B Kean spent 30 years in St. Petersburg, setting up business units of various kinds. Setting up business units is tough enough in one’s own culture, but for this American to do this in Russia for so long can only be a big measure of Brian’s fortitude — and forgiveness. Brian gives his personal stories of doing business in Russia — and then relates these stories to Russian culture and politics. He even shows us how his business experience relates to action on today’s front lines. Methinks Brian should compile his Medium stories into a book. This book will be useful to the future inside and outside political players of Russia’s destiny to rebuild Russia.
