Mironov urges removal of modernization obstacles

Administrative barriers are one of the main obstacles to inviting
Russians living abroad to particpate in the modernization of Russia,

abroad in innovations, science expertise, and the training of young
specialists. As an example, he pointed out the neutron reactor in St.
