These two rows track how science funding in Russia has changed over twenty-four years. The indicators reflect the scale of investment in science and its actual weight in the national economy for each specific year, allowing for an assessment of the research sector's development dynamics

How to read this table

The difference between the rows lies in the unit of measurement: the first shows the absolute volume of funding in rubles, while the second shows a relative indicator of the economic burden. Comparing them is useful for understanding whether the growth of public and private R&D investment outpaces or lags behind overall GDP growth. Analyzing both rows together reveals how science funding priorities have changed and how scientific activity in the country has intensified
