    Yandex (the Russian Google) was founded 1997, while Google itself was founded 1998. If venture capital was a bit more advanced Russia might've taken the place of Silicon Valley. A lot of innovation happened outside of US. What the US has perfected is "branding" and "scaling", and when it came to the internet those ended up being the most important skills.

      Cool story. But sorry you are completely mistaken.It’s widely known that google was by no means the web’s first popular search engine, in fact it actually was quite a late arrival to the search game, there were numerous other engines that preceded it (and yandax) by a considerable margin. Google didn’t become Google through being first.
      Secondly, if you think Silicon Valley is what it is today purely because of Venture Capital, “branding” and “scaling”, you really have no idea, and have also somehow managed the miss the entire underlying theme that ran through the video. Which was that an authoritarian country with deeply entrenched corruption and a dubious track record for adherence to the rule of law, is not a conducive environment for innovation or entrepreneurship. Prime example: One of the guys in the video ( the mail ru guy) had his entire company taken away from him, and another, (the last guy Ilya Sachkov) is currently in a Moscow prison charged with treason.
      People generally don’t want to found billion dollar companies in places where they can be extorted, confiscated or imprisoned at the drop of a hat for saying the wrong thing.
      Oh and “Russia could have taken the place of Sillicon valley if Venture capital was more advanced “ bahaaha, please, don’t make me laugh. Did you not catch the part of the video where he mentioned that even as late as2004, only 8% of Russians used the Internet?

      It's just normal that you haven't heard of it -- usage of Russia + fatherland in English cultural space is close to zero. In addition there are plenty of well known soviet war posts with the woman symbolizing Mother Russia. Whilst even I can't recall one single post with Russia depicted as a fatherland. But in Russian language there's родина (motherland) and отечество (fatherland). Take care.

    Otherwise the smart people just go an move on the places where they can apply their talent and be more productive.
    Russia was losing the smart people for a decade, the more jobs there are for the smart people, the more of them will stay in Russia, that and the money was probably the idea behind Skolkovo.

Потому что в США 43 миллиона нищих, а значит по твоей логике их страна вообще гнилое говнищще. Ты ведёшь себя оскорбительно, не надо так. Пиши лучше лично про себя, про то, что ты безнадёжный неудачник и всё такое, но не надо писать про целые страны, в таких масштабах ты явно некомпетентен.

    The map presented at 10:35 is wrong. Most traffic on the internet passes through a US based server, as much as 80%. So if someone in Russia wants to email someone else in Russia it is likely that it will pass through a US server on its way. In early 2000s Russian government placed several court approved requests for information and was refused by West based companies that operate in Russia. Because they claimed that the information is stored outside of Russian jurisdiction. As a solution Russia passed a law to force any company that operates in Russia to store information in Russia.
    Seams reasonable to me...

      Seems fair to me. After all, they're probably dodging taxes in their home country and that motivated the move. Plus, if they aren't spying on Russia or acting in someway against Russia, they shouldn't be too worried. And if things get scary, they can just shut down and uproot - quietly that is.

    • @relativelytired

      The US has also run into similar issues, especially with information out of the five eyes. However, they don’t respond by forcing these companies to cease operations or change locations. They don’t even bother prohibiting access to this content. This would only have the effect of limiting innovation and progress.

      agreed, the us has more power internationally and is more subversive and clever about it to the point that we are willing to ignore it. the corporations and their controllers alone are a greater weapon than any government as they have no isolated masters to hold accountable and still have their own hand in the governments pocket. at this point our government can get away with much more due to how easy it is to control the flow of information to the american public since our government rarely works to reveal wide scale corruption internally without also being interrupted internally. you have to be a foreign organization like wikileaks or straight up escape to whistleblow and not get incarcerated. we are also much more immersed in our virtual world than any other country, being the biggest content creator of the world, we create what we want to believe about our government. which can be paranoia, but the paranoia is becoming affirmed more often than the belief that none of this really matters. at least the russians truly know how fucked up shit is.

A merciless spy network such as KGB? It wasn't the core, not even counting the likely fact that they backlashed and put Kremlin in huge reputation crisis (along with the already complicated bad reputation associated with BOTH communism and Russian empire). It was because they had a lot of experts, especially in areas like STEM (but many great artists/literature experts, etc. existed too in Russia, especially in the Soviet period). Remember it was them, not USA who sent the 1st satellite and human being into the space. Just look around in USA institutions and industries. Is it that uncommon to see some Russian experts around? (Who are obviously educated in the former Soviet Union?) From my experience that is definitely a NO.

Obviously a city in the middle of Siberia is going to try and attract great minds through making it beautiful and providing a wonderful setting through which individuals can raise a family and pursue further academic interests. This isn't copying silicon valley.
