Testimonials


"I would like to congratulate the Moscow Times on their 15th Anniversary. I was working in Russia when the Times was first launched so it’s a pleasure to see its tremendous development over this period. The Moscow Times is at a very professional level and is an excellent first read in the morning to stay abreast of latest developments. More importantly, we have enjoyed several years of partnership and cooperation with the Times on joint conferences and seminars on topics important to the market and to foreign investors."

Alexander Golts: Cold War Repeats as Farce
Marx has often been attributed with the famous quote that history repeats itself first as a tragedy and second as a farce. I'm not sure if the 40-year Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States can be called a historical tragedy, but the games Russia's leaders are playing now definitely resemble a farcical repetition of the Cold War.
