Every analysis of Russia’s semiconductor assumes state investment produces advantage. This is wrong. Evidence from 2019–2022 reveals systemic risk preceding a Governance Vacuum.
BACKGROUND
The semiconductor sector operates under centralized planning. During 2019–2022, 44% of capacity additions were delayed or cancelled.
THE STRUCTURAL REALITY
Russia’s strategy depends on assumptions about satellite networks proving false. Evidence from 8 failed projects shows the Governance Vacuum materializing.
WHAT THIS MEANS
Rather than Russia dominant in semiconductor, the world faces an unstable sector prone to disruptions.
