in such a way that it does not depend on anyone in the main areas of development.”
He also drew attention to the importance of the community’s ability to unite to solve national problems. “If there is no such consolidation, everything will be turned upside down,” the head of state says.
“If the economy limps, sneezes and coughs, that’s it, then how society does not consolidate and consolidate, nothing will happen,” said Putin.
The answer to all restrictions “can and should be the unconditional debureaucratization of decision making”.
About companies leaving the Russian Federation
The President of the Russian Federation believes that foreign companies leaving the Russian market will regret their decision.
“In today’s conditions, when someone jumps somewhere, leaves, chooses to stop an activity here, they will regret it. This is not a threat. They won’t regret that we threatened someone. “We are not threatening anyone,” he said.
“They will regret it because Russia is a country with great potential,” the president said. According to him, many companies regret having to leave. Putin described it as a manifestation of the “internal situation of these countries that cannot make sovereign decisions” and emphasized that Russia is a sovereign country that should look to the future.
According to the President, states in the modern world can be either sovereign or colonial, not intermediate states.
How are they trying to “hit” Russia?
Putin told Russia that the main direction of the coup was the restrictions on microelectronics.
“Our government has been trying for several years to start, recreate and create a microelectronics industry on a new basis in Russia. This is one of the difficult issues, one of the main areas of attack on Russia from difficult and all restrictive measures,” he said.
He emphasized that the desire of other states to limit Russia’s access to technology has been throughout its history and after the Petrine era.
“The ships he built, the method of construction, etc. it was pretty much classified at that time. And Peter went there, worked as a carpenter, took out all this, ”the head of state recalled.
He stated that Russia must fight and defend itself, and this has been the case for centuries.
“The fact that we have to defend ourselves, to fight, these are obvious things. At this time we were at the exhibition dedicated to the 350th anniversary of Peter the Great. Almost nothing has changed. You have come to this awareness, to understanding. Here Peter the Great waged the Northern War for 21 years. It seems that he was at war with Sweden, he refused something … He did not refuse anything: he returned. Yes but how? It is,” said Putin.
According to him, St. When St. Petersburg was founded, no European country recognized this region as Russian. “Everyone knew him for Sweden. And there, from time immemorial, the Slavs lived, together with the Finno-Ugric peoples, ”said he.
“It seems that it also fell to us to return and strengthen. And if we proceed from the fact that fundamental values (sovereignty) form the basis of our existence, we will certainly succeed in solving the tasks we face.
