  • How difficult to do business in Russia and not to be punished?

How complicated is to do business in Russia due to war? That and other questions often are questined by our foreign partners when they discuss their plan to do business in Russia in difficult war conditions.

As all businessmen know Russia became most sanctioned country in the world in 2022. That’s why reasonable question is “How safe is to do business in Russia currently?”. Nobody wishes to be punished for breaking the rules. But all businessmen know that there are a lot of opportunities in all conditions and the more risk it takes the more profit it makes.

Regarding to EU law it’s difficult to avoid sanctions and not be punished (if you do business with a Russian company linking to goods forbidden for supplying or buying). But Russian law doesn’t forbid foreign investors’ actions except few of them. As in the past foreigners are able to set companies, buy properties and be involved in other economical actions. Nevertheless, Russia prohibits to buy some types of companies and some property in Russia for foreigners from an unfriendly country. The list of the countries is always available on the site of the authorities and consists of big amount of countries (all EU countries included).
