The question of a window on the West settles for Russia.

Portrait: special guest - G rard Lutique
Origin: Seen again Objective is / summer, 2003
By meeting men of ground having a strong experience of the Russian market, Objective is follows its reflexion on the development of the French-Russian current of business: to illustrate these purpose we met G rard Lutique, consultant specialised in the agroindustrial industrial process, from research of raw materials to the distribution-logistics, by accomplishing studies of development and industrial redeployment. He speaks to us about his 10 years of experience in Russia, notably for march and Danone.
OE: How were you led to work in Russia?
G rard Lutique: Of training engineer, my professional course was centered to a great extent around industrial missions (strategies and studies of industrial establishment). I participated in the seventies in the development of concept of Risk-management . This concept must allow to take into account existent risks, but also risks generated during a strategical definition.

Opportunities for the French firms
A considerable potential: Mendeleev and Mac Gyver for less than 500 USD a month.
Even if they think that the number of persons occupied by R&D's activities was divided by 2 in 10 years, Russia still has a considerable technological and scientific potential. First of all, the level of Russian science, who could attain excellence in many fundamental domains as applied, is not any more to prove. Certainly, she had her lacunas, notably in electronics, and she endured from departure towards l foreigner of more than 200 000 researchers (that is about 15 % totals), among the best that counted the country, but as well as the Russian capitals return today in Russia, it is possible to bet that the Russian researchers, often very tied to their country, will come back there when they will finally be able to live there correctly on their job. Besides, because of a shortage extended during Soviet period, Mac-Gyver drowses in any Russian, and the engineers and other technicians do not have their same to find ingenious and pragmatic solutions in complex questions. Finally, the wages of the researchers and Russian engineers are about ten times inferiors to those practiced in France, returning very delightful the activities of R&D NOT VERY FOND OF GOOD FOOD in capitals.

The birth of a modern science in Russia, goes back up at the time of Peter the Great, which creates the Academy of sciences in 1725, and favours education of mathematics and physical sciences, to fill Russian delay up in relation to Western Europe, notably in military and naval domains. This dynamics will be followed by Catherine II, who encourages the creation of universities, and in varying degrees by her successors, throughout the XIXth century. Thanks to these efforts, Russia can demand at the dawn of the XXth century, the existence of a scientific established community which counts big names such the mathematicians Lobatchevsky, Liapunov, and Ostrogradsky, the chemists Mendel ev and Vernadsky, or the physiologist Pavlov, Nobel prize of medicine for its jobs on the animal conditioning.
