And that encapsulates the problem perfectly. It's got less to do with avoiding taxes and more to do with the leasing arrangements. There is a third factor, too. Registration in Russia requires certification in Russia, something most builders have been reluctant to do. The process is long, complex and expensive. I speak as one who went through this process 30 years ago, when dealing with Russia was a lot simpler than it is today.
