Many countries are moving away from Russia， but one is getting closer: Turkey. Russian tourists and émigrés are pouring into Istanbul and the country’s coastal resorts， snapping up properties by the thousand. Russia is helping to fund a nuclear plant costing $20bn in Akkuyu， in the south. While many countries have cut exports to Russia since its invasion of Ukraine， Turkey’s have surged by 60% in dollar terms. Western firms， constrained by sanctions， appear to be using Turkey as a go-between to export to Russia.
其实，文人下海经商，官员辞职做企业，这并不是什么新鲜事儿。"质人掌成市之货贿、人民、牛马、兵器、车辇、珍异。凡卖儥者质剂焉，大市以质，小市以剂。"《周礼.地官司徒.卷2》这里所说的质人就是负责市场管理、收取一些中间费用的经纪人。
