In Russia, it is said, "Nothing and everything is possible" In Inside Out, author Glenn Williamson explains the award-winning development of St. Petersburg's first modern Class A office/retail center by a multinational team of Americans, Russians, Brits, Turks, and Finns. Inside Out provides a fascinating memoir of his experiences working as a developer in Russia in the 1990s while balancing a home life with a new baby son. With unique and astute anecdotes, it offers insights into Russia, its people, and its culture. Inside Out, funny and serious, sincere and sarcastic, narrates the anatomy of a real estate deal. Now, at a time when America and Russia consider ways to reset their relations, Williamson's story shows how actual players on all sides of a complex business and personal adventure looked for, and ultimately found, a common language. "If you ever wondered what a developer does all day - especially one developing in Russia - all your questions will be answered by reading this fascinating story" Dr. Peter Linneman, Linneman Associates

A Lively Read

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2015

Fascinating first-hand account of the twists and turns of a construction project in Saint Petersburg in the "wild east" years of the 1990s after the collapse of communism. Mr. Williamson recounts the many perils of business in Russia, especially the problems of financing and the permit process that led to near-collapse of the project long before actual construction began. His anecdotes about Russian counterparts are entertaining. Their actions often defy western logic and expectations -- and provide great insight into the Russian way of doing things. The author acknowledges the ethical challenges along the way, and addresses them as best he can in the moral universe of Russia. His tale is not just a primer for future investors, but a rich slice-of-life study of Russian society and culture by an informed and perceptive observer.

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2014

Glenn Williamson's well written book resonated strongly with me. Having been to Russia and St. Petersburg many times, and being an architect, I appreciated his realistic account of the daunting conditions and challenges of the city, and of creating a new project in the city, only a few years after the U.S.S.R.'s collapse. His insightful characterizations of the diverse individuals - Russians, Europeans, Americans - with whom he interacted enrich the account.

Glenn is a good storyteller and an educated fellow who shares his insights with style and wit. For those of us who have never been to this part of the world, it's a great introduction to the cultural differences across the globe. I scarfed it right up and encourage others to do likewise.

Wonderfully written!

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2016

I bought this book for my son and he devoured it in days. He's tok Russian history and now is taking the language. He completely gleaned a lot from this author's writing.
