Five Rules For Survival
In November 2008, Dmitriev published an essay entitled, “Crisis: five rules for survival”, in the leading Russian business daily Vedomosti (sister paper of the Financial Times and Wall Street Journal). In the article, Dmitriev warned that the current crisis would be prolonged and suggested the following rules for surviving it:
- Don't cherish hopes for a quick recovery
- Avoid dramatic growth in unemployment
- Support private enterprise
- Move forward onto new territory, defending one's current positions is not enough
- Avoid open confrontation, use levers of influence

Famous quotes containing the words rules and/or survival:
“Never invite to dinner: those who won’t decide until the last minute; those who come more than half an hour late; those who want to bring along two or three friends; drunks; monologists; those who stay until three o’clock in the morning; those who think that conversation means having an argument; those who take a high moral tone; those who are stupid, ugly, or dull. Enforcement of these rules will enable one to eat alone every night in comfort.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The planet’s survival has become so uncertain that any effort, any thought that presupposes an assured future amounts to a mad gamble.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
