“Walking on ice. An American businessmen in Russia”

“Walking on ice. An American businessmen in Russia”
March 20, 2008

“In Russia, everything is difficult and everything is possible,” the author quotes a popular proverb. Based on over sixteen years of successful business in the evolving new Russia, Fred Andresen has written a book that is mandatory for all who plan to work there, make a serious visit, or just curious.   Written with insight, understanding, and a rare degree of humor, he tells us about working with and enjoying the Russians. Without ignoring all the well-publicized and vexing problems, it is romantic and accurate and nostalgic and prophetic and all of the wonderful and confusing and simple things the open-minded Westerner learns it to be. One reader said, “Finally a book that explains the Russian without having to read a thousand words.” One cannot put it down .

Russia and the United States: Pushing Tensions to the Limit?
Editorial
As Russia and the United States prepare for their respective presidential elections, tensions between the countries are growing. The central point of contention is U.S. ballistic missile defense (BMD) plans. Russia has several levers, including its ability to cut off supply lines to the NATO-led war effort in Afghanistan, to use in the standoff over BMD, but the United States could retaliate by supporting the current protests in Russia. Moscow is willing to escalate tensions with Washington but will not push the crisis to the point where relations could formally break.

Russia released a preliminary estimate for 2011 GDP growth on Tuesday - and at 4.3 per cent, it looks pretty healthy. The figure crept ahead of analyst expectations, buoyed by a strong recovery in consumer demand over the year, while 2010 growth was revised upwards, also to 4.3 per cent. Renaissance Capital was cautiously bullish, calling the forecast 'reason for a (modest) celebration'.
