Abstract
Twenty years ago Koltsovo was a typical single-industry town, and depended almost entirely on the activities of the State Center of Virology «Vector». Today it has a diversified economic base, and in terms of investment, trade, output, public expenditure per capita exceeds not only other cities, but also many industrialized regions of the Russian Federation. How such aMetamorphosis could have occurred? Why the settlement of Koltsovo doesn’t strive to obtain the status of the city? How it competes for labour force with nearby Novosibirsk and Akademgorodok? The mayor of Naukograd Koltsovo N.G.Krasnikov addresses those and many other issues.
