The publication of this fifth installment of the Russian Defense Business
Directory focusing on St. Petersburg and the neighboring Leningrad Oblast,
,
underscores the continued commitment of the U.S. Department of Commerce to
working with Russian industry in making a successful transition to profitable
civilian endeavors, and it highlights the critical role of private trade and
investment in helping Russian defense enterprises shift to commercial ventures.
The Department of Commerce works actively to remove unnecessary
obstacles to trade and investment, foster commercial cooperation, and facilitate
American involvement in this region.
Since the publication of the fourth installment of the Directory, we have
continued our efforts to alert U.S. industry to opportunities in Russian defense
conversion. For example, the U.S. Department of Commerce, together with the
Agency for International Development and U.S. Departments of Defense and
Energy, sponsored an Entrepreneurial and Defense Conversion Conference in
Yekaterinburg, Russia from May 20-24, 1996. More than 40 U.S. business
representatives and over 150 Russian representatives from the Urals participated
in the conference and held business discussions about opportunities in central
Russia. Through other Commerce efforts, such as the Special American
Business Internship Training (SABIT) program, the Commercial Service officers,
the Business Information Service for the New Independent States (BISNIS). and
the American Business Centers, we have also supported the development of
business ties between U.S. firms and converting Russian defense enterprises.
Equipped with this installment of the Russian Defense Business Directory
.
American firms can access a wealth of business opportunities available in Russia.
In doing so, they are equipped with the information to promote trade, investment,
and free market know-how necessary to help speed Russia's transition to a
market economy.
">•»-.
We
encourage American companies to pursue vigorously the opportunities
this Directory unveils. By doing so, they will advance the long-term goals ofboth
nations—democracy, market reform, economic prosperity, and peace.

CONSULATE GENERAL OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
As U.S. Consul General in St Petersburg, Russia, I am
very pleased that this edition of the U.S. Department of
Commerce Russian Defense Directory is highlighting the City of
St Petersburg and surrounding Leningrad Oblast St Petersburg
.
and the neighboring region have been at the heart of the
Russian defense industrial complex since before the Russian
Revolution in 1917. Today they are playing a leading role in
the privatization process and development of a dynamic market
economy in Russia; however, the major enterprises and
institutes of this city and region face the difficult task of
applying their defense technologies to civilian use. If they
are to survive, they must shift their resources to producing
consumer products which satisfy the needs of the Russian
consumer and can compete on the world market
American firms are in a special position to cooperate
with Russian enterprises in this effort since many American
firms also are facing the challenge of defense conversion.
American companies are world leaders in the management skills
which Russian firms require. At the same time American firms
now have access to a wide range of Russian technologies which
can be developed to mutual benefit for the Russian and
American economies. This directory is part of the U.S.
Government's efforts to assist Russian and American firms in
the defense conversion process. It offers a wide range of
information which can help American companies identify
business opportunities and potential partners. encourage
I
American firms to take advantage of the enclosed information
to investigate this market. I and my staff at the U.S.
Consulate stand ready to support your efforts.

The political, economic and social changes occuring in
Russia today are defining in a new and positive way the
Leningrad Region's place on the economic & political map of
Europe
Today the Leningrad Region is one of the most promising
areas for business and investment in the entire Russian
Federation.
First, the Leningrad Region is the shortest sea link from
the West to Russsia's enormous internal market. Second, the
region is an active leader in industrial privatization and in
private sector development. In addition, the Leningrad Region
is endowed with a relatively well developed infrastructure and
is rich in the availability of highly skilled specialists of
most every profession. All these factors make the Leningrad
Region a very attractive place to do business.
In today's intensely competitive business world smart
decision-making depends on quality sources information.
I
beleive that this publication will assist entrepreneurs and
investors in understanding more fully the business environment
in the Leningrad Region; it will also decrease their risk.
Our region's enormous investment potential and rich
cultural traditions combine to create a very favorable
environment for mutually beneficial cooperation. We welcome
your interest and look forward, to working with you.
Alexander Belyakov,
Governor of the Leningrad Region

Dear Readers,
At this time of industrial reconstruction in Russia, cooperation with western countries and
the United States becomes especially important.
Business cooperation with American companies can be of great assistance to Russian
enterprises as they enter the world market.
The joining of our defense industry's high technologies and American experience in
marketing and trade will help us save jobs which is the major goal of the St Petersburg
administration.
The main purpose of this directory is to help American companies locate appropriate
enterprises for cooperation. Previous editions of the directory have already resulted in
several cases of such cooperation.
I wish the readers of this directory success in finding business partners in St Petersburg'
Alexey L. Kudrin,
First Deputy Chairman of the City Government
