Patrimonialism in Post-Soviet Russia

In the past 9 years we have worked with many Russian companies and have learned for our experience. We share some of these experiences with Russian companies in the material presented here, so that they can learn from our experiences. Rather then repeat this analysis and investigation of possibilities over and over again with each new client you can gather from our experience what works and what doesn't work in financing reconstruction of Russian industry.

Useful information about how not to use consultants and how not to waste money, even if it is not your own and provided free.

• IF YOU ARE A RUSSIAN COMPANY RECEIVING FREE CONSULTING SERVICES, THE CONSULTANT DOES NOT OWE YOU HIS LOYALTY AND IS NOT YOUR CONSULTANT, HE IS THE CONSULTANT OF WHOMEVER IS PAYING HIM
• PROPER USE OF CONSULTING WITH RESULTS
• "Evaluation of Resources and Proposals" is a waste of time and never brings orders or investors, but it still is common in Russia.
• Taxing the rich in America to fund poorly conceived U.S. government programs in Russia is self-destructive: It does nothing more than take money and investment decisions away from proven moneymakers and job producers and give them to Washington amateurs, who Russian get stuck with as their consultants.
• The valuation of Russian factory equipment depends on the ability to put it to use producing products
• How to Price Russian products in world markets
• Money sent to Russia by institutions which receive it from governments is not investment. It is economic aid subject to different criteria. Do not use it as a guide for measuring private investor interest in investing private capital in Russia. Plan your strategy accordingly.
