Abstract
While the previous chapter dealt with the contents of Russian managers’ informal transactions (e.g. information, advice, money), this chapter describes the social mechanisms regulating these transactions. Instead of trying to cover all such mechanisms, the chapter focuses on reciprocal obligations, brokerage, and mixing of professional and personal spheres of life, that is, mechanisms that are supposed to create continuity in relationships and enlarge personal networks by introducing new members.1
