This business bilingual colour publication is devoted to cooperation between the two countries in business and tourism and is published in partnership with the Embassy of Finland and the trade enterprise Visit Finland. The supplement opens with an interview with the ambassador of Finland Matti Anttonen, which addresses the most important political and economic issues in Russian and Finnish relations. These relations have changed a lot since the days when Finland was part of the huge Russian empire and can be said to be still forming today. The section on tourism is devoted to new opportunities that Finland offers for Russian guests. The focus is on the capital Helsinki and the historic town of Porvoo. Apart from traditional winter tours Finland offers a wide range of opportunities for travel and recreation, from historic monuments to shopping and a multitude of spas that rank alongside the best resorts of the world for level of service and range of products. Our journalists have prepared an overview of the best routes to take and practical recommendations for those who pick Finland as the place for their next holiday. The Business section presents articles about key business projects involving Russia and Finland. Overview of Russian and Finnish companies in the industrial and construction sectors, information about planned projects to broaden Finnish companies' presence in Russia. Special reporting on the development of high technology in the area of ecology and leading Finnish companies' projects that have an effect on Russian business in this area. Material about the transport infrastructure that is undergoing serious positive changes in 2010 in connection with the planned construction of the new high-speed rail connection between St. Petersburg and Helsinki, and also other major transport projects. The supplement ends with the traditional section Vox Pop, offering frank commentary from Finnish entrepreneurs about doing business and living in Russia. The supplement is distributed in Moscow and St. Petersburg together with the newspapers The Moscow Times, Vedomosti, The St.Petersburg Times and Vedomosti St. Petersburg. A discount on distribution is running in Finnair offices and also in the recently-opened House of Finland in St. Petersburg. |
