    The author considers the problem of pricing Russian options for stock price fluctuations governed by a geometric Brownian motion with known drift and volatility parameters which depend on a two-state Markov chain. The corresponding optimal stopping problem is solved in closed form by an ingenious use of the smooth fit principle.
