Lebedev - 3 countries to broaden your horizons
New episode of the "Founders" podcast: Artemy Lebedev, founder of Russia's largest design studio, is our guest.
Artemy spoke to the podcast hosts, Eduard Gurinovich and Denis Kutergin, about who he considers himself more of: a blogger or an entrepreneur; why Russia won't have its own McDonald's and Ikea; he once and for all laid out his views on the SVO, those who left, and patriotism; and discussed the prima Russian brand: ballet or hackers—all in the new episode of "Founders."
Leave your impressions of the conversation in the comments, and try to guess who you'll see on the podcast next.
