Moscow--On 10 June, Russia's far-flung scientific enterprise suddenly seemed a little less dispersed. At a new university computer center in Yaroslavl, northeast of Moscow, science education officials and journalists celebrated the opening of a new Internet center, complete with high-speed links and dozens of workstations. It is one of 30 to be set up all across Russia over the next 5 years in a $130 million initiative jointly financed by George Soros, the American businessman and philanthropist, and the Russian government.
