An Executive Introduction To Russia For Irish Businesses,
Oct.24-28, 2011
Pushkin (pop. 100,000) and 15 minutes drive from Pulkova International
airport; St.Petersburg was the favored town of the Tsars from the 1700s. With its legacy
of magnificent palaces and grand parks it is truly “the Versailles of Russia”.
Pushkin today is an excellent base from which to get a feel for this
wonderful continent of 150 million prospective consumers for your goods and services in
the company of your hosts; the directors and staff at Pushkin Chamber.
Irish businesses and organisations wishing to explore and enter the
dynamic Russian market need independent, credible and trustworthy facilitators because
doing business in Russia takes time, requires local knowledge, contacts and understanding,
openness and a willingness to meet potential Russian partners in a spirit of mutual
respect and benefit – there are no quick hits to doing business there!

cost and time efficient 5 day/4 night Executive Introduction to Russia to give you the

A monument to Katherine II was erected in Zerbst
A delegation from the sister-city of Zerbst – Pushkin – took part in the unveiling of the first monument to the Russian Empress in Germany on 9 of July. Here in Zerbst a young princess spent her childhood. At the age of 15 she left Zerbst for Russia to become the Empress Katherine II.
A bronze monument 5 meters high was erected in the park near the old castle. A princess looks at her father’s castle, but in her thoughts she is in Russia. An author of the monument is a famous Moscow sculptor Michael Pereyaslavts.
A burgomaster of Zerbst Helmut Berendt called a monument to Katherine the Great “a cultural bridge between two countries”. A deputy head of Pushkin region of Saint-Petersburg Tatiana Bogolyubova noted that “a significant coincidence of two important events – a celebration of 300 anniversary of Tsarskoye Selo and an unveiling of the monument to the Russian Empress, born in Germany, is an ideal symbol of a centuries-old unity of Germany and Russia”.
This year a sister-citizenship of Pushkin and Zerbst will celebrate 15 years birthday.
A French city Valencay in a Loire river-valley became a sister-city
of Tsarskoye Selo.
A French city Valencay in a Loire river-valley became a sister-city
of Tsarskoye Selo. Students of the Imperial ballet studio have been given concerts there 2
years already. Not long ago the exhibition of an artist Zelenin was opened in the ancient
castle.
Frenchmen think that our sister-cities have much in common. The main place of interest in
Valance is a castle, bought by the minister of the Foreign Affairs Talleyrand in 1803. The
bulk of amount was given by Napoleon who wished to arrange there diplomatic receptions.
