Can't really help you there, but last month there was a good report from World Service Business Daily on the contradictions of Azerbaijan's development (about 15 minutes long):

Very interesting but there is a corrupción everywhere, especially when it comes to oil, from George Bush to Saddam Hussein.
Nothing new in all of this.
Strategically Azerbaijan plays a good game in the región between Russia, Turkey and U.S investment and although corrupt for sure, it has an exciting future in my humble opinión. | |

Don't know of any current Baku residents but there's a certain vicious megalomaniac wee pockmarked geezer who enjoyed a rather exciting past there:
Josef Vissarionovich Djugashvili aka 'Soso' or 'Stalin'.
cjc,it's well worth reading Simon Sebag Montefiore's 2007 history book 'Young Stalin' as background ; plenty of stuff about Stalin's revolutionary and criminal activities in Baku there. |  |

I've been once, and there are worse places.
Loads of ex-pat bars, including the London Wine Lodge & Caledonian Tavern that don't seem to shut.
