Method: headlines are pulled directly from the papers' own feeds every 30 minutes, filtered to economy and business topics, and machine-translated by DeepL where the original is Russian; the original is shown on hover. Each morning the five most consequential economic stories are selected, summarized in English and checked against the original articles before publication. Summaries link to the Russian originals. Selection favors primary reporting on macro, energy, trade, sanctions and corporate Russia over politics. Reading the Russian business press is not an endorsement of its editorial lines — it is where the primary economic reporting happens.
