Russia will spend about $1.5 billion on developing fundamental science in the next three years, President Vladimir Putin announced Friday.

The money would be invested under the aegis of the recently created Russian Science Foundation, Putin told a presidential council and science and education.

"Expenditures on science as part of federal target programs should focus on support of applied research, on creation of specific scientific developments," Putin told the council.
