Abstract: Gorbachev has exposed science to the same pressure for restructuring as all other sectors of Soviet society, as there has been an increasing recognition of poor scientific returns on a major investment. Some of the key problems of Soviet science are examined, in two basic categories: problems which are internal to Soviet science itself and problems of its relations with the outside world. The first category includes planning and funding difficulties, management style, and management-staff relations; the second, backwardness in key technologies and isolation from the world scientific community. The analysis of each of these areas of difficulty includes an account of current attempts at reform.

The Medvedev Papers
TL;DR: It is a great disappointment to me not to come to your country and participate personally in the very important and interesting Symposium in Sheffield but the stupidity of the whole arrangement system here, based on the law of counteraction much more than the laws of cooperation, was stronger.
