The seminar, sponsored by the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia, will feature briefings from senior U.S. and German embassy officials. The cost is $150 for the first two days, $20 for the third. American Chamber of Commerce, International Press Club and German M002 club members pay $100 for the first two days, $10 for the third.
"The idea behind this is we are trying to show people that there is a safe way to live in Moscow without overdramatizing the effects of crime," said Sean Brown of the American Chamber of Commerce.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
