I know Gautam was a young program director (perhaps even the youngest ever) at the JFK school of government, and that his program was Russian ecconomic development (Gautam can correct the exact title if he wants). So, his job required almost constant contact with people responsible for Russian ecconomic development? Is there any way you can share, in a general way, your contacts in Russia and how you arranged obtained them? Are a lot of folks in Russia Uplift fans? Are all of your books translated into Russian?
