A long time ago, somewhere I read that the key to doing business
successfully in a foreign country is to find out what the elites are trying
to accomplish there and then do business in a way that helps them to
accomplish it, as long, I suppose, you can do that without violating your
own important cultural values.

Someone could contact the Russian ambassador and ask him/her what Russia
really wants, or ask Rastimer to contact his Duma representative to see what
it wants.  If all Russia wants is to have the sanctions lifted, we may have
to wait until the Ukraine situation is clearer.

In any case, how hard could it be to ask one of the Russian universities to
host a duplicate of the information on all Russian participants?
