the organizer of the Russian Film Week. "Partnering with the
inaugural NYSE RBIS event dedicates the entire week to reinforcing
the Russian-American relations - in business as well as in

business spheres, and these relationships are becoming ever more
perplexed, getting only stronger today," said Oleg
