SUBJECT: The impact of global financial turbulence on the Russian economy.

SIGNIFICANCE: The world financial crisis has had relatively little impact on Russia's economy, but a worsened environment has highlighted the country's dependence on external sources of long-term financing. Although large international reserves underscore stability and enhance Russia's international profile, there are doubts about whether the Kremlin will achieve its aim of making Moscow a major international financial centre.
