The United States and Britain are concerned that Russia has banned a top Western businessman who was waging a war on corruption and crime in the country's boardrooms, and are considering raising the issue with President Vladimir Putin at the Group of Eight meeting in July. William F. Browder, the chief executive of Hermitage Capital Management Ltd., the largest fund for Western investors in Russia with $4 billion in assets, was declared "persona non grata" and barred from the country in November.

The US and Russia edged closer to a deal that could pave the way for Russia to finally join the World Trade Organization (WTO), not long after Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly expressed his exasperation with the process. Meanwhile, a dispute with Moldova and Georgia over wine imports threatened to cast a pall over Russia's efforts to satisfy the WTO.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A prominent Russian lawyer representing Hermitage Capital Management, once the largest foreign investor in Russia, said his office was raided this week in what he said was an attempt to link him to tax fraud.

In this episode of HedgeWorld TV Bill Browder, founder of Hermitage Capital Management, talks about how he was surprised by the Russian government's revocation of his visa, since his shareholder activism was benefiting the government because it invested in the same companies he was targeting. Mr. Browder also said not being able to go to Russia has been a curse and a blessing - a curse because as an investor there he wants to be able to visit the country, and a blessing because it has forced him to widen his focus and study other countries. Best known recently for the visa flap, Mr. Browder also has plenty to say about investing opportunities in emerging markets elsewhere in the world.

LONDON (HedgeWorld.com) - Investors in the Hermitage Fund, the first and largest hedge fund focusing on Russia, can been forgiven for feeling a trifle perturbed. The news that all of Hermitage Capital Management's Russia-based managers have upped sticks and moved to London to join the fund's founder, Bill Browder, is on the face of things rather worrying. Russica-Izvestia Information Inc. reported today [July 12] that the executives from Hermitage - adjudicated the best investment management company in Russia in a Thomson Excel/Interfax survey last month - fled Russia because they did not want to meet the same end as Yukos Oil Company executives, who were questioned by police after tax evasion charges were leveled against their firm following a high- profile falling-out between Yukos Ch...

MOSCOW -- When President Vladimir Putin calls a staff meeting, the heads of some of Russia's most prominent companies are at his beck and call. Alongside his drive to re-establish Kremlin control over the nation's political life, Putin has aggressively reasserted state domination over major economic sectors -- in part by installing members of his own team, many dating back to his days in St. Petersburg, into key positions in some major state-controlled companies.
