The Moscow Times has published an article on how difficult it can be for foreign companies to work in the Russian market. The paper notes how companies that have the most success have people on the ground, rather than try to participate from afar. A key example is Tensar, the paper writes. Tensar’s UK office worked with a UK-Russia trade organization to establish a presence, and it has lead to projects in oil, gas and mining as well as work on development for the 2014 winter Olympics.
