...shows, hurdles are there to be leaped. Along with the German automaker last year, Ikea, Nestle, Caterpillar, Lucent Technologies, Ford Motor Co., Gillette and Philip Morris quietly added to their investments--nearly all built production plants with local partners, pouring more than half a billion dollars in direct foreign investment into Russia.

"It's common practice for regulated industries to develop a very cozy relationship with their regulators." With this in mind, says Sanders, Philip Morris may have conceded internally that the anti-tobacco movement is not going away, and decided to take the long view.
