He told police he had done it "just to give people a laugh." The Russian government's idea now seems...
...this atmosphere of distrust, it is unclear whether the Kremlin will be able to foster an open culture of innovation, which Berlin at Stanford calls the main ingredient in Silicon Valley's success. Kolesnikov agrees. "What developed around Stanford was an entrepreneurial culture," he says. "I don't know how you create that. I guess it's up to the government to set up some kinds of conditions and leave people alone, stop freaking them out. Maybe something will come...
