More and more, Russian books on business and economics are not translations, but instead the original works of Russian specialists. However naive, biased or simply wrong they might seem to foreign businessmen, they are interesting in that they show the level of professionalism of their Russian counterparts, and at least for this reason are very much worth reading.
Such books can be purchased in special sections of larger bookstores, the three best being "Dom Knigi" on Novy Arbat, "Biblioglobus" on Myasnitskaya Ulitsa, and "Moskva" on Tverskaya. Or, the place to find books on business all in one place is the specialty bookstore "Biznes-Kniga" at 19 Bolshaya Ordynka Street, Building 2.
Here are two new arrivals at Biznes-Kniga:
Investments and Business Activities Book: Investor's Reference Book, published by Tsentropoligraph, 200 pages. It covers such areas as: the current state of reforms in Russia, regulation of foreign investment in Russia, types of property and privatization in Russia.
Foreign Capital in Russia. Answers to Some Practical Questions, published by the International Academy of Information, 86 pages. Among the questions it asks are: Will Russia be saved by a traditional solution to the crisis, i.e., by foreign capital? What can international financial organizations do in Russia? Private foreign capital in Russia -- reality or myth?
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.
