The Ground Floor – Russia’s Long Term Growth Opportunity Today.

I always chuckle when I read 'Crowd funded' re Russian Insider...

If you took the time to read between the lines - our overlysycophant author would realise the 'sheeple' pulled out of investing in Russia - because the state indulged in 'counter-sanctions' - which were essentially protectionism - giving certain- VERY inefficient industries - like agriculture - a massive chance to modernise.

Look, with all the resources Russia has, it should be FAR better off than it is ...   This 'russophobe' [ ] would rather see Russia back in G8 and trading as an equal - competing without all the red tape and YES - corruption- that holds her back ..

THAT is what prevents investment ...  'Funny' how the author doesn't mention that ...

Once again, we must thank TomCat for inadvertently drawing attention to some interesting stats:

1/ The EU combined - similar populations - knock the US into third spot

2/ The figures use Dollars - ('de-dollarisation', anyone ? ) for comparison purposes

3/ How is Russia 'winning' when she is lagging so far behind smaller populated and more efficient nations ?

EU extends sanctions against Russia over Ukraine

The Russian economy might have improved slightly in 2017, but sanctions have slowed the progress. I just wonder what incentive there would be to bring money back into Russia? There had to be a reason why the money left the country to begin with.
