According to the October edition of the Aeroflot in flight magazine, PriceWaterhouseCoopers are predicting growth in Russia at over five percent this year!!!!

Obviously this good news has not yet spread to anyone else, including Russian President Medviedev who said last month that economic retraction would amount to 7.5 percent this year.

I am of course not going to make any cheap remarks about how PWC allegedly handled Yukos as a client but it strikes me that I would probably prefer tax advisors who can count and who live in the real world.
