Actually I was part of a set up for my client in 2010 when they decided to open up an office in Moscow. I dealt with "legal" concerns mostly. Had to go there 2x for a month each time. The corruption you deal with there is profound. Everybody has their hand out from the local politicians and some national ones in the Duma to low level bureaucrats.....and then there are their associates in the private sector some of which do not try to hide their tattoos.
Without disclosing anything private, what kind of scale are we talking about? As a percentage of revenue or percentage of running costs, how much does the corruption cost?

We like to bitch in the states about bureaucracy and a little graft, it is nothing when dealing with institutionalized state sanctioned graft like Russia where very little is transparent.
I've traveled enough to know firsthand how fortunate we are in the US - as business people and as citizens.

I would say whatever you were planning to spend if you were stateside even with some graft, tack on about 60% above that mark just to be safe.Our cost overrun was approaching 45% of what it would cost in NYC so if you were going to spend 1 million.....add about an extra 450-550K just to be safe.
