UES CEO Anatoly Chubais has talked of trying to channel Russia’s imperial hankerings in a liberal direction, by setting up a sort of ‘liberal empire’ of Russian big business, dominating its surroundings.

Well, he’s talking about a corporate economy, made up of very large companies in which the state often has a considerable holding , which is not what is generally understood as liberal economics. A truly liberal economy would see the greater growth of small and medium sized businesses, but banks don’t seem to be lending to this sector at the moment. If we saw the growth of an SME sector, it would make a real difference to Russia. At the moment, Russian companies are either very big or very small.
