Ptask,
Thanks for the post. Good to have someone who stays abreast of Russian news here.
Perhaps you can show us the chess board, the current positions and future moves ?

Here's my interpretation.

"I'm backed by a hundred geologists - the best in the world. Do you have to tell them how to mine ore?"...
They did say that when they take over the Dukat mill, they would call police in to bar access for Pan American workers.
(Nederoslev blatantly announces 'I have no idea what a mine is, but I'm backed by a hundred "geologists" expert at grave-digging.')

"Not while I am governor," Tsvetkov replied.
(I'm a weak pawn who may easily be transformed into a dark knight)

Yury Dauev, who heads the ministry's precious metals department, said he'd never heard of Kaskol.
(We see no evil, hear no evil, do no evil, and our bishop will remain idle or feign activity.)

Nedoroslev has claimed he is from the military-industrial complex
(As in "we have, deal, and make weapons - small, large and aimed at you." Claiming he is part of the M-I-C is an overt threat. He, or who he is working for, feels invulnerable at this point and is trying to use violence as a fear factor.)

They told Tsvetkov they would come back to him with a plan.
(There is no plan, there are no geologists. The plan is "join us or pay a heavy price".)

"Who do these people think we are - foreign fools?"
(PAAS wants, and is succeeding in looking like it's on the defensive.)

The article was biased toward PAAS, so we know who has already taken that rook.

Happy hunting.
-A.
