They attempt the same as with most other fields of industry. (Oh, right; to forgeiners, Russians harazzed all trucktraffic coming into Russia with everything they could possibly imagine. Finally companies not working FROM Russia were compleatly forbidden to enter to the country.
All truck-traffic out from Russia with Russian drivers and companies of course were expected to fly smoothly through borders. As a result, Russian truckdrivers have become a real hazard in Finland, driving with their own style and often drunk as a cocoo)

Russians have already given unofficial invitations to any willing timber corporation to come and establish factories and mills inside Russia, in Karelia.
Result is quite clear; once the foolish investors have compleated the facilities, Russia will claim them and kick investors off, taking over the finished infrastucture.

It has worked thusfar, but I hope no one is that idiotic to actually put money in there.
