1. Beginning in Siberia
Dr. Kvint was born the son of two successful professional engineers in the very heart of Siberia in what was unfortunately the capital of Stalin’s infamous labor camp, Gulag. He then moved to Norilsk, the most northern city in the world, located 1,000 miles above the Arctic Circle where he worked and graduated from high school. He began his 14-year career in the non-ferrous metals industry at the age of 14 as a construction and metal worker. Most of Dr. Kvint’s education was completed in parallel with his professional and athletic (boxing) activities.
In 1972 he graduated as a Mining-Electrical Engineer from Krasnoyarsk graduate Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals (currently part of the Siberian Federal University). In the same year he was accepted as a PhD Candidate at Moscow graduate Plekhanov Institute of National Economy www.rea.ru. In 1975 he presented and defended his dissertation “Organization and Stages of Management of Technical Development of Production” and successfully earning his PhD in Economics at the age of 26. By the age of 28 Dr. Kvint had established himself as the Chief Economist and Vice Chairman of a major Russian high-tech company in addition to being well educated in the fields of Mining-Electrical Engineering, Economics, Long-Term Planning and Law.
2. Topics of Research and Forecasts
45 years of Dr. Kvint's research and scholarly activity have been dedicated to the development of the Theories on New Regional Economic Development and Preparation of Production, creation of Theory of the Global Emerging Market and development of input to the Theory of Strategy. Among Dr. Kvint's achievements are the Theory of Regionalization of Scientific-Technological Progress; an Evaluation of the Role of the Scientific-Technical Strategy in the Regional Economy; the development of the Methodology of Regional Strategic Programs; the Theory of the Global Emerging Market; the System of Optimizational Models of Business Strategies in Emerging Markets and the development of Economic Solutions to Poverty, Unemployment and Migration. He contributed with his own approach to the development and implementation of the Global Economic Strategy.
“While his strategic analyses and forecasts of events are not infrequently outspoken, controversial, and at times even criticized as outlandish or impossible, in hindsight, they have been remarkably accurate and insightful. Indeed, it becomes evident that his forecasts are soundly grounded in detailed analysis of fact, coupled with a unique perspective and the wisdom gained of a long and unique career.” – James W. Michaels, Forbes Magazine
One of his most outstanding and accurate strategic forecasts was published in 1989, proclaiming that “by 1992 there will be no country called the Soviet Union”. In fact, the Soviet Union disappeared in December of 1991. Dr. Kvint’s cover story in the February 1990 issue of Forbes Magazine was called “Russia Should Quit the Soviet Union”, and received worldwide attention even though his strategic forecast was published several times before in different countries. This forecast was on the basis of analysis of several economic and political trends, but the core of this analysis was the study of the category of Quality and its role in different societies.
Among his well-known forecasts are: accurate prediction of exchange rate between East and West Deutsche Marks during unification of Germany; prediction of an early step down of President Yeltsin and his replacement by a successor in uniform; Ruble's Default in 1998, etc.
3. Executive Experience in Heavy Industry
Despite an invitation to work as an associate professor in Moscow, Dr. Kvint after receiving his PhD returned back to Norilsk, the most Northern city in the world. In 1975- 1976, he continued his work in the mining-metallurgical industry. He founded and was Chief of the Department of Organization Management at the Norilsk Mining –Metallurgical Concern, which was the largest Russian enterprise (150,000 employees) and still one of the largest producers worldwide of nickel, cobalt, platinum, palladium and osmium. Under his leadership, the company’s first General Organizational Structure, focusing on the strategic improvement of final products was developed. The theoretical results of his work were published in 1976, "The Acceleration of the Industrial-Technical Development" in Moscow. This book received the U.S.S.R. Annual Award “Best Popular Scholarly Book of the Year”.
In 1976, Dr. Kvint was promoted to the position of Deputy Director General and Deputy Chairman of “SibTsvemetAutomatica,” a scientific-technological company, which automated the non-ferrous metals industry throughout the Soviet Union. He was responsible for economic policy, business and resource planning, the organization of compensation systems, and accounting departments in this company of 5,000 employees at that time. Under Dr. Kvint’s economic strategy, this company became one of the first self-sufficient firms in the U.S.S.R. despite the Soviet command planning system. In addition, he was Chief of the Forecasting Economics Laboratory of the Non-Ferrous Metals, Gold and Diamond Industry, and prepared strategies and forecasts for the non-ferrous, precious metals and diamond industries.
4. Leadership of the first ever Arctic Seaway Economic Expedition
In 1978, he was invited to join the most prestigious in the Soviet Union think-tank, established back in 1724 by Peter the Great - the Academy of Sciences, and was elected as the Chief of the Department of Regional Problems of Scientific-Technological Progress at the Institute of Economy and Industrial Organization of the Siberian Branch of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. The Siberian School of Economics was at that time under the leadership of the world renowned economists Abel Aganbegyan and Nobel Laureate in Economics Leonid Kantorovich.
