The dispute started after Rogers’ lecture at HBS when the co-founder of the Quantum Fund described Russia as a hopeless place for investors. Alimov wrote an e-mail to Rogers claiming that his statements and facts on Russia were not well-grounded. A long-lasting e-mail exchange that followed was eventually read by Alimov's fellow-students as well as businessmen and the public around the world. The story was covered by The New Yorker, The New York Post and other international media.
