The legendary company Troika Dialog is known even to people who are far from financial topics. This company participated in the very first placements of shares (worth billions of dollars!) on the barely nascent Russian financial market and actually determined its development. Such unprecedented success was due not only to its pioneer status, but also to the fact that the company’s management model initially implied partnership, teamwork and the ability to find compromise. Key participants in the events tell about the most striking episodes of the formation of Troika Dialog: Ruben Vardanyan, Pavel Teplukhin, Gore Nakhapetyan, Jacques Der Megredichyan and many others. This is practically the latest economic history of Russia from the mouths of those who created it. And this experience, without a doubt, will be of interest not only to those who work in the financial sphere.
