☕ The Geography of Cynicism: Our Fear is Your Comfort Zone
Do you know what a real Moscow work week looks like? It’s when you fly in one direction on Monday, and by Thursday you realize you should have been flying south—since Wednesday. And no, this isn’t chaos. This is the economy of speed, which, like an old but reliable Soviet Volga, doesn’t fit into any Western garage with a standardized KPI framework.
I’m sitting here in a cafe at Patriarch’s Ponds. Watching. I see a man negotiating, answering three calls simultaneously, and keeping one eye on the stock exchange. Your London colleague, looking at this, would see a process failure. He would see risk.
And us? We see a launchpad. We live in a world where the goal is not to eliminate the failure, but to use it before it hits the annual report. Your fear of failure? It’s just another KPI. But here, failure is a signal to act, not to fill out a protocol. That is why your “perfect” system is so slow and so ineffective for our personal capital.
📜 The Cult of Process: Murdering Genius with Regulations
There is a wonderful thing outside of Russia—the Cult of Process. It doesn’t just reign there; it is a dictator. Regulation is built upon regulation, and another one is added just to ensure the first two aren’t violated. And, of course, there is a stack of reports to prove you are not a camel.
From the standpoint of stability, it’s magnificent. Like stability in a wax museum. But from the standpoint of your personal income and irreplaceability—it is a death sentence.
A system that works perfectly, like a Swiss watch, does not need geniuses. It needs pedantic executors. Your loyalty, your willingness to fill out reports—this is your personal confession: “I am a function that can be described, transferred, and then automated.” You become an expensive, but replaceable, part of the machine.
I was that part for 20 years. I know how delicious it tastes—stability—until you realize you are just an expensive cog.
💵 The Currency of Risk: The Moscow Price List for Objectivity
Moscow business works differently. Here, we don’t value compliance with regulations that become obsolete in a week; we value the prevention of a catastrophe that hasn’t even been written into the forecast yet. If you can see a risk two weeks before it appears in a report… well, you are not just an employee. You are an asset.
Here, they don’t ask: “Why did you do it your way?” They ask: “How much did it bring in the end?“
The price of a mistake is high, that’s true. But the price of a correct, fast decision is unlimited. Here, they pay not for loyalty, but for objectivity and reaction speed. Moscow business does not respect the process. It respects results, boldness, and the will to act. As the old joke goes: “First do it, then explain why it was impossible.”
🧭 The Bridge: Exiting the KPI Labyrinth
Your twenty years of experience in the Western system taught you to be a perfect Process Strategist. But the Moscow view teaches you to be a Risk Architect.
You cannot monetize your unique knowledge until you start valuing yourself by the Moscow price list—by the price of the prevented failure. By the price of the will to act.
This is where the Operational Blueprint begins. It takes your Western, pedantic experience and translates it into another currency: the currency of personal capital and unbiased cynicism. This is the exit from the KPI labyrinth that you yourself likely helped build.
I walked this path. Now I lead others.
