The project "Silicon Valley" in Skolkovo Vladislav Surkov, and Viktor Vekselberg could remain without innovators and federal money

Recent developments around the highly publicized project innograda Skolkovo ("Russian Silicon Valley") shows: the ideology of the project, the first deputy head of presidential administration Vladislav Surkov Russia unlikely to retain control over the situation. Now, according to government sources, increases the likelihood that the Russian government generally refuses to fund innograda Skolkovo. A huge budget, had counted on the team Surkov, may be transferred to a new ministry in charge of innovation and technological development, which may lead the executive secretary of the government commission on high technology and innovation Shchegolev.

Irina is daughter of Viktor.

The new ministry, it is likely reconsider plans to deploy a "silicon valley" in Skolkovo. According to government experts, it will be rather on the construction of multiple innovation centers, incubators based on the existing science cities and industrial parks: in Obninsk and Dubna and Tomsk and Novosibirsk. No accident that the text of the report of the Government, which Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced at the State Duma on April 20, at the initiative of Ministry of Finance has been included this snippet: "Given the weakness of institutional development in Russia, currently the focus should not be on the establishment and promotion of many development institutions (they are currently set up very much), and on creating conditions for their valuable work "and" need to focus on reducing the financial participation of the state in supporting innovation. " Most observers saw in this passage clear nod to the innograda Skolkovo and its creators.

Vladislav Surkov is trying to do everything possible to project innograda Skolkovo taken seriously - both in Russia and abroad. But it seems that such a problem to solve it failed. "Russian Silicon Valley" was the theme rather than serious commentary and research, many humorous anecdotes: Some wags even offer to create a work innograda shabashki among the Chechen, Ingush and Dagestani innovators, and the very "valley" renamed Sodom - a special object for the modernization of Russia .

Cause a lot of questions and first steps of an influential businessman Viktor Vekselberg, at the initiative of the same Surkov appointed head of the "Russian Silicon Valley". In a recent interview with the Vedomosti newspaper Vekselberg, quite frankly described the main "chip" and "fun" innograda. Firstly, the complete absence of any taxes. At least in the first 10 years of existence innograda. Second, the lack of legitimate government - and civil and military. Instead, the municipality must manage innograda a nonprofit foundation headed by Vekselberg. In "Silicon Valley" will have its own: the police, the tax service, the FSB, drug control and potrebnadzor. All these bodies will be withdrawn beyond the usual power vertical and subordinate leadership innograda. In fact, creates an internal offshore, beyond the control of anyone but Vekselberg and his team, and probably also the patron of their hardware - Surkov.

Vekselberg is not accidental interview to Vedomosti spawned a real scandal. Innograda immediately came under heavy criticism from professionals who understand the absurdity and danger of both domestic offshore. Ten-year tax holiday - an unprecedented, impressed President of the Chamber of Tax Consultants Dmitry Chernik: usually something to do - and ask for rebate in the year, and here, did nothing, asked for 10 years. For residents of the special tourism zone in the Krasnodar region in 2007 were provided tax holidays for five years, but the release was only on land, property and vehicle tax, and income taxes decreased by 4%.

This will only option corporation, ie, a trough, feared leader of Yabloko's Sergei Mitrokhin, and in the absence of local government (which is actually unconstitutional), its activities will be controlled completely.

Legislative field already plowed in creating state corporations, it is called individually and legal regulation, states Igor Nikolaev from FBK form of such subjects is not clear for investors, opaque, contradictory. As in the case of the corporation, after 2-3 years start asking whether it was justified, but if you can convert the state-owned corporation, what to do with the city, it is not clear.

As follows from the statements Vekselberg, would deal with this offshore in the first place, not a science or innovation, and the banal developing. According to Viktor Vekselberg, the first three and a half years in the offshore innograda plan to build housing, offices, banks, hospitals, schools, nurseries, etc. Taking into account the real growth of our construction, this means that the "Russian Silicon Valley" will be ready to take the first innovators in the best case, in late 2014 - early 2015. Until then, nor of any real scientific and innovative activity in Skolkovo say no. According to the president of the National Association of innovation and development of information technology (NAIRIT) Olga Uskov, he opted for Skolkov flawed for several reasons. It is a region with rich and high-neighbors and the high prices, where scientists will be difficult to rent at a reasonable price, and where they are unlikely to be comfortable to live. Uskova stressed that part of the necessary infrastructure in Skolkovo not done anything yet and is not built. In her opinion, much more logical it would draw attention to the left since the Soviet "science cities, where infrastructure, though not perfect, but it already is. In first place among science cities it shipped to Dubna - the famous town of nuclear physicists at the north-west of Moscow region.

By the way, to the top job innograda Skolkovo his supervisor Academician Jaures Alferov will be for 85 years. God forbid Jaures Ivanovich health, of course, to see the first results of the "Russian Silicon Valley".

While, however, the first result will be reached, probably in 2010: to build innograda Skolkovo planned to destroy the reality is a research institution - the Agricultural Research Institute "Nemchinovka. Vekselberg's team laid eyes on 200 hectares of land is now the experimental field of SRI. So Skolkovskoe innovative breakthrough will, apparently, by destroying one of the existing islands of Russian science. Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences (RAAS) has already sent a letter to President Dmitry Medvedev, which expressed concern about the possibility of "alienation of Agricultural Research" Nemchinovka "land to build on it innograda in Skolkovo. "First and foremost it involves the creation of domestic varieties of cereals and legumes and their primary seed. Will be destroyed over the years sozdavavshayasya unique logistical base for scientific research and remain unclaimed powerful human resource capacity of the Institute "- says in a letter to academics. The total area under cereal crops, plant breeders have been breeding institute reaches 8.5 million hectares. It is about 20% of the total area of crops in the country.

Obviously, to draw attention to innograda Skolkovo, Viktor Vekselberg, tried to invite the cooperation of the famous mathematician Grigori Perelman. Perelman has declined to immediately: apparently, his mathematical mind, he immediately perceived that he offered participation in a frank, "Panama". But did not give the other "great scientist" - a well-known political consultant and gallerist Marat Gelman. He will establish in the territory of the "silicon valley" of a "fleet of modern art." What Gelman good at master budgets for various actions, performances and festivals, has long been known. At least since 1999, when gallery owner managed the campaign of the candidate for mayor of Moscow, Sergei Kiriyenko. Just where do innovation and modernization? The ideologists of the "Russian Silicon Valley", it seems, really do not understand that inviting Gelman, make yourself project innograda in anecdote.

With innograda already associated another controversial character - Indian Rajat Kumar Gupta, who was to become the international coordinator of the project "Silicon Valley". In mid-April, U.S. officials suspected Gupta in illegal use of insider information by U.S. investment bank Goldman Sachs, a member of the board of directors was an Indian.

Now too adventurous innovator threatens 25 years in prison. And Viktor Vekselberg will immediately think about how to "clean up" has not yet built innograda from such dubious associations.

It is possible that after all the absurdities and scandals innograda initiative in creating the infrastructure of Russia's modernization will be transferred from Vladislav Surkov to the government - more precisely, to the newly created Ministry Igor Shchyogolev. And on land allocated under innograda Skolkovo will remain unless "park of modern art named after Marat Gelman. Well - it can also be considered a kind of modernizing achievement.
