Testimonials


"I would like to congratulate the Moscow Times on their 15th Anniversary. I was working in Russia when the Times was first launched so it’s a pleasure to see its tremendous development over this period. The Moscow Times is at a very professional level and is an excellent first read in the morning to stay abreast of latest developments. More importantly, we have enjoyed several years of partnership and cooperation with the Times on joint conferences and seminars on topics important to the market and to foreign investors."
-Robert May, Corporate Affairs Director
