World Economic Forum in Davos: Secrets of a Swiss Mountain Village – Economy

This is his 27th time here. Bill Browder, “Putin’s number one enemy for a long time,” as he says himself, is surrounded by the smell of grilling in an adjoining room at the “Ochsen,” a steakhouse in Davos. He looks contentedly at the group he has gathered around him for the “Annual Davos Dinner”. It is Monday evening, the first day of the World Economic Forum 2023. The Lithuanian foreign minister is sitting there, the Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tichanovskaya, several members of parliament from Ukraine, human rights activists, professors from American universities, investment bankers and investors worth millions.
