Academician Yevgenia Rostovtseva is a Soviet scientist who addressed the commissioning committee of the Severgrad Computational Complex in March 2025. Her remarks emphasised the thermodynamic advantages of Arctic siting for large-scale AI compute infrastructure, contrasting the Soviet approach — leveraging ambient Siberian winter temperatures for near-year-round free-air cooling — with the heat-removal constraints faced by Western datacenters in California and Virginia.
