40 years in insurance, 2024
I embarked on my insurance and writing career in 1984 in the USSR, on the eastern side of the Iron Curtain. As I celebrate 40 years in insurance and writing, I find myself on the western side of the New Iron Curtain. These past four decades have witnessed significant transformations in the insurance and shipping industries — from state control to economic freedom to challenges and back again. The journey has been enlightening and I am certain that it will be studied in future textbooks.
My personal journey may shed light on the rise of private insurance and shipping in Eastern Europe. I invite you to review and share your thoughts.
