On the International economic forum which opens today in St.-Petersburg, assign high hopes.
Organizers have invited to a forum more than 2 thousand participants, among which representatives of political elite and heads of the largest corporations, such as Exxon Mobile, Gazprom, TNK-BP, ОНЭКСИМ.
But, as Russian service of BBC transfers, because of crisis, not all the participants declared in the program, can arrive to St.-Petersburg.
Still one year ago, when the economic crisis has already mentioned the United States and the countries of Europe, businessmen still continued to name Russia “smooth water”. The government made long-term plans concerning a new role of Russia in the world. And in the speech at an economic forum president Medvedev has declared: «we were tired of waiting new bright victories: both in economy, and in technologies, and in social development».
