BUY RUSSIAN: Lake Forest businesswoman Lynne Foote grew up in Catholic schools where she says “we were constantly being told to pray for the Russians.” Her interest in its people has blossomed. After many bureaucratic hurdles, she’s the first American woman to buy an acre of land in Russia. . . . It’s in the port city of Vladivostok. Foote plans to develop it for her new U.S.-Russia trade business. “The people there are fascinated with Americans,” she says.
