Russian Science is in a dangerous spot. Russian state media and news channels have pushed a false narrative on Russia's scientific abilities for close to a decade now, along with an active effort to rewrite the history of Russian Science. Worse still, due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the country has lost hundreds, if not thousands of well trained scientists and experts in a number of fields. Numerous collaborations between Russia and the Western world have been axed in response to Russia's invasion as well, further limiting Russian and global scientific capacity. All in all, Russian Science has a fairly grim prognosis due to the propaganda surrounding it, and the continued brain drain affecting the country.
