I am pretty sure Russia would be fine even without recourses
for readin 4th graders are the only study released
despite russias economy based on recourses it makes more patents than germany maybe almost 3 times.
University level is BS, according to this the UK should be the uber innovative and smart country because of oxford and other universities they are far away from that. Most of the universities have also foreign students its just for small elites not average person of the countries.
I am unsure what you thought you were accomplishing by reposting the pictures from the video. As I have already shown everyone, your vaunted rankings came from 4th graders. Or am I mistaken and this forum finds that impressive and a worthy measurement?
How on earth is the higher learning tier BS in regards to the national education system, particularly in the background of you talking about 4th graders...
If you want to talk about patents we can do that. Understand the different factors (resident, non resident, abroad, domestic, granted vs filed).
In terms of patents:
Russia (wipo.int/ipstats/en/statistics/country_profile/countries/ru.html)
Germany (wipo.int/ipstats/en/statistics/country_profile/countries/de.html)
South Korea (wipo.int/ipstats/en/statistics/country_profile/countries/kr.html)
Here we can see several things. We can see very few patents granted abroad for Russia, completely opposite for Germany, We can see in regards to patents in force, Germany and South Korea have several times that of Russia.
In regards to the pic itself, it has little meaning. That pic was generated with these parameters about filing offices. If you look carefully you would see those ahead of Russia are Japan, US, China, Korea and Europe. Russia did not do better than other European countries just because they applied to the European office.
Again see Great Britain (wipo.int/ipstats/en/statistics/country_profile/countries/gb.html) as of 2011 had over 270,000 more patents in force than Russia.
A true measure of innovative quality by people of origin would be this.

The true innovators in patents, you can see top the ranks both in their country and abroad. Having your patent granted abroad internationally is the true test, not in your own country.
Look at science, mathematics, and literacy rate. Russian students rank amongst the highest in all levels. Russia also produces some of the highest college graduates per capita.
And most of those rankings are bias and have more to do with prestige factor. In the International collegiate programing contest Russians have dominated.
Russian students have won the competition while facing over 2,300 teams from more then 80 countries. The students from universities that were "ranked" as "top universities" have been beaten by Russian students from universities that were supposedly inferior.
Ironically Saint Petersburg State University hold the record for the most wins of any school. So how is it that Russian universities are beating the #1 ranked schools in the world on a yearly basis?
Again, you do not and that was for 4th graders.
Source for your college graduate per capita claim?
The ranking methodology is clear. If you have an issue please reference a specific section of their methodology that you find in error.

These universities are ranked according to a multitude of factors. Pointing out Russia does well in programming challenges does very little. Also the ACM contest is one among many such contests.
