What makes an entrepreneur? BBC Russian's Oleg Boldyrev and Heather Sharp hear from an American expat, who bought a cow and set up a cheese-making business near Moscow.
Meet Jay Close, an American living in a small village near Moscow
Up at 5am to milk his cows, battling bureaucracy by day and making late deliveries by night - becoming a cheese-maker in Russia has been "hard, hard work" for Jay Close.
The 48-year-old New York-born chef began his operation 18 months ago, as part of a move to establish a rural life with his new wife Valentina, 25, in Moshnitsy, a village an hour's drive from the capital, Moscow.
I am writing to Jay now asking for a photo of the cheese, the cow and of course a photo of the 25 year old Valentina :devil: :priate:
