"During his presidential campaign Dmitry Medvedev proposed to the voters the 'Four I's' model: institutions, infrastructure, innovations and investment - four components which are crucial to modernizing the country.

We'll be talking about it with Thomas Nastas, the president and founder of Innovative Ventures Incorporated." - RTTV presenter Al Gurnov
