This seems to be one of the leading regions of Russia's new knowledge based economy. Russia Close-Up is one the best programs offered by RT. Save your resources for great programs such as Russia Close Up and cut out some the cheesy talk show programs such as one run by a young woman I cannot remember her name. Also, tell your U.S based correspondences to name their Russia colleagues by the name rather than addressing them with “ Hi there”!
