Elena Gladysheva, Managing Partner of RI-Consulting, lawyer Attorney in an author's column for Banki.ru about the consequences for creditors and employees of foreign businesses of a statement to suspend operations and withdrawal from the Russian market? The first part of the article contains an analysis of the consequences of a "suspension" statement.

The state is not responsible for business, and business is not responsible for the state (these are the fundamental tenets of any law, not only Russian law). So, what is the obstacle to running this business? There are no obstacles.

One statement alone is not enough to stop or suspend a business. There are certain requirements (staff reduction issues, settling liabilities with creditors, matters of movable and immovable assets), which will have to be fulfilled. A large number of owners have now declared their businesses to be suspended. Let's break down what that means.
