Finnish companies have a growing and keen interest in entering the changing and improving Northwestern Russian market. According to the World Bank’s rankings for the ease of doing business, Russia ranked at 92 out of 189. The country was however recognized as one of the 29 countries which had improved their rankings in 2012/13 according to reforms in at least 3 of the 10 measured topics. In addition to being ranked in the 50th percentile in the ease of doing business, the Russian business environment and culture must also be considered when deciding to enter a market sector abroad. In understanding the Russian business culture for example, as defined by Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, Russia is described as a culture of high power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and pragmatism meaning that the business culture includes the right personal contacts, bureaucratic business processes, and an orientation where the situation, context, and time have meaning for the outcome of the issue at hand. In other words, the culture and businesses thrive on the network of contacts, understanding the processes and systems, as well as on direct personal communication. In addition to the ease of doing business improving and the cultural differences, development projects in specific must go through the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process which has proven to be a market entry barrier into the Northwestern Russian region. It has been found that the EIA process and system in Russia is complex and hard to navigate, even by native developers. The issues of identifying the EIA best practices of the private sector in Northwestern Russia and thus easing the market entry barrier posed by the Russian EIA system and its process for Finnish as well as other international companies looking into entering the Northwestern Russian market are addressed with a toolkit. This toolkit is a free of charge; open, online information service – Russia (ISRussia) designed specifically from the gathered research, feedback, and needs assessment and analysis of Finland’s private sector and thus is specifically designed for the companies.

ABSTRACT This explorative study aims to understand how increasing shipping activities shape the local adaptive capacity of the coastal community, Solovetsky, on the Solovetsky Archipelago in the White Sea, Northern Russia. For centuries, shipping has been the main means of transportation in the White Sea and has played a key role in local livelihoods. Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, the community has experienced a dramatic increase in shipping development. Changes in the navigation season, tourism trends, and community development are just some of the drivers that have changed shipping patterns. The analysis of empirical material collected through interviews with 24 stakeholders and site observations reveal five salient determinants that influence the ability of the Solovetsky community to adapt to ship traffic growth: local involvement in the decision-making system, infrastructure, local values, the natural environment and economic resources. With careful investigation of these determinants’ implications and roles, we conclude that communities’ adaptive capacities are shaped not only by each determinant on its own, but also by the interlinkages between them.

It is generally understood that the first national EIA procedure established was the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA 1969, as amended) of the United States in 1969. Thereafter, the EIA procedure first spread to the commonwealth countries of Canada and Australia, and then to Europe and also to some developing countries (Gilpin 1995; Harrop and Nixon 1999). International banks like the World Bank or the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) started to make EIA a precondition for any loan they gave (Bastmeijer and Koivurova 2008, part 3). At the moment, practically all states have their EIA systems in place (Yang and Percival 2009). Even the transboundary EIA, an extension of domestic EIA to foreign states and other actors has, in the words of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) become
