3rd of 4 letters to Putin's inner circle

My name is Travis Lee Bailey. Some background on who I am. I am a Washington, DC lawyer living here in Moscow for approximately the past 3 years. My career ambitions are two pronged. First, I either will work for a Russian think tank such as the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies (RISS) in consulting or writing policy papers on how Russia can subvert the United States economically.

Alternatively we will create our own state-sanctioned Russian think tank to abolish copyright in Russia among other activities.

According to Russian academics you are influential with President Vladimir Putin. Therefore, the reason I am writing you is that I want to make a policy suggestion. I propose that the Russian Federation abolishes copyright. The more copyright law is weakened abroad, the weaker America is economically and therefore militarily.

In 2016 the U.S. Commerce Department released a comprehensive report entitled, “Intellectual Property and the U.S. Economy: 2016 Update,” which found that Intellectual Property intensive industries support at least 45 million U.S. jobs and contribute to more than $6 trillion dollars (38 percent) of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). This study points to the fact that Russia can cripple the United States by abolishing copyright.

On Saturday, January 11, 2020, I was blessed to meet the founder of SciHub, Russian citizen Alexandra Elbakyan. Ms. Elbakyan has created an illegal pirated database of all of the research papers ever written. It is estimated that 80% of all of the world's research papers are on the SciHub webpage. This database has not only revolutionized science by freeing the monopoly of information that the United States holds, it has crippled the American's academic industry. SciHub can be expanded.

The Russian Federation has earmarked 2 billion rubles to the Большая Российская энциклопедия (https://greatbook.ru/publishers/contacts.html) to create Russia's own Wikipedia. Without copyright, this Wikipedia could be the modern day Library of Alexandria, catapulting Russian science and prestige on the world stage. I strongly suggest that you consult with Ms. Elbakyan on this project. I would also be happy to assist in any way possible.

In this time of radical change in the government this month, I wish you and your staff only my best wishes.

Sincerely,

Travis Lee Bailey, Esq.
