Russian Conversion (1994), 1991, 1994

There are two newspapers about the Russian Conversion Program, a program conducted by Pepperdine. The program's objective was converting Russian defense industries into profitable commercial enterprises with American partners and providing management training to Russian executives. This is to assist Russia in its transition from a socialist economy to a capitalist one. The program was accused of being a cover-up for espionage by a Russian paper. Despite that, the program still continued with its goal to promote business growth and establish American commercial relationships with Russian companies.
