we wanted to look at the moscow of today.oday,he mayor of moscow it has taken a forward look at revitalizing sustainability and livability of the city. as well as the problem of traffic. oliver: it was a personal look at the city. the story came out of the writer's own experience of going back to moscow after not being there for several years. she lived there during various periods of her life and her husband is russian so she is familiar with the city. she went back recently. she was blown away by how much it seemed -- it was comparable to being in london or manhattan. everyone was on wi-fi, the parks were beautiful and green, there was an incredible lavishing of detail on historical buildings. that had been in the past, quite ruthlessly torn down. oliver: this is an interesting story. i was thinking about the city and the world cup, a lot of people i know are interested in going. this is a city that feels a lot different than what your average american pictures moscow and a post soviet breakup visual image that comes to the

also, moscow and the 2020 olympics.at ahead on -- all of that ahead on "bloomberg businessweek." ♪ oliver: we are back with editor-in-chief megan murphy. one of the stories that is very interesting as a look at limited liability companies. an interesting story. tell us why you decided to focus on these organizations. megan: we have focusing on the president and tax, issues, shall we say, and alley structures of -- and how he structures and sense he announced. more transparency love of the present has moved to separate himself and to divest control to his sons. we want to see how that is working, how he is paying his taxes, how these structures operate. in this particular article, this is a small glimpse, a small piece of the pie, but it is important. it explains why we see such limited transparency on the president's tax returns. we can almost put together through limited information, we can likely conclude that he is using a structure, channeling through a web of llcs. we should be clear that this is far from unusual.

he tweeted about trump moscow for years.y interesting is he has a tweet at, the man who helped set up with kushner and manafort, saying the trump pageant in moscow is great and what is next is trump moscow. you put together the pieces together and all of the people, it is very complicated but the web, you know, gets more and more clear as you look at all of these dealings. >> that's the other thing, go back to that time and yes, donald trump in late '15, early '16, he is leading in all the polls and the smart folks like me on tv are saying he is not going to be leading when the voting starts. so did that thinking, you wonder michael, did that extend into trump world? was there a parallel track thing where he is out there running for president but even he, and even the folks in the trump organization don't think it's going to last, so they are still pursuing business deals at the same time? is that a possible explanation here? >> it is. i was on the hillary clinton campaign and we didn't think he was going to win. i have hear

between a computer server in trump tower serving the trump organization and a computer server in moscow associated with a big russian bank called alfa bank. and what this slate article described is hard to put your finger on in terms of significance but the granular reporting was there as an unusually high volume of server to server communications of some kind between those two servers in 2004 and in moscow. there was no information about the content. there were explanations offered as to why the serves may have been communicated with each other but it was never explained in terms of what the significance of that information was. because of that, because it didn't have a clear bottom line, it was just like a hmm, i think ultimately that story kind of withered away in the public consciousness. whatever the reason was why the trump organization servers and the alfa bank servers were talking to each other during the campaign, it's interesting but we didn't know what it meant and there didn't seem to be any other connection between donald trump and alfa bank. so interesting story, we don't

diplomats will have to leave moscow and response to similar actions by the u.s. right now to diplomatic compounds. u.s. will have to give that up in moscow but we understand that more countermeasures can still follow that's been warned by the russian foreign ministry if you read through their latest statement but if we look at what this means in the even i should say historic perspective i guess that ever since donald trump replaced obama in the white house u.s. russia relations never really got off that rocky road but at least the arrival of draw had brought some hope and there were moments when we saw a light at the end of the tonal we remember when rex tillerson visited moscow and they discussed syria on further progress and that the many phone calls donald trump had with a lot of our putin and then of course there face to face meeting in hamburg the serious cease fire but by the looks of it now with donald trump putting that signature on the bottom of the sanctions bill and also the very harsh reaction that is coming from moscow in particular dimitri medvedev

they are not going to like it in moscow. of course they are not going to like it moscow. my first foreign visit will be to poland. brezhnev called edward garrick, his commonest puppet in poland, literally called him on the phone -- we know have a transcript of the conversation -- and told him to tell the pope no, he can't come to poland. and garrick said to him -- how can i not receive a polish pope when the majority of my country or catholics? he told them to come up with a nifty excuse. tell the pope. he is a wise man. that he can announced the book he he cannot come because he has taken ill. [laughter] and imagine that. garrick gently told his boss that he couldn't say that. in reply, brezhnev barked at him that -- was a better communist than you. and slander down the phone. so john paul ii goes to poland. nine days to poland, huge crowds . hundreds of thousands, millions of people. imagine a million people standing in line to receive communion, right? that's have a some of these masses were. the head of the solidarity movement said this -- he comes to poland, and the

congress initially approved a new round of sanctions even without the signature by donald trump moscow already head back we know that more than seven hundred fifty american diplomats will have to leave moscow and also in retaliation to similar measures by the u.s. government american diplomatic property in moscow has been seized but perhaps new measures could still be following and that warning has already been received you can read through the latest statement by the russian foreign ministry but if you look at the effects of all that i guess it is fair to say even in a historic perspective when donald trump replaced barak obama in the white house the u.s. russia relations never really got off that rocky road but yes there have been some moments when the arrival of donald trump brought some hopes we've seen some moments when there was light at the end of the tunnel we remember the rex tillerson visits to moscow then of course the many phone conversations between donald trump and vladimir putin and finally their face to face meeting in a hamburg of course that resulted in the syria ceas

if moscow had hoped for an easier time with trump, it has been left as sorely disappointing.ore taking office, donald trump had hinted at wrapping sanctions to repair ties with russia. instead, the white house said it would maintain the obama administration sanctions. washington then announced more penalties for moscow in june, these targeting 38 individuals and organizations accused of helping russia tighten its grip over eastern ukraine, including individuals who allegedly bankrolled moscow backed separatists, and an organization that provides tactical military running to pro-kremlin fighters, and a multimillion dollar private equity firm promoting the tourism industry entire area -- and crimea. these sanctions go even further, by tightening the existing ones, passionate -- punishing key russian sectors and restricting companies from doing business with russia's oil industry -- measures that could fall foul of some eu members. for more on this, i am joined in the studio by benjamin had odd, fellowible -- hadaad, a at washington university. this is the first stretch retaliat
