USA: Russia is restoring the tradition of "closed cities"

75
The military technopolis, which was soon opened by the Russian Defense Ministry, will be a kind of return to the tradition of the Soviet "closed cities", said American expert on Russia Samuel Bendett.





“It’s still difficult to say how successful this initiative will be, as the analyst stresses. The success of the undertaking will largely depend on whether the Russian government was able to “learn the lessons” of Skolkovo, the previous large-scale technopolis project initiated to achieve a technological breakthrough, ”the expert’s article cites. RIA News.

However, the author notes, the project “has one serious advantage over similar undertakings, and it lies in the fact that its construction and development will be controlled by the Ministry of Defense”.

The creation of a military innovative technopolis in Anapa was reported in February of this year. The general management of research projects will be carried out by the head of the Kurchatov Institute, Mikhail Kovalchuk.

The company is created on the basis of the "Military Innovation Technopolis" ERA "". Research will be funded by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The focus of attention of the new technopolis will include “conducting research, analysis and certification of military and dual-use products”.

        Some cities have never opened in our country ... laughing

        Sarovo - a city, a closed administrative-territorial formation, is a municipal formation of the Nizhny Novgorod region, located in the Nizhny Novgorod region and, mainly, the Republic of Mordovia.

On Wikipedia (this is the last resort for some) it is written and the Mordovian reserve, the Republic of Mordovia .... so some people think that Sarov is half in Lower and half in Mordovia! But this is not so. The Mordovian reserve is large and its name was associated with the Republic of Mordovia, but part of this reserve is the Sarovsky district, Nizhny Novgorod region ... a small part and it, as a territorial unit, goes to the Nizhny Novgorod region under the old name !!!

      Really - from foreign sources. He himself was overwhelmingly surprised when he found out about the White Paper, dedicated to the Ministry of General Engineering in the early 80s. Everything - up to the head of the department of enterprises. The security officers arranged a big round-up. And in the casting of camouflage nets on the products, when the satellite flew over, he himself took part.

        The border zone has not disappeared, on the contrary, it has even increased. In Soviet times, it was 5 km, now it has become - 7 km. Many sections of roads constructed then now fall into the restricted area, some villages too. And the border guards have a new sport. They go to such a section of the road, put up a barrier and catch the "violators". This usually happens on weekends when people go to visit or pick mushrooms, or just relax. You will not, because of a one-time passage along a section of a road, draw up a pass.

    It can be added that true breakthrough technologies have not only a dual purpose - they have complex purposes.
    This is in addition to military and civilian applications, there should be a scientific research application for the expanded development of the basis for the use of such discoveries. These achievements should open up near and far perspectives and research and already use individual technologies. Therefore, theoretically, those people who should and can do this should also have the potential of geniuses. Therefore, Mikhail Kovalchuk, obviously, is worthy to lead such an organization.

    The main tasks of the new military technopolis "Era" will be the development of artificial intelligence, supercomputers, robots and much more. The scientific center of the Ministry of Defense of Russia is created in two stages.

    The first will take about two years, from 2017 to 2018. During this time, the military department will form the basic infrastructure and organize its work. The second stage, scheduled for the period from 2019 to 2020, will already be devoted to creating a complete production chain: from idea to implementation, the press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation writes with reference to the head of the Era technopolis Fedor Dedus.

    Earlier in the forum, Artificial Intelligence: Problems and Solutions, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu called on military and civilian scientists to join forces in developing AI. This technology will ensure the technological and economic security of the country.

    In turn, Deputy Minister Yuri Borisov added that computer intelligence is simply necessary in modern cyber warfare. He will be able to quickly work with huge volumes of information and search for the necessary data. Which ultimately will give a huge advantage in conflicts that unfold in the virtual space.
    It’s almost built, the “stools” began to build the truth for something else, and so big a center is not drawn to the city

      It is very good that the higher echelons of power understand that without methods for analyzing large amounts of data, the future tends to chaos, like numerical sequences to indefinite infinity

    It occurred to me under the beer: to collect several directions of development in one place is not right. One "creak", and everyone knows everything. Whether the matter was at home - hundreds of institutes over a dozen time zones! No spies will save laughing drinks

    Skolkovo is a pump for pumping money out of the budget. There Ponomarev for allegedly "lectures" received hundreds of thousands of dollars. Chubais and Medvedev and others oversaw this project. Results on the face of Russia. May God grant Shoigu health and good luck.
