Business Links
Do some "desk research" via these links.
- BISNIS
- Yes folks, it is your tax dollars at work! The US Dept of Commerce's
"Business Information Service for the Newly Independent States" is a
comprehensive starting point for a strange array of information - some helpful, some
marginal (you want to know about energy efficient windows - great!).
- Informica
- Moscow based web site offering a mini-yellow pages in English and a business yellow
pages in Russian.
- Russian
Business & Trade Connections
- Monthly magazine with some business articles and market analysis. Not much
content, but a nice archive of back issues.
- PACIFIC Exchange Rate Data
- This is the one of the best exchange rate data service that we've found yet on the
Internet, handicapped only by not giving realtime rates (they are usually a day old).
Not only does it give daily rates but it also has excellent charting for historical
and cross-currency rates. Now, if only it could predict the future! Note that
there is no such thing as an absolute exact exchange rate, but this gives a consistent
base from which to observe relative movements and trends.
- Traveller's Yellow Pages Online
- Very comprehensive listings of Moscow and St Petersburg businesses.
- The St Petersburg Times
- Our favorite English-language Russian newspaper, published in our favorite Russian city.
Nicely presented, weekly updates.
- The Moscow Times
- A sister publication to the St
Petersburg Times. Another good English language source of current
information.
- Russian-American Chamber of Commerce
- A comprehensive source of info from a
valuable organisation. Go have a look if you think it might be of value to
your operation. Includes excerpts from their magazine.
- RIS Publications
- The best source for books, maps, videos, etc on Russia. An essential source of
stuff prior to any journey to Russia. Also publish Russian Life
magazine - glossy and non substantive, but good background reading.
- Palms
& Co
- An interesting site maintained by a
gentleman that has had lengthy and occasionally challenging, complex
involvement with Russia at many levels for a long time. His email
newsletter gives an opinionated commentary on some of Russia's very real
challenges.
- Russia
Online
- Provide a useful service for people
visiting Russia and wanting Internet access. Click on the Services
button and follow the obvious choices from there for more details.

obtaining visas to the US

Immigration Site
