It's often difficult to discern the mind of Yuri Milner. Despite building his investments out of Russia initially, he hasn't invested in a startup there for over there years. What's luring him back? No doubt the enormous growth and potential of the market there. So it's not a huge surprise that he's invested in one of Russia's hottest startups today, hotels booking service Ostrovok.ru which has pulled in a $25 million Series B round. Ostrovok may now be the best funded startup in Russia. However, then putting boots on the ground to build up the hotels inventory - which is really only just coming online in Russia - is a very capital intensive business.
