General Summary

Serving Russia's largest city, Moscow City Telephone is the country's second largest communications provider (after Rostelecom). In addition, it maintains over four million access lines and has the highest penetration rate in Russia. The company is gradually becoming more liquid and shareholder friendly, as reflected by the stock's price more than doubling in the fist half of 1997. Moscow City Telephone has numerous projects with foreign partners (including AT&T) and is planning on tapping the corporate Eurobond market later this year.
