Putin Vetoes Skolkovo Law

Russian President Vladimir Putin vetoed legislation passed by parliament on changes to the Skolkovo innovation hub, a project championed by Premier Dmitry Medvedev, threatening to widen a rift between the two men. The bill needs additional work to determine measures for evaluating the program’s effectiveness, the Kremlin said today in an e-mailed statement.  Skolkovo, unveiled in 2010 and based outside Moscow, was a hallmark of then President  Medvedev’s efforts to modernize the Russian economy.
