| | Scoop: Russia After the Elections |
| | Putin will be judged at home in large measure on his willingness and ability to implement economic and political reform and restore the confidence of the citizenry in the state and in the economy. | | | A Russia that boasts a healthy economy, strong institutions, and a political system that works is a country that understands that future progress depends not on dominating others but on forging economic and political partnerships in the global community. | | | The election also was interesting in that there was something of a cautionary voice expressed by some Russians in the larger-than-expected vote for Putin's primary opponent, Communist candidate Zyuganov, and because Putin's majority was a bit less than was expected. |

| | As Russia moves toward the establishment of democratic rule and a market economy, it is highly unlikely that rampant bribery of government officials will continue to be tolerated or that past illegal conduct will be easily forgiven. | | | This Essay recommends that U.S. businesses operating in Russia take steps to ensure that their local offices and representatives in Russia are not violating the anti-bribery laws of the United States. | | | Yavlinsky has expressed his conviction that Russia will become a criminalized society if corrupt influences are not weeded out of government. |

| | The Virtual Economy and Economic Recovery in Russia by Clifford G |
| | One recent evaluation asserts that the "current performance of Russias macroeconomy could not be more impressive." Since the crisis, it is argued, there has been "a positive reversal in all the indicators of the so-called virtual economy." The question then arises whether the virtual economy model remains applicable to Russia. | | | The depreciation of the ruble increases the size of the export-oriented part of Russias economy (which is predominantly value adding and cash based) in ruble terms relative to the dinosaur part of the economy (which is largely value subtracting and noncash based). | | | Understanding the current state of Russias economy has to begin with an examination of the real devaluation of the ruble that occurred in the wake of the crisis. |

| | In choosing their next president, Russia's voters will decide whether they want to push forward with reforms or retreat to a more familiar economy. | | | According to Russia's prosecutor general, about 39,700 people were murdered last year which, if true, would give Russia one of the highest murder rates in the world. | | | Russia's rocky transition from a state-controlled economy to a free market system has served some Russians well but left many more behind. |
