Recently reappointed for a second term as Moscow's business protection ombudsman, Tatyana Mineeva, has released her new book on how to conduct a dialogue with the authorities.
It is both an "ABC" for those who have just decided to open their own business, and an "encyclopedia" for those who have already succeeded in it. The result is SMEs thriving in the face of "severe sanctions", competent and quick resolution of all "sensitive" issues of entrepreneurs, a developed network of professional public commissioners in all areas of business, addressing issues relevant to the state that require communication with the business community, established supplies of humanitarian aid from Moscow to new territories, and much more that the capital's authorities could only dream of 15-20 years ago...
The first volume of this book was published in 2016: it was a collection of frank interviews, personal stories of entrepreneurs who were just "probing" points of contact with the authorities and sharing their experience of communication – both successful and not very successful. An honest book about how both sides seek and find a common language, about the first steps of the Ecosystem for the protection of business in the Russian capital and the role of the Commissioner for the Protection of the Rights of Entrepreneurs in Moscow as an intermediary between the parties – this is what the first volume turned out to be.
The second book was published in 2021, and it already had slightly different accents: the lessons that Moscow business itself learned from the pandemic, stories and memories of the first persons, even the answer to the question of who he is – the entrepreneur-hero of our time – all this was included in the second volume.
