2021 IS THE YEAR OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
IN RUSSIA
• RUSSIA IS A STATE THAT CREATES NOT ONLY HISTORY, BUT ALSO A STOREHOUSE OF KNOWLEDGE
THAT THE WHOLE WORLD USES. RUSSIAN SCIENTISTS HAVE NOT ONLY MADE DISCOVERIES IN
VARIOUS FIELDS OF SCIENCE – FROM PHYSICS TO OPHTHALMOLOGY – BUT HAVE ALSO FOUND
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS FOR THEIR SCIENTIFIC THEORIES AND INVENTIONS. THE PATH OF
DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN LONG, SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES ALLOW SOCIETY TO DEVELOP AND IN
EVERYDAY LIFE ENJOY THE FRUITS OF THE WORKS OF THE GREATEST SCIENTISTS AND MULTIPLY THE
EXPERIENCE ACCUMULATED OVER THE CENTURIES. THE DISCOVERIES MADE EARLIER ARE THE
