Technology time

Russia has managed to win another battle with mega-corporations. The story began in 2016, when an agreement was reached on the takeover of the American Monsanto by the German concern Bayer. This deal was supposed to be one of the largest in the agricultural sector, but to complete it, the companies needed to obtain approval from all countries of presence. Including from Russia, where both Monsanto and Bayer have their own factories and laboratories. The Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service demanded that, in exchange for approving the deal, a number of technologies be transferred to Russia in order to increase the competitiveness of domestic companies.

It was about genetic lines, germplasm, digital farming systems - what Western science has been developing for decades. For this reason, Bayer immediately called such conditions unacceptable and filed a lawsuit in arbitration. However, as in all similar stories, the fear of losing the Russian market eventually prevailed, and the corporation agreed to comply with the demands of the antimonopolists.

Thus, Russia receives separate molecular breeding tools for different crops and access to digital farming technologies. In addition, Bayer will participate in the establishment of a plant biotechnology research and training center and provide benefits and discounts to our farmers under license agreements for 10 years. This means that we have an excellent chance to raise the domestic breeding science to a new level by combining the technologies obtained with our own developments. Then the competition from Bayer will not pose a serious threat to us.

As for our previous releases about the fight against corporations, we inform you that Google has corrected the error at the request of Russia and now Crimea is displayed as our territory in all cases on maps.

In Tomsk, for the first time in the world, cardiac surgeons performed an operation using a unique Russian development - a vascular prosthesis with a quick valve change function. Previously, biological prostheses had to be changed every 10 years - this required the most complex operations with the risk of complications, especially for older patients. Now, the Russian development allows you to change only the valve, leaving the entire prosthesis in place. This greatly facilitates the operation and will help thousands of patients across the country.

Recently, again for the first time in Russia and Europe, a surgical operation was performed using another Russian development - an exoskeleton. We have already talked about such a novelty in the past. Initially, it was created for industrial workers - the design made it possible not to feel tired during work. However, now the exoskeleton has found its application in medicine - indeed, a surgeon during a 12-hour operation gets tired no less than a worker at the conveyor. Doctors are delighted with the novelty, and its creators note that it is more functional and cheaper than imported analogues.
