“Russian businesses are trying hard to get the market share left by Western companies, and in many segments, [the] Chinese are the real beneficiaries.”Margarita, a manager of a bar in Moscow, said the exit of alcohol brands such as Pernod Ricard and Brown-Forman from Russia had hurt her business.

“Suppliers of alcohol in a bar are usually chosen not only based on the assortment available but also the availability of advertising budgets," Margarita, who asked to be identified by her first name only, told Al Jazeera.“Budgets come in two types: marketing and listing. Marketing budgets pay bars for branding their interior. Listing is when you mention the alcohol brand name in the bar’s menu – for instance, when a cocktail bears the name of a certain alcohol brand”.Departing brands ultimately also means a reduction in the advertising budgets on which many establishments depend.

“‘Well, what can I say, we now serve different alcohol, that is cheaper, brands are less known,” Margarita said.“It’s sad, but we continue working.”

For many Russians who spoke to Al Jazeera about their experiences since the invasion, the corporate exodus has been tolerable.

“In the beginning, it was very unusual to see all the stores closed in the mall. But I am now buying the same brands online,” Guzel, a resident of the central Russian city of Kazan, told Al Jazeera.Gradually, he built a relationship with 200 farmers from whom he sources beans today, besides the coffee grown on his farm.

Yanthan sees coffee as an opportunity for Nagaland’s youth to dream of economic prospects beyond jobs in the government — the only aspiration for millions of Naga families in a state where private-sector employment has historically been uncertain. “Every village you go to, parents are working day and night in the farms to make his son or daughter get a government job,” Yanthan told Al Jazeera.Coffee, to him, could also serve as a vehicle to bring people together. “In this industry, it’s not only one person who can do this work, it has to be a community,” he said.

So what changed in 2015? Coffee buyers and roasters are unanimous in crediting the state government’s decision to hand over charge of coffee development to Nagaland’s Land Resources Department (LRD) that year. The state department implements schemes sponsored by the federal government and the state government, including those promoting coffee.Unlike in the past, when Nagaland – part of a region that has historically had poor physical connectivity with the rest of India – also had no internet, coffee roasters, buyers and farmers could now build online links with the outside world. “[The] market was not like what it is today,” said Albert Ngullie, the director of the LRD.
