Beware fo Startup Monthly!...this is all fake.

NO....YOU are missing the point. If RT is 'crazyville' as you put it, what are you  doing here offering your dumb opinion?

@ Startup - no, you are missing the point.  Before long, you will be accused of running a zionist conspiracy to undermine the Russian republic along with ten thousand other crazy conspiracy theories.   Busin ess and investment are not at all understood here.    The point of why people do not invest in Russia is answered by the replies to these stories - who wants to risk their hard earned money in crazyville?   Most of the comments make this more like a joke site, not to be taken seriously.  It is unfortunate that many of the comments are made with all seriousness.  But whatever, I'm doing great. 

The commenters are missing the point which is that we invest INTO the Russian economy by providing foreign investment into Russian startups.

Part of the Russian investment problem isn't just attracting foreign investors, but its also about persuading Russian investors to keep their funds in Russia and not to seek greener pastures abroad.  Yeah evil Americans ... should of just minded their own business and left the Russians alone. Pffft go blow bubbles.

The needs to be some form of oversight with these start up training for russian companies. The Russian Federationn and econmy does not need the skulldugery of these american companies, lest uyntold amount sof money be syphoned  off and stolen, and corrupt practices be institutionalized.
