Daniel Satinsky
Daniel Satinsky is a business consultant, author and attorney, with extensive experience in Russia with business projects, consulting on market entry and technology innovation policy and building business ties between Russia and the United States in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Since ceasing business activities in the region in 2014, he has focused on writing about key aspects of this period that continue to reverberate in the present. His most recent book Creating the Post-Soviet Russian Market Economy: Through American Eyes (2024), led to the creation of The Satinsky Archive. In preparation for that book, he interviewed with more than one hundred citizen diplomats, aid program officials, and American entrepreneurs who had a profound impact on the formation of the Russian market economy in the Perestroika period and the 1990’s. Some of those interviews, along with subsequent ones with similarly key figures of those times make up The Satinsky Archive.
