Russia has effectively renationalized its energy industry since Putin took over. "

And i-node et al don't seem to understand this.


They're still in shock that Russia doesn't seem to fear the US. Aside from this huge news flash, nothing else is getting through. Besides, they probably didn't even know the energy industry in Russia had been somewhat private for a few years.

Speaking of which, did you know the current Putin replacement was formerly the president of Gazprom? Talk about a marriage between industry and state......a shotgun wedding was had in Moscow and I missed it. Will the bastard be fascism or communism.....we should know in a few months?
