The Department of Commerce works actively to remove unnecessary obstacles to trade and investment, foster commercial cooperation, and facilitate American involvement in this region. Since the publication of the fourth installment of the Directory, we have continued our efforts to alert U.S. industry to opportunities in Russian defense conversion. For example, the U.S. Department of Commerce, together with the Agency for International Development and U.S. Departments of Defense and Energy, sponsored an Entrepreneurial and Defense Conversion Conference in Yekaterinburg, Russia from May 20-24, 1996. More than 40 U.S. business representatives and over 150 Russian representatives from the Urals participated in the conference and held business discussions about opportunities in central Russia. Through other Commerce efforts, such as the Special American Business Internship Training (SABIT) program, the Commercial Service officers, the Business Information Service for the New Independent States (BISNIS). and the American Business Centers, we have also supported the development of business ties between U.S. firms and converting Russian defense enterprises. Equipped with this installment of the Russian Defense Business Directory . American firms can access a wealth of business opportunities available in Russia. In doing so, they are equipped with the information to promote trade, investment, and free market know-how necessary to help speed Russia's transition to a market economy. ">•»-. We encourage American companies to pursue vigorously the opportunities this Directory unveils. By doing so, they will advance the long-term goals of both nations—democracy, market reform, economic prosperity, and peace. Barry E. Carter . CONSULATE GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA As U.S. Consul General in St Petersburg, Russia, I am very pleased that this edition of the U.S. Department of Commerce Russian Defense Directory is highlighting the City of St Petersburg and surrounding Leningrad Oblast . St Petersburg and the neighboring region have been at the heart of the Russian defense industrial complex since before the Russian Revolution in 1917. Today they are playing a leading role in the privatization process and development of a dynamic market economy in Russia; however, the major enterprises and institutes of this city and region face the difficult task of applying their defense technologies to civilian use. If they are to survive, they must shift their resources to producing consumer products which satisfy the needs of the Russian consumer and can compete on the world market American firms are in a special position to cooperate with Russian enterprises in this effort since many American firms also are facing the challenge of defense conversion. American companies are world leaders in the management skills which Russian firms require. At the same time American firms now have access to a wide range of Russian technologies which can be developed to mutual benefit for the Russian and American economies. This directory is part of the U.S. Government's efforts to assist Russian and American firms in the defense conversion process. It offers a wide range of information which can help American companies identify business opportunities and potential partners. I encourage American firms to take advantage of the enclosed information to investigate this market. I and my staff at the U.S. Consulate stand ready to support your efforts. JBin^erelv, ohn M .

First, the Leningrad Region is the shortest sea link from the West to Russsia's enormous internal market. Second, the region is an active leader in industrial privatization and in private sector development. In addition, the Leningrad Region is endowed with a relatively well developed infrastructure and is rich in the availability of highly skilled specialists of most every profession. All these factors make the Leningrad Region a very attractive place to do business. In today's intensely competitive business world smart decision-making depends on quality sources information. I beleive that this publication will assist entrepreneurs and investors in understanding more fully the business environment in the Leningrad Region; it will also decrease their risk. Our region's enormous investment potential and rich cultural traditions combine to create a very favorable environment for mutually beneficial cooperation.

Business cooperation with American companies can be of great assistance to Russian enterprises as they enter the world market. The joining of our defense industry's high technologies and American experience in marketing and trade will help us save jobs which is the major goal of the St Petersburg administration. The main purpose of this directory is to help American companies locate appropriate enterprises for cooperation. Previous editions of the directory have already resulted in several cases of such cooperation. I wish the readers of this directory success in finding business partners in St Petersburg' Alexey L.

This report is the culmination of a two and one-half month review of preparations in Russia for the Phase 1A missions (Soyuz TM-21, Mir 18 Main Expedition, and STS-71). Once again the Task Force received tremendous support from many individuals and organizations at NASA. The same applied to our site visits in Russia where we were met with an openness and candor which served to reinforce our confidence in the ultimate success of the upcoming missions. Over the next two months, the Task Force will be focusing its efforts in two areas. The first are the preparations for STS-71, including the status of the Orbiter Docking System and the analysis of data produced by the STS-63 mission. The second area is the NASA and NASA contractor presence in Russia, including the interaction of Phase 1 and Phase 2 personnel, NASA and contractor functions, and the transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2.

    The City’s Memory: Texts of Preservation and Loss in Imperial St. Petersburg Julie Buckler, Harvard University Petersburg's imperial-era chroniclers have displayed a persistent, paradoxical obsession with this very young city's history and memory. Count Francesco Algarotti was among the first to exhibit this curious conflation of old and new, although he seems to have been influenced by sentiments generally in the air during the early eighteenth century. Algarotti attributed the dilapidated state of the grand palaces along the banks of the Neva to the haste with which these residences had been constructed by members of the court whom Peter the Great had obliged to move from Moscow to the new capital: [I]t is easy to see that [the palaces] were built out of obedience rather than choice. Their walls are all cracked, quite out of perpendicular, and ready to fall. It has been wittily enough said, that ruins make themselves in other places, but that they were built at Petersburg. Accordingly, it is necessary every moment, in this new capital, to repair the foundations of the buildings, and its inhabitants built incessantly; as well for this reason, as on account of the instability of the ground and of the bad quality of the materials.1 In a similar vein, William Kinglake, who visited Petersburg in the mid-1840s, scornfully advised travelers to admire the city by moonlight, so as to avoid seeing, “with too critical an eye, plaster scaling from the white-washed walls, and frost-cracks rending the painted 1Francesco Algarotti, “Letters from Count Algarotti to Lord Hervey and the Marquis Scipio Maffei,” Letter IV, June 30, 1739.

First it was called a comprehensive strategic partnership.[iii] More recently in November 2018 President Putin called it a ‘privileged strategic partnership.’[iv] Both these formulations sound like attempts to deceive foreign observers as to the alliance’s real nature. Thus Putin described comprehensive strategic partnership as follows: As we had never reached this level of relations before, our experts have had trouble defining today’s general state of our common affairs.

This research is an attempt to make the analysis of possible solutions to the problem of the land where the Okhta Center was to be constructed. The authors studied the case from the historical, practical and cultural sides. In order to find out the current public opinion on this matter two surveys were held both among St Petersburg residents and foreign guests of the city. The main aims of this article were to find the solutions, that would lead to improvement in the cultural and social level of St Petersburg citizens’ life. The possible outcomes of this research are increasing incomes of the city budget, raising the status of the city and the development of Krasnogvardeisky region of St. Petersburg. 1 Introduction The Nowadays the society needs to balance historic, cultural and modern urban aspects of the life of the city. Sometimes it means that every aspect could destroy another just because of the opportunity of the future profit from it. Of course, the profit is not only money matter, but also involves the reputation of the city and region in general, that also could reflect the economic stability of the region and nearby areas.
