America and the Russian Market

The May issue of this magazine contained an article on “Risks of Trade with Russia,” by Vera Micheles Dean, research associate of the Foreign Policy Association. Another angle of the question is now presented by an American whose first-hand knowledge of Russia is based on several extended visits to that country and the experience he gained while employed as a business organizer by the Central Building Trust of the Soviet Union. Since his return to America he has become head of an investment organization for the distribution of Soviet securities in this country.
