Summary/Abstract: This article aims to highlight the implications of the global financial crisis on Russian MICEX Stock Exchange behavior. Generally, emerging stock markets were perceived as a very attractive field for investment and despite being extremely volatile and risky, were expected to generate high financial returns. Nevertheless, in the turbulent context of a globalized financial environment, emerging stock markets constitute an intriguing issue of debate for both academics and practitioners. The empirical analysis is based on daily closing prices of MICEX 10 index over the sample period of January 1999 to December 2012.
