Russia lacks top-rate scientists ­ -- Medvedev - www.russiatoday.com - May 24, 2011

Russia Today reports that, while meeting with scientists, Russian President Dimitry Medvedev voiced concern over Russian higher education not creating enough graduates who are true professionals or scientists, negatively impacting scientific and economic development.

The article added:

The lack of highly-professional personnel, for instance, is one of the stumbling blocks in the development of science and, thus, in modernizing Russia's economy. As was pointed out at the meeting, despite a large number of university graduates, it is still difficult to find 20 young professionals who would be skilled enough to work in laboratories in Skolkovo ­ the Russian tech hub located outside Moscow.

Among his concerns were the "mixing of genres" and whether Federal Law No. 94 has impeded progress.
Medvedev also raised the prospect of reshuffling some goverment positions by firing appointees.
