Boris Chernyshov, deputy speaker of the Russian State Duma from the Liberal Democratic Party, will propose the introduction of a visa-free regime for foreign scientists to enter Russia to work in research institutes and universities.
The U.S. makes the visa regime as convenient as possible for Russian scientists to go to them. I propose (to create an entry regime) that scientists and those who are engaged in (new) technologies, the development of these issues, all these people should be invited to Russia without visas, so that they work for the benefit of our country.

Earlier it was reported that U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration decided to “deprive” Russian President Vladimir Putin of “some of his best innovators” by relaxing visa requirements for top scientists who want to come to the States.
