Zhenya, a loan officer for Russia’s largest bank Sberbank, was walking in the southern city Stavropol this summer in his Brooklyn shirt. It reminded me of t-shirts made by Brooklyn Industries. I just happened to meet Zhenya on a street that had a huge advertisement by the clothing store New Yorker. With Russia’s economic growth coming in much lower than expected, Zhenya just may be busier these days trying to recover loans rather than dispense new ones.
