A Historic <strong>Visit</strong> with R<strong>us</strong>sian Union of Bakers Representatives
Moscow, R<strong>us</strong>sia
On November 11, 2010, Gary Brodsky, former American Society of Baking (ASB)
chairman, VP of Operations for East Balt-Chicago, IL, Tim Sieloff and Scott Bieker from
AIB International, met during a break in their Production Training seminar with representatives
from the R<strong>us</strong>sian Bakers Union. Gary Brodsky, Tim Sieloff and Scott Bieker
met with officials representing two areas of the Baking Ind<strong>us</strong>try.
Dr. Anatoly P. Kosovan is President of the R<strong>us</strong>sian Union of Bakers (CPR), Director
of the Research Institute of the baking ind<strong>us</strong>try, Doctor of Economic Sciences-Professor
and Academician of R<strong>us</strong>sian Academy of Agricultural Sciences. (branch of the
State Scientific Research Institute of the Baking Ind<strong>us</strong>try.)
Along with meeting Dr. Kosovan, they met with three representatives from the private
institution called the International Ind<strong>us</strong>trial Academy: Andrey Borisovich, the Director,
Dr. Olga A. Ilina, Asst. Director, and Dr. Vladimir I. Dashevsky Prof. of Engineering Sciences.
The purpose for the visit was to build a stronger alliance with the R<strong>us</strong>sian Bakers
Association, and to learn more about R<strong>us</strong>sian markets and types of baked goods
produced in R<strong>us</strong>sia, and learn about the training programs available to R<strong>us</strong>sian bakers.
Thereby sharing knowledge of each others’ programs.
Dr. Kosovan mentioned the R<strong>us</strong>sian Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Economics
was founded in 1932 and The R<strong>us</strong>sian Bakers Union (CPR) organization was
founded in 1993.
With their expertise in Biochemistry and Microbiology, specific work conducted at
the R<strong>us</strong>sian Academy of Agricultural Sciences includes soy applications, genetically
modified, triticale, fat applications for bread, dietary applications, nutrition for children,
food additives and improvers. Through this work, a fundamentally new system of
transportation of flour
was invented, allowing
for operating at a much
lower kilowatt level than
normal.
Dr. Kosovan expressed
that R<strong>us</strong>sians
have a great passion for
bread. He said there
is a saying in R<strong>us</strong>sia…
”Bread is not only
bread, it is the life of the
people”.
