History of Palms & Company, Inc. 1934-1997

Russia is a totally unpredictable evironment, where business can be done only if one is fully aware of the traps and pittfals. None of the assumptions generally made about business are warrented. You will be held to contracts while those you contract with may assume they can unilaterally modify their commitments.

Here are some of the prevailing conditions:

• Rule of law is absent. More importantly what the law is, is under control of lawless interests.
• Those you do business with are unable to protect your interests if they are inclined to do so. If not inclined to do so they may bring about the creation of laws which permit them to breach their contract with you.
• Laws granting you rights may be retroactively rescinded.
• Cuturally the right to an ROI may be viewed as justified only if there is a physical presence and participation in working in the business and not independently thereof as a return on capital.
• The custom of requiring bribes in order to gain access to your legal rights, is a common practice
• The custom of requiring the payment of protection money is prevails
• Insurance is unobtainable, excepet foreign risk coverage such as OPIC
