Globalization and the rapid advance of information technology have deeply aff ected the polit- ical and socio-economic environment, creating new opportunities along with new challenges. Now it is evident that to address emerging needs and combat upcoming challenges, businesses need to master the “human element” of change. In recent years we have seen signifi cant changes in the fi eld of human resources. Th eir role has grown considerably, and they are now recognized as a key function infl uencing business strategy. Russia’s markets are growing in volume so it is crucial for companies to understand what they should do to be an attractive employer and to manage eff ectively. According to the AEB–Gfk survey conducted in 2012, qualifi ed personnel along with large market potential and positive market developments are the key factors which attract foreign investment. In addition, Russia’s WTO accession is expected to facilitate investment, accelerate the modernization of the Russian economy and thus trigger the further development of the HR sector of the country's economy. Such a development is sorely needed, since effi ciency is the critical operational business issue today. However, work effi ciency in Russia is relatively low. As a consequence of the demographic crisis of 1990s, the lack of qualifi ed staff is a burning issue for some companies. Also, salary costs are increasing. In addition, the Russian labour code imposes quite some restrictions on business. Th ough there are many challenges to meet for foreign companies operating in Russia, the overall economic situation is positive. It means there are new opportunities available and new tasks to tackle. Th e AEB will take an active part in continuing to promote the interests of our member companies in Russia’s ever-changing commercial landscape. Th is edition of the AEB Business Quarterly features articles from leading experts in the HR sector in Russia. It will provide you with an insight into the Russian labour market, its legislative developments and much more. Enjoy reading!

  • What Is Russia Trying to Defend? ✩ Andrei Yakovlev
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Russian Journal of Economics 2 (2016) 146–161 www.rujec.org What is Russia trying to defend? ✩ Andrei Yakovlev Institute for Industrial and Market Studies, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow, Russia Abstract Contrary to the focus on the events of the last two years (2014–2015) associated with the accession of Crimea to Russia and military conflict in Eastern Ukraine, in this study, I stress that serious changes in Russian domestic policy (with strong pres­ sure on political opposition, state propaganda and sharp anti-Western rhetoric, as well as the fight against “foreign agents’) became visible in 2012. Geopolitical ambitions to revise the “global order” (introduced by the USA after the collapse of the USSR) and the increased role of Russia in “global governance” were declared by leaders of the country much earlier, with Vladimir Putin’s famous Munich speech in 2007. These ambitions were based on the robust economic growth of the mid-2000s, which en­ couraged the Russian ruling elite to adopt the view that Russia (with its huge energy resources) is a new economic superpower. In this paper, I will show that the con­ cept of “Militant Russia” in a proper sense can be attributed rather to the period of the mid-2000s. After 2008–2009, the global financial crisis and, especially, the Arab Spring and mass political protests against electoral fraud in Moscow in December 2011, the Russian ruling elite made mostly “militant” attempts to defend its power and assets. © 2016 Non-profit partnership “Voprosy Ekonomiki”.

  • Putin's New Russia
    PUTIN’S NEW RUSSIA Edited by Jon Hellevig and Alexandre Latsa With an Introduction by Peter Lavelle Contributors: Patrick Armstrong, Mark Chapman, Aleksandr Grishin, Jon Hellevig, Anatoly Karlin, Eric Kraus, Alexandre Latsa, Nils van der Vegte, Craig James Willy Publisher: Kontinent USA September, 2012 First edition published 2012 First edition published 2012 Copyright to Jon Hellevig and Alexander Latsa Publisher: Kontinent USA 1800 Connecticut Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20009 [email protected] www.us-russia.org/kontinent Cover by Alexandra Mozilova on motive of painting by Ilya Komov Printed at Printing house "Citius" ISBN 978-0-9883137-0-5 This is a book authored by independent minded Western observers who have real experience of how Russia has developed after the failed perestroika since Putin first became president in 2000. Common sense warning: The book you are about to read is dangerous. If you are from the English language media sphere, virtually everything you may think you know about contemporary Rus- sia; its political system, leaders, economy, population, so-called opposition, foreign policy and much more is either seriously flawed or just plain wrong. This has not happened by accident. This book explains why. This book is also about gross double standards, hypocrisy, and venal stupidity with western media playing the role of willing accomplice. After reading this interesting tome, you might reconsider everything you “learn” from mainstream media about Russia and the world.

  • Telfa-Conference-2013-Moscow.Pdf
    In conjunction with ® MOSCOW 6-8 JUNE GLOBAL LAW AND INVESTMENT FORUM MOSCOW 2013 INFORMATION PARTNERS GLOBAL LAW AND INVESTMENT FORUM MOSCOW FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE WELCOME TO MOSCOW. The Moscow Global Law Forum offers a series of educational programs and seminars on global law issues. These will be facilitatedy b top legal and investment experts from Russia and across the globe. The program is aimed at the local and expat business community and investors in Moscow; people who need to plan how to structure their international operations. This year we have paid special attention to questions of how to structure Russian inbound and outbound investments through offshore structures, and indeed, to the need of doing so in the first place. This is especially pertinent in view of the euro crisis and the financial upheavals that have shaken Cyprus and affected Russian and in- ternational offshore investors. For this purpose, we have brought in the best international specialists to explain what countries around the world have to offer. We will cover a broad range of jurisdictions: Asian, including Shanghai, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore, alaysiaM and Macau; European, including Switzerland, Cyprus, Malta, Luxembourg, the Baltics, the Netherlands and Ireland; and the USA. The concept “offshore” might be considered misleading. What we actually mean is how to structure your international holdings andinvest- ments in a global world. Therefore, we will also cover countries that are not traditionally considered as “offshore” but which nevertheless offer great incentives for investment. To this end we are holding the following seminars: Business and Investment Laws in the ordicN and Baltic Regions, and Business and Investment Laws in Central and East European Countries.
