The Importance of Foreign Companies Doing Business With Russia

The one that most surprised me was ExxonMobil, which did not have a particularly large operation in Russia but was in the Far East. If you've got ExxonMobil is thrown in the towel, that gives you a good sense of just how much US companies and European companies are writing it off. There are very few companies in Europe and in the United States that I think are willing at least right now to tolerate the kind of risk.
