Abstract

The article discusses Russia's entry into the global economy in the early 1990s, attracting international firms seeking new opportunities. The sudden influx of capital and capitalists led to a 'Wild East' atmosphere in Moscow. Despite initial optimism, Russia faced economic challenges, including a default in 1998, but rebounded with rising oil prices in the 2000s. However, recent geopolitical events have led to a decline in Russia's appeal to the investment community, signaling a shift in the global order. [Extracted from the article]
