Traveling to Russia or the CIS? Our knowledge, experience and expertise are at your disposal. For those who are interested in more than collecting matryoshkas, and are serious about doing business in Russia or the countries of the CIS, we can provide a wealth of practical information - from advice on cultural differences to housing, security, and accepted business practices. Russia offers unusual business opportunities, and we are here to help you make the most of them.
The Marquis de Custine, who traveled through Russia some 180 years ago and wrote a famously prescient book about the country, observed that while Russia is outwardly a land of rules, regulations and omnipresent government control, the reverse is equally true: for life to go on at all, every rule has an even more important loophole, and nothing of consequence ever gets done strictly by the book.
As many have found to their cost, success in doing business or traveling in Russia depends on knowing how things actually get done, as opposed to how they are supposed to get done. That knowledge is not written down anywhere. It comes from years of living and working on both sides, and it is exactly what our interpreters bring to the table along with their language skills.
