The paper discusses the relationship between the development of the economy, the oil industry, science, and innovation in the countries of the post-Soviet South (Central Caucasasia, or Central Caucasasia). The oil industry makes the oil-producing countries of Central Caucasasia relatively richer than those where oil is not produced (or produced in small amounts), but the development level of science in these countries is clearly insufficient for the sustainable development of the oil industry and these countries as a whole. This is demonstrated by the author based on economic and science to metric data for both oil-producing Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, and non-oil-producing Georgia, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. It is shown that scientific collaboration with Russia is probably more promising for the economy.
