The year is 1991. The Berlin wall has fallen, and soon after the Soviet Union followed. New markets open where this communist colossus once stood, while new business opportunities arise.

So, Jonas returns to Oriflame and together with Robert they bring the company to Russia and CIS markets. What will they find there? Failure... or overwhelming success?
