Sitting in the café under the Premier Palace, Kiev’s finest hotel, Rodovid Bank CEO Denis Gorbunenko is short of time.
It is the anniversary of the October Revolution (it actually happens in November). The streets of the Ukraine capital are snarled with traffic, as several thousand communists march down the main thoroughfare, the Kreschatik. As a result, Mr Gorbunenko had to walk to the hotel where he is due to showcase his bank at an investment conference. He is looking for a strategic investor.
