I'll tell you why we don't want to let foreign companies invest in our economy: we pretty much rely on them due to all the investment!

I was hoping that we would be pretty independent, but hey. Nowadays life has really improved under Putin since the fall of the Union...and the fall of Yeltsin.

I think that foreign companies do help us somewhat, but we should stop relying on them. And I'm against foreigners buying Russian companies. I would like to live to see the day when our companies get better and rise up in the international world among the big brand names we all recognize.
