“Your first 50 right steps to enter the Russian food market”.
Step № 10 – “Corruption and crime”
This step is exclusively for foreign companies that already have a business in Russia or intend to open it. As in any country, there is corruption and crime in Russia, and it is foolish to deny it. According to the 2018 Corruption Perceptions Index, Russia ranks 138 out of 180 countries along with Mexico, Papua New Guinea and Iran. Sounds scary right?And now let me tell you a little about how to protect your business from corruption and crime in Russia. What I will tell you is not a theory, it is my practice. I have two degrees in law and I am a police officer by my education. I became a top manager later in my career. Therefore, I will begin by telling you about crime, and then about corruption and how to avoid it.
Yours faithfully,
Alexander Sinyanskiy
