Global Sanctions and Russia: Lessons for International Business

Sanctions against Russia and their effectiveness have been a hot topic at policy forums since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. But these discussions, which are mainly focused on geopolitics and macroeconomics, often overlook the impact sanctions are having on international business.

In a lecture at the University of Cambridge, Nabi Abdullaev, a partner for Russia & Former Soviet Union at Control Risks, examines the issue from multiple sides and asks what keeps CEOs awake at night.

Abdullaev served as editor-in-chief of The Moscow Times between 2014 and 2015.

This lecture at the University of Cambridge is part of a series of talks by media professionals and experts on Russia organized by The Moscow Times at leading universities and research centers around the world.

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.