In the Academy, Dr. Kvint found a tremendous lack of accurate empirical statistics and economic information. As a result, many economic studies based on this inaccurate information had no practical use. With Dr. Kvint’s business and research experience, he immediately recognized this serious problem and developed the methods of studying economic situations, natural resources, and strategic business opportunities through the organization of Complex Economic Expeditions. In 1979 the Chairman of the Siberian Branch of the Academy appointed him as Head of these expeditions. Several of these major expeditions were unprecedented. For example, in 1980 the academicians ventured across the entire eight seas of the Arctic Seaway by ship, helicopter and SUV. Another economic expedition in 1981 traveled through three seas along the entire Pacific Coast of Russia to evaluate the area’s natural resources and productive forces.
5. Research at the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow)
In 1982, Dr. Kvint was elected as a Senior Researcher and then as the Head of Department of Theory of Organizational Systems and later a Leading Scholar of Political Economy at the Institute of Economics of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences (Moscow). During these eight years he discovered and developed the concept of two new global trends: Regionalization and Technologization. He defined the category of regional scientific-technological policy and the role of this policy in the reduction of poverty and ecological protection. In the late 1980’s he came up with the theory of Regional and the Global Emerging Market. In 1986, he wrote the report on the organization of strategic development of scientific-technological process which he brought to the attention of the U.S.S.R. Council of Ministers, explaining that without the activation of technological factors, as well as the managerial function of motivation, the Soviet Union would have no economic future. After this predication, Dr. Kvint again faced a great deal of pressure from the Soviet Communist power structure.
In 1985, Dr. Kvint prepared his second Doctoral dissertation on the “Regional Management of the Scientific-Technological Development of the National Economy”. Among the consequences of Dr. Kvint’s recommendations would have been the decentralization of the Soviet command economy. As a result, he was not allowed to present his dissertation to the Scientific Council until February of 1988, when he finally received the highest scientific degree in the Soviet Bloc, “Doctor of Sciences in Economics”. In 1989, he received the lifetime title of “Professor of Political Economy” - the highest state academic title in the former Soviet Bloc. During his years at the Academy he experienced great support of three prominent economists: Leonid Abalkin, Abel Aganbegyan and Aleksandr Granberg.
Since 2016 Dr. Kvint is a Chief Researcher and member of the Research Council of the Central Economics and Mathematical Institute (CEMI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences cemi.rssi.ru.
The fundamental ideas of Dr. Kvint’s theories were explored in his dissertations and books. Since 1989, he has continued his studies in Austria, and then in the United States. However, the developments of his Theory of the Global Emerging Market and his input to the Theory of Strategy have their roots in all of his years of scholarly activity which started back in Siberia. For these studies, Dr. Kvint would later receive international recognitions.

2. Topics of Research and Forecasts
45 years of Dr. Kvint's research and scholarly activity have been dedicated to the development of the Theories on New Regional Economic Development and Preparation of Production, creation of Theory of the Global Emerging Market and development of input to the Theory of Strategy. Among Dr. Kvint's achievements are the Theory of Regionalization of Scientific-Technological Progress; an Evaluation of the Role of the Scientific-Technical Strategy in the Regional Economy; the development of the Methodology of Regional Strategic Programs; the Theory of the Global Emerging Market; the System of Optimizational Models of Business Strategies in Emerging Markets and the development of Economic Solutions to Poverty, Unemployment and Migration. He contributed with his own approach to the development and implementation of the Global Economic Strategy.
“While his strategic analyses and forecasts of events are not infrequently outspoken, controversial, and at times even criticized as outlandish or impossible, in hindsight, they have been remarkably accurate and insightful. Indeed, it becomes evident that his forecasts are soundly grounded in detailed analysis of fact, coupled with a unique perspective and the wisdom gained of a long and unique career.” – James W. Michaels, Forbes Magazine
One of his most outstanding and accurate strategic forecasts was published in 1989, proclaiming that “by 1992 there will be no country called the Soviet Union”. In fact, the Soviet Union disappeared in December of 1991. Dr. Kvint’s cover story in the February 1990 issue of Forbes Magazine was called “Russia Should Quit the Soviet Union”, and received worldwide attention even though his strategic forecast was published several times before in different countries. This forecast was on the basis of analysis of several economic and political trends, but the core of this analysis was the study of the category of Quality and its role in different societies.
Among his well-known forecasts are: accurate prediction of exchange rate between East and West Deutsche Marks during unification of Germany; prediction of an early step down of President Yeltsin and his replacement by a successor in uniform; Ruble's Default in 1998, etc.
