Briefly about the content of Russian Forestry Review ¹2 (2007)
The second issue of Russian Forestry Review was published in September 2007 in 5,000 copies. The subscription campaign started long before the publication date – as early as in January 2007. In May 2007, we issued a special digest announcing analytical articles to be included in the edition, which significantly stirred up the interest of foreign companies to it.
RFR #2 became a follow-up of the initial issue. In other words, analytical information is not repeated or doubled. Reviews cover, first of all, the latest changes in the industries relying on materials earlier published. In terms of supply of information, the reader just benefits, as he/she finds only the updated and topical data in every next issue of RFR. RFR#2 informs about the changes the Russian Timber Industry Complex underwent during the year 2006 and first half year of 2007. You will find information about dynamics observed during earlier years in the previous RFR issue.
