Как заработать миллиард Березовский/"How Boris Berezovsky Made Bilion - From Scientist to Oligarch"

Описание: In this interview segment, exiled oligarch Boris Berezovsky recounts how he began making serious money in 1989. A mathematician and Doctor of Sciences working at the Academy of Sciences, he saw opportunities in perestroika and co‑founded LogoVaz, Russia’s first capitalist car dealership. Berezovsky used his contacts at AvtoVaz (the Soviet auto maker) to buy export‑priced cars and resell them domestically at a profit

When the interviewer asks if it was worth leaving a prestigious academic career, Berezovsky says that business suited him far better. He admits that entrepreneurship carried big risks, but he likens it to an art form that opened up a much larger world than academia. He credits the turbulence of the early 1990s with teaching him and his partners how to navigate business in Russia’s emerging market economy. Berezovsky describes how, despite financial uncertainty, he preferred the challenge of business to the security of science.
