Russian Science and Technology Policy to Counter Sanctions: In Search of a Strategy

The article examines the scientific and technological policy of contemporary Russia in the conditions of international sanctions and analyzes both current general issues of the development of science and technology and problems in certain areas of scientific knowledge. We have studied special legal sanction acts of foreign academic organizations. The authors have developed and proposed mechanisms to counter sanctions in the scientific and technological sphere. The experience of applying measures for the development of science in the People’s Republic of China has been studied. The goal of the work is to conduct research on the state of modern science, taking into account the current Russian state policy under conditions of sanction pressure and proposing the authors’ unique classification of measures to support the development of Russian science. We used empirical methods of comparison, description and interpretation; theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic. We also applied special scientific methods: legal and dogmatic method and the method of interpretation of legal norms. The authors have summarized the problems of government measures to support science under the sanction conditions and proposed measures to preserve the scientific sovereignty of Russia.
