Chapter 6 in Foreign Investment in Contemporary Russia, 1994, pp 147-176 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Joint ventures with foreign firms are historically the first and, at present, the most diffused form of foreign participation in the ex-Soviet economy. In Russia’s industry joint ventures play a noticeable role. At the beginning of 1992, they employed 130 thousand persons and had a volume of sales above eleven billion rubles. In some branches their presence was quite substantial: by mid 1991, their share in telephone production was 10 per cent, in computers 7 per cent, in textile equipment 4 per cent and in footwear output over 2 per cent.
