Russia's Business Stories on Harvard Symposium Website

Harvard University's annual U.S.-Russian Investment Symposium introduces a new Interviews feature on its website, http://www.usris.org.

The Interviews section will feature some of the most interesting business stories coming out of Russia today and seek to present a broad variety of opinions of business and government leaders changing Russia today.

Our first interview with Andrei Sterlin, Managing Director of Business Analytica, Russia's leader in market research, highlights the developments in Russia's consumer market. A segment of the Russian economy which rarely grabs headlines in the West, it is, according to Mr. Sterlin, "one of the most underestimated segments of Russia's economy"?and one of the most exciting investment opportunities in Russia.

For the last six years, U.S.-Russian Investment Symposium has been the forum of choice for those seeking to gain a deeper understanding of Russia's business climate. Each year, US-RIS brings together top government decision-makers, business leaders, and academics for three days of open, solution-oriented presentations, roundtable discussions, and private meetings.

We have an exciting list of interviews in store for you?and an exciting Symposium coming up in November. Please check back with http://www.usris.org for the latest interviews and the latest in the Symposium program.
