Hola Folks!
I have no doubt there is a wealth of talent all over Russia (and other
countries), just begging for the opportunity to work in their chosen
professions.
GM is extremely on top of it by working with these scientists. Friends
in Russia tell me some of these brilliant scientists and engineers are
reduced to selling ties on the streetcorner!
The late Victor Grebennikov wrote me he was only making $24US PER MONTH
in his retirement.
A smart investor or better yet, group of investors, would do very well
to go check out some of these people and hire them. No telling what all
they know from defunct military and other projects they would have
worked on with the Soviet regime.

10/28/05 - GM hires Russian nuclear scientists to develop new auto
technology
(I think this is a super smart move by GM and watch GM stock in future
as radical new technologies are revealed from Russian researchers! -
JWD) A new research and design center is planned for Moscow which will
focus on the development of batteries, fuel cells, hybrid and electronic
controls.
"The government encourages US companies to do business there and to
fully utilize the scientific talents there," GM spokeswoman Angele Shaw
told AFP. "They have a vast talent pool."
GM is looking to take advantage of US and European Union programs that
provide financial incentives to Russian scientists to develop peaceful
projects, including automobile propulsion systems.
"About three years ago we began to explore the possibility of conducting
research in the former Soviet Union," Alan Taub, executive director of
science at GM's research and development laboratories said in a statement.
"In a very short time, working with universities, academies and
scientific institutes, we saw world class results in key technologies."
