Unrefusable Offer - Nationalisation in Russia

Alexey Golubovich

Maison d'édition: ACAS Ltd.

Synopsis

Confiscation, appropriation, nationalisation; this book digs deeply into Nationalization in Modern Russia: Economic and Political ConsequencesSince 2022, Russia has seen a resurgence of nationalization policies, driven by internal political interests, economic sanctions, and the need to mobilize resources for defence and social development. Historically, Russia has led large-scale nationalization efforts, with parallels to post-revolutionary policies of the Soviet era. However, today's circumstances involve a combination of retaliatory measures against foreign sanctions and efforts to consolidate control over key industries. Key drivers include:• Retaliation against Western asset freezes.• Political influences, favouring business groups close to authorities.
Recent practices involve forced sales of foreign-owned assets. The hundreds of cases of expropriation of foreign businesses happened in 2022-2025, including Shell (oil E&P projects in Russia), Societe Generale Bank (Russia), Raven Russia (the largest warehouses property group in Russia), Carlsberg (the largest beer producer in Russia), Danone (the largest milk products business in Russia) and other large Western companies in Russia. The number of expropriations and asset freezes without is growing, usually without clear legal grounds. The number of cases of state expropriation of businesses from Russian citizens is also growing if these citizens also hold passports of "unfriendly countries" or are residents of such countries. Large airports, chemical and metallurgical companies are examples of the nationalization of businesses owned by Russians living abroad. This study explores:• The motivations behind Russia's modern nationalization wave.• Scenarios for economic consequences and risks of expanded asset seizures.• Comparative historical examples and international precedents.• Strategies for businesses to protect assets in Russia.
By examining both historical parallels and current trends, this work offers unique insights into how nationalization can reshape Russia’s economy and affect global business relations in the years ahead.

Eye for Genius An: James Brand...

Kerry Sutherland

A middle aged author declining in popularity. An up and coming literary agent with an eye for genius. A partnership that would forge a prodigious legacy in American literature.  
Henry James was a middle-aged author who had established himself on a transatlantic scale when he employed James Brand Pinker as his literary agent in 1898. The changing preferences of a growing audience of readers along with James’s self-defeating practice of shifting from publisher to publisher, rather than adhering to the trade courtesy of remaining loyal to one house, were making the author’s efforts to keep his work in print increasingly difficult; bringing Pinker, who managed the literary business of over 100 authors including Stephen Crane, H.G. Wells, Joseph Conrad, and Jack London, into the picture made it possible for James to maintain a presence before the reading public to an extent that would have been impossible without the agent’s assistance. 
Pinker’s involvement was vital to the continuance of James’s career, as his later works and the New York Edition proved difficult material to place. The agent’s role as the mediator of conflict between the commercial writer and literary artist, positions that James had difficulty reconciling, had considerable influence on the shape of James’s later career and thus the way in which the author is remembered; James’s legacy is therefore clearly tied to Pinker’s efforts. 
Using correspondence between Pinker, James, and the primary publishers of James’s material from 1898 until Pinker’s death in 1922, along with secondary works addressing the agent’s endeavors during this period, this volume demonstrates the link between Pinker’s work and James’s continued presence in print, both during the author’s lifetime and after his death.
