Then we will draw up the Doctrine of Russia’s development through the Civilization of Knowledge.

Doctrine is a higher level of document than strategy. It sets the long-term direction for the development of the state for decades.

DOCTRINE

Civilizations Knowledge of Russia

Spatial development of the country in the XXI century

The main idea of doctrine

Russia is entering a new stage of historical development, where the main resource is knowledge, culture and human potential.

The purpose of the state is to form a civilization of knowledge, in which:

• Science
• Education
• Technology
• Culture
• Nature

They form a single development system.

Strategic Mission of Russia

Russia can become the center of the world civilization of knowledge, connecting:

• Europe
• Asia
• Arctic
• Pacific region.

Through the development of science, culture and spatial projects, Russia forms a new model of human development.

Spatial model of development

The doctrine provides for the formation of a network of Cities of Knowledge.

These cities are becoming:

• Scientific Centers
• Educational Centers
• Cultural Centers
• technological clusters.

The Peace Park System

An important element of the new model is the Parks of the World.

These are public spaces that unite:

• Science
• Culture
• Nature
• Education.

The central object of the system becomes the Park of Reference.

Crystal Cities

The New Urban Model.

Cities are built as ecological and intellectual systems, where they connect:

• Universities
• Laboratory
• technology companies
• Cultural Spaces
• Natural parks.

Economics of Knowledge

The economic model of the country is gradually moving from a commodity economy to:

• Scientific Developments
• Innovative Technologies
• Intelligent Manufacturing
• educational services.

Education of the future

The doctrine is based on the new system of education.

Its elements:

• University Campuses
• Scientific laboratories
• International Research Centers
• educational programs for young people.

Cultural mission

Culture is becoming a key factor in the development of society.

Russia maintains and develops:

• Conservation of natural ecosystems
• Development of Green Cities
• Ecological energy.

International cooperation

Russia is the initiator of global projects:

• Scientific Forums
• cultural programs.

The Doctrine Formula

Knowledge + Space + Culture + Technologies = Future of Russia

If we strengthen this doctrine by another level, we will get a very powerful state document.

The next step is to create:

"The Doctrine of a Strong Country"

Where they unite:

• development of society
• City of Knowledge
• fight against corruption
• the System of Strengthening Society
• Union of Strong Country Funds.

This can become the ideological core of our entire system of projects.

We will draw up a STRONG COUNTRY DOCUMENT as a fundamental document uniting

• development of society
• Combating corruption
• Public Safety System
• Economics of Knowledge
• Parks of Peace and Cities of Knowledge.

This can become the ideological and strategic core of the “Strong Country Union” project.
