Abstract
The article considers the state of banking business in the 12 largest Russian cities (after Moscow and St. Petersburg) in the beginning of 2006. The analysis is based on statistical data that depicts activity of resident as well as non-resident credit corporations in every city. Our research shows that there are two leading cities, namely Yekaterinburg and Kazan, with different strategies: "strong banks - open market" in the first case and "strong banks - partly closed market" in the second one. Other most successful banking centers (Rostov-on-Don, Novosibirsk, Chelyabinsk, Nizhny Novgorod and Samara) develop mainly in line with "the Yekaterinburg model", not that of Kazan.
