  This is really an interesting take. a. Company leaves Russia. b. It can't take it's money or assets abroad (this is forbidden). c. It starts negotiating sale of business and/or sale of assets with the Russian government. d. Usual terms are: d1. Sell at discount not less than 50% d2. Our of the sale price, pay at least 10% directly to the Russian state budget. e. Win (?)

  ...but my PrOfItS!

  Companies only see the next quarter, Russia brings money to quarter, profitable quarter brings stock options and bonuses.

  PR cost of doing business in Russia is smaller than effect of stock options bonuses on C-staff.

  Companies stay in Russia.
