Bessemer has promised investments worth $20 million over the next two years into startups that are resident at Skolkovo, while Cisco has dedicated an unspecified part of a $1 billion injection it is making into Russia over a number of years to build an R&D lab in the area -- part of big push from the government to take some of the technology know-how that Russia has been producing for decades and give it a significantly more commercial spin.
