As a result, the highly educated scientific workers of universities and academic institutes readily tackled problems associated with sophisticated military equipment and weapons-related work or left their establishments to join scientific organizations of the military industrial complex. Other factors conducive to this process included better provision of such work with material and technical resources and scientific equipment, as well as a higher salary.

These conditions include a number of possibilities for scientists: quickly implementing the scientists proposals and development projects in civilian industrial sectors and thereby improving their financial position, publication of papers and books in prestigious journals and by prestigious publishing companies to allow Russian scientists to gain international recognition; use of modern experimental research equipment; receiving a higher salary compared to that which scientists had when working for the military-industrial complex. These opportunities should be realized in two stages: the first stage, a tactical one, calls for immediate solutions and comparatively limited material and financial resources; · the second stage, a strategic one, is associated with large investments.

All these measures are united by the need for openness and transparency of research programs and results to the world scientific community. The major method is by creating collaborative research programs and, accordingly, establishing joint groups of participants in research with the right to carry out individual stages of these programs, or the programs in their entirety, at scientific institutions in both Russia and the United States.

The main point is that Russian scientists do not need a specific kind of humanitarian or financial assistance from the United States or other market economy countries. They are interested in realizing their scientific potential and technological results in carrying out collaborative scientific programs and fulfilling orders of firms.
