Whatever your feelings about the Russian Federation (is it a wonderful market awaiting exploitation or a nightmare zone for brand owners -- or both?) you can't ignore it.  That's why it's so good to know that there is a forthcoming seminar dedicated to it.  The title: "Trade Mark and Design Protection in the Russian Federation and Related Issues".

This seminar is coming soon, on 30 April, and will be held in the congenial environment of the Hotel Claris, Barcelona. There's a full day's action, with registration commencing at 9am and the event closing at 5.30pm, and there's a full cast of authoritative speakers.
