Peter the Great – Russian history - Revolution - BusinessPeter the Great started the modern Russian History in 18 century by moving the capital from Moscow to St Petersburg. Peter (historic facts)was the leader of the revolution that moved Russia from oriental path onto a road of cosmopolitan intellectualism. He believed in God but he was not a religious man as most Russians today. Lenin, the atheist and intellectual, lead Russian Revolution in October of 1917 to build a new socialist society. Today he is a bad guy and Russia is a capitalist democratic country again going through a period re-evaluation and modernization. St Petersburg is a great place to do business. Income taxes in Russia are low (13% flat), land and properties can be bought and sold, market is growing. Russia has a lot fewer restrictions for business than North America or Europe. It also has well-educated labor force and plenty of natural resources. St Petersburg has good infrastructure, industrial base and a population of about 5 million people. Many people confuse themselves by watching Hollywood produced caricatures of Russia and reading outdated but classic F.Dostoevsky’s books about St Petersburg. It is not only historic city in the past but truly fascinating city in its present. Here are some other recommended books on Russia.
