Is Russia open for business? The answer is YES, but the rules have changed. In this episode, we cut through the noise with international lawyers Kate, Stepan, and Oleg to reveal the real landscape for foreign investors in 2025.

We break down the crucial difference between "friendly" and "unfriendly" jurisdictions, explain the new "fast-track" rules, and analyze a real case study showing how structured investments could have yielded significant returns in the past year.
