Igor Ribakov - Kiéhezve - Innováció az oligarchák shadow

How is it possible that a company coming from the barren Russian steppes and traveling in isolation is capable of growth that puts even the saviors of Silicon Valley to shame? How were two Russian university students able to build a corporate empire that is now preparing to take over Eastern Europe in the stranglehold of corrupt officials and a ruthless mafia?
After the end of the Soviet Union in 1991, the party secretaries and cadres took on the clothes of entrepreneurs, the public wealth was squandered, and in the place of the proletarian dictatorship, merciless wild capitalism flourished. In this chaotic, often bloody world, two young physicists created a company that has taken over the entire Russian market and can be compared to Apple, Google and Facebook in terms of innovation. The founders, who started their business careers with blacksmithing, quickly became billionaires, and TechnoNICOL has grown into a real empire, the products they manufacture are now found in tens of millions of households worldwide. The autobiography of Igor Ribakov, who founded the company when he was only twenty years old, offers a unique insight into the formation of today's Russia, the contradictions between Western and Eastern business culture, and the success achieved the Russian way.
