In 1991, the flag of the Soviet Union was lowered for the last time at the Kremlin and nothing has been the same since. When I arrived in St. Petersburg, Russia was coming out of seventy years of communism, and two years of post-communism and unbridled capitalism. At the company where I worked, I launched an activity not only unknown to, but opposed by the Soviet regime: personnel management. After a few months, the challenging situation spurred me to write what would be the first human resources publication written in Russia after the collapse of the USSR.
