They suffered death in the service of the Fatherland and history.

The financial crisis of 2008 will occupy a place in history similar to that of the Great Depression of the 1930s or the oil crises of the 1970s. It is not a temporary downturn, but a solstice that changes the balance of power in the world economy.

By definition, real estate is characterized by its non-movability and permanence. In contrast, an increasingly globalizing world is increasingly “wandering” and evolving toward an “economy of impermanence” [Kolodko 2008]. Real estate and real estate investing, on the other hand, inherently require a longer-term view. Hence, one of the important challenges in today’s economy is the rational, efficient reconciliation of these opposing trends.

For the first time in the history of central banking, the U.S. central bank FED has assumed the main burden of restoring the normal operation of financial markets. Financial markets are integrated parts of the global financial market, but the interdependence between segments of the global financial market is not feedback. The efficient operation of one segment of the financial market does not mean that efficiency occurs in another segment of the financial market.
