One of Odessa phenomenon
Odessa, during its 213 years of prospering, was always alluring business-like and enterprising people. The history of city, its temper was always determined by merchant, business men, entrepreneurs??¦ to make the story short, those who had the commercial ???vein??? in them. Not by accident, the municipal council of our city is located on the former building of an exchange with the sculpture of Mercury on the front. As is well known, Mercury is the god of trade, profit, intelligence and adroitness. Odessa was built as an outpost of Russian Empire. Two hundred years before it had already been one of the most prominent trade centers. Most famous businessmen took part in creating the culture and spirit of an entrepreneurship. That is why each odessite considers himself an entrepreneurship deep in his soul. You can feel it in from the characters of Odessa citizens, who can be distinguished not only by their sharp humor. First things that point on an inclination to business are innate adventurism and luck. A true odessite is never afraid of risk. He may take the risk of somebody else??™s capital and be lucky. That is why our city is famous not only for Deribasovskaya Street or Potemkin Stairs, but market ???Privoz???, ???7th kilometer??? and plenty of casinos, slot-machines. Odessa had always been a truly magic place for entrepreneurship talents between East and West!?
