Answer 1

You are about twenty years late. Back in the 1980s, barter was a booming business, because Russia and China had their foreign trade nationalized, while India had it tied in red tape. As a result, there was a substantial group of firms (based mostly in Vienna) that did nothing but arranged barter transactions between the West (including Japan) on the one hand and Russia, China, India, and Eastern European countries on the other. One of the largest transactions of that time was the infamous "pipes for gas" deal, whereby the Soviet Union received supplies (including large-diameter gas pipes and pumping equipment) for a transcontinental gas pipeline in exchange for future supplies of natural gas to Europe over that pipeline.

By now, Russia, China, and India have long since liberalized their foreign trade, so barter no longer has the allure it once did...
