After a recent visit to St. Barth, Tatiana Shalygina, co-director of one of the largest publishing houses in Moscow, wrote an article on the island that will appear in the fall issue of the Russian edition of National Geographic Traveler. In addition, it will be published in 60 other magazines and newspapers published by the company. The number of Russian tourists in St. Barth has increased recently, and the influence of Roman Abramovich has definitely been felt on the island. The owner of the British soccer league Chelsea, Abramovich recently purchased a large, elegant villa compound next to Gouverneur Beach and financed the installation of artificial turf at the stadium in St Jean.
