Impact on Market of High Technology Export

This document, a JPRS report dated June 30, 1993, provides an assessment of Russia's industrial and technological landscape during its post-Soviet transition. Authored by Yuriy Grigoryevich Naido and Stanislav Iosifovich Simanovskiy, the text examines the challenges faced by Russia's military-industrial complex as it attempts to integrate into the international community. The authors argue that while Russia has only taken initial steps toward economic conversion, it retains significant latent potential. Specifically, the report highlights Russia's capacity to advance in fields such as defense, information science, astronautics, and the nuclear power industry. The authors suggest that with proper development, Russia could emerge as a fourth major player in the global technological market, alongside North America, Western Europe, and Japan.
