In a reversal, Russia’s Rosccongress Foundation now is preparing a Russia House for Davos. Last month, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev announced that Russian state companies might boycott the World Economic Forum after organizers said that Russian businessmen under US Treasury sanctions would not be welcome. On Thursday, Roscongress announced the schedule of Russia House Davos. The schedule does not list the three Davos regulars now under sanctions: Renova Group owner Viktor Vekselberg, former Rusal Director Oleg Deripaska, and VTB Bank President Andrey Kostin. Last year, Russia House was across the Promenade from Ukraine House. This year it is to be in a different location.
