- In one of its few real steps toward privatization, the Soviet
- government announced last week that it is offering to sell at
- least 30% of its largest industrial company, Volga Automobile
- Associated Works, maker of Lada sedans, to a foreign investor.
- The portion of the company up for sale is worth more than $1
- billion. The most likely purchaser is the Italian automaker Fiat
- S.p.A. But the Soviets are not about to miss out on any better
- offers: they have hired Bear, Stearns, the Wall Street
- investment banking house, to provide them with some American
- know-how. Bear, Stearns is bullish on the U.S.S.R. Says Brian
- Murray, senior managing director: "Foreign companies who
- position themselves will really reap the benefits."
