To be engaged. HÐ?, it is visible, it "is time" for St.-Petersburg has come only
Now, when grjadet the city 300 anniversary, when at the power - the president
From "Petersburg".
At heart Petersburgers are glad extremely, but the feelings
Hide, grumble on arranged between HÐ Ð Ñ Ð Ð Ð the prospectus and

Citizens of Petrozavodsk always with liking concerned the great
To the neighbour. HÐ? to stop in three-stars hotel, where cost
One place a day begins with two thousand roubles, for
The majority of us it is unreal, and it is simply insulting.
The theatre, as is known, begins with a hanger, and a city - with
Hotels. A hotel subject - one of the most sore in
St.-Petersburg having a title of cultural capital and applying
On a rank of tourist Mecca. To become having in the plan
Residing by a city, not enough piece hotels for the expensive
Visitors and several bulky hotels, where, despite the high
The prices, accept lodgers in a Soviet way strainedly.
On volume of investments St.-Petersburg is in the lead among the Russian

Eight directions for creation of the favorable investment
Climate (so, as much now essential obstacles)

Blanket ". The republic has to that sad examples. On thought
V.Maslyakov, potential investors should explain the plans
For a year-two forward to inhabitants of republic to secure with the public
Support. With investors experts should work

Such approach, according to our leaders, will allow to avoid
The dark transactions concluded with those who comes, "that
To exsanguinate our enterprises ".

To whom to take care. The district management thinks over a question about
Creation of the commission on protection of the rights of investors and coordination
Council about investments. These bodies will have branches in
Subjects. Also there is an intention to found agency, which
Will take the trouble to trace an economic situation and
To carry out practical anti-recessionary measures at the enterprises,
Located in district territory.
