Literary texts and movies on Russian business culture

[REEI]

Hi Laura,

The movie "Oligarkh" immediately comes to mind--the English version in our collection here is entitled "Tycoon: A New Russian." Some of the works of Evgenii Grishkovetz, e.g. "Rubashka" and stories in a collection whose title escapes me, shed light on the mentality of Russian businesspeople in their 30s or so. Though I haven't seen it, I'm pretty sure the recent hit TV series "Ne rodis' krasivoi" takes place in a contemporary business setting (and there are others).

Best wishes,

Dear All,
Can anyone recommend any literary texts or movies which would shed light on
contemporary Russian business culture - preferably in English?
