Luxury in Russia and in countries of eastern Europe

Abstract

When it comes to the countries of Eastern Europe we automatically think about Russia, the largest of them all, with its vast territory, its nine time zones, the link between Europe and Asia and theunique behavior there which makes the country so unusual. This country has such an influence, both politically and economically, on its neighbors (including those of the former communist bloc) that there is a need to understand it better before considering its relationship with the world of luxury.
