Russian Missile Experts Defects to RE

I used to read a lot about the cold war and the drama back in the 80s from fictional writers like Tom Clancy. I never realized it until now, but think about it for one minute. After the cold war and soldiers, agents, and even scientsts from both sides suddenly find themselves out of "work", where do you suppose they went?

This article from CNN partly explains where. Russian rocket scientists from Makeyev State Rocket Center near Russia's southern border has crossed to the other side, to renewables specifically wind energy!

Joining an American company called Wind-Sail who plans on establishing wind farms in San Francisco, about 99 Russian scientsts are now busy trying to create weapons of global warming destruction. Who would have known? If I heard this back in the late 80's, I would really think its an excellent work of fiction.
