Testimonials
"Salans opened its Moscow office the same year as The Moscow Times was first published. For the foreign community, the existence of an independent English language newspaper was one of very few keys to understanding the business, political and cultural life of the country, and to follow the radical changes Russia was going through. Over the years, the newspaper has continued to develop its reputation as a highly regarded source of information, and a forum for different points of views, on the affairs of Russia and its neighbors."