3. Executive Experience in Heavy Industry
Despite an invitation to work as an associate professor in Moscow, Dr. Kvint after receiving his PhD returned back to Norilsk, the most Northern city in the world. In 1975- 1976, he continued his work in the mining-metallurgical industry. He founded and was Chief of the Department of Organization Management at the Norilsk Mining –Metallurgical Concern, which was the largest Russian enterprise (150,000 employees) and still one of the largest producers worldwide of nickel, cobalt, platinum, palladium and osmium. Under his leadership, the company’s first General Organizational Structure, focusing on the strategic improvement of final products was developed. The theoretical results of his work were published in 1976, "The Acceleration of the Industrial-Technical Development" in Moscow. This book received the U.S.S.R. Annual Award “Best Popular Scholarly Book of the Year”.
In 1976, Dr. Kvint was promoted to the position of Deputy Director General and Deputy Chairman of “SibTsvemetAutomatica,” a scientific-technological company, which automated the non-ferrous metals industry throughout the Soviet Union. He was responsible for economic policy, business and resource planning, the organization of compensation systems, and accounting departments in this company of 5,000 employees at that time. Under Dr. Kvint’s economic strategy, this company became one of the first self-sufficient firms in the U.S.S.R. despite the Soviet command planning system. In addition, he was Chief of the Forecasting Economics Laboratory of the Non-Ferrous Metals, Gold and Diamond Industry, and prepared strategies and forecasts for the non-ferrous, precious metals and diamond industries.
4. Leadership of the first ever Arctic Seaway Economic Expedition
In 1978, he was invited to join the most prestigious in the Soviet Union think-tank, established back in 1724 by Peter the Great - the Academy of Sciences, and was elected as the Chief of the Department of Regional Problems of Scientific-Technological Progress at the Institute of Economy and Industrial Organization of the Siberian Branch of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. The Siberian School of Economics was at that time under the leadership of the world renowned economists Abel Aganbegyan and Nobel Laureate in Economics Leonid Kantorovich.
In the Academy, Dr. Kvint found a tremendous lack of accurate empirical statistics and economic information. As a result, many economic studies based on this inaccurate information had no practical use. With Dr. Kvint’s business and research experience, he immediately recognized this serious problem and developed the methods of studying economic situations, natural resources, and strategic business opportunities through the organization of Complex Economic Expeditions. In 1979 the Chairman of the Siberian Branch of the Academy appointed him as Head of these expeditions. Several of these major expeditions were unprecedented. For example, in 1980 the academicians ventured across the entire eight seas of the Arctic Seaway by ship, helicopter and SUV. Another economic expedition in 1981 traveled through three seas along the entire Pacific Coast of Russia to evaluate the area’s natural resources and productive forces.
5. Research at the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow)
In 1982, Dr. Kvint was elected as a Senior Researcher and then as the Head of Department of Theory of Organizational Systems and later a Leading Scholar of Political Economy at the Institute of Economics of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences (Moscow). During these eight years he discovered and developed the concept of two new global trends: Regionalization and Technologization. He defined the category of regional scientific-technological policy and the role of this policy in the reduction of poverty and ecological protection. In the late 1980’s he came up with the theory of Regional and the Global Emerging Market. In 1986, he wrote the report on the organization of strategic development of scientific-technological process which he brought to the attention of the U.S.S.R. Council of Ministers, explaining that without the activation of technological factors, as well as the managerial function of motivation, the Soviet Union would have no economic future. After this predication, Dr. Kvint again faced a great deal of pressure from the Soviet Communist power structure.
In 1985, Dr. Kvint prepared his second Doctoral dissertation on the “Regional Management of the Scientific-Technological Development of the National Economy”. Among the consequences of Dr. Kvint’s recommendations would have been the decentralization of the Soviet command economy. As a result, he was not allowed to present his dissertation to the Scientific Council until February of 1988, when he finally received the highest scientific degree in the Soviet Bloc, “Doctor of Sciences in Economics”. In 1989, he received the lifetime title of “Professor of Political Economy” - the highest state academic title in the former Soviet Bloc. During his years at the Academy he experienced great support of three prominent economists: Leonid Abalkin, Abel Aganbegyan and Aleksandr Granberg.
Since 2016 Dr. Kvint is a Chief Researcher and member of the Research Council of the Central Economics and Mathematical Institute (CEMI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences cemi.rssi.ru.
The fundamental ideas of Dr. Kvint’s theories were explored in his dissertations and books. Since 1989, he has continued his studies in Austria, and then in the United States. However, the developments of his Theory of the Global Emerging Market and his input to the Theory of Strategy have their roots in all of his years of scholarly activity which started back in Siberia. For these studies, Dr. Kvint would later receive international recognitions.
