Chet Bowling Speaks to Radio Listeners

Alinga's Managing Partner, Chet Bowling, was recently taped by Voice of Russia radio to talk about the business community in Russia. In this fascinating half-hour interview, Chet talks about his own long history in Russia, how he started Alinga and held on while many foreigners were fleeing Russia during the post-Soviet economic crisis, and how doing businesses in Russia stacks up against doing business elsewhere in the world. Believe it or not, Russia is not the most difficult place to start and run a business. Chet also talks about many positive trends from accounting reforms to visa reforms now coming to light in Russia.
