This is a day to listen and think, before answering too quickly.


This is a day to listen and think, before answering too quickly. After writing “Forward motion” – feel drained. I begin to realize how I’m tired and stressed. Of course it’s was connected with adjudication by the ENI the Zubair’s giant oil field. Who was one of many other companies who right to the point understood “My consensus”. Like the one of brokers from City said, (sito): “The drafting look like it’s been done on the back of a fag packet… We’ve all had to pay accountants to clarify what the hell is going on. And, in some cases, even they don’t have a clue!...” (I.e. the HMPC’s regulatory regime in the Tax Return for the “Brotherhood of City”). Maybe it’s right place to remember that I insist to don’t give you the wrong message. Because, the next note, without any comments was called “ExxonMobil agrees $41 bn XTO Energy takeover”. Right after I finishing the dispatch through my blogs the “A bright red beach ball floating in the Ocean”. When, I resolve to stop a little… To read books, walk, and think less. Feel sure that nigh will bring me that “reimbursement”. (I.e. hitting in my head and taking away my sleep.) And, like always, wasn’t perspicacious at all. In dead, was hard bitten, without knowing whom, and than I receive the big present – russian blue – colored truck the ZIL – 130 (The curb weight 4,300 kg/9,500 lb). Even that moment I knew that this “present” have everything to do with the c… Jorge Sampaio. (To see truck in your dream, suggests that you are overworked. You are taking on too many tasks and are weighed down by all the responsibilities.) I wrote c… Jorge Sampaio, because I don’t want to give in to anyone who try (and he is one of them) to push me to take responsibilities’ that don’t belong to me. For any changes occurred, first I send (or sending) a message (or messages) to any one who want mess with me. Well knowing (how you keep be козло-вонючие козлы) that I will not deviate one finger for SOMEONE ELSE’S GAIN. Because, in my, the good old days, villains wore black hats and tied women to railway lines. Heroes wore white hats and come along at the last moment to set them free, just before the train come. Now, the world gets more complicated. Women refused to be victims and villains refused to be quite so easily categorized. Some even took to wearing white hats (or тапочки) just to confuse matters. Why I’m trying to do my best. (Today, the double of the Governor of the BoE – Mervin King “tirou a cartola”…) And get along (see the articles) with people that previously annoyed and even disturbed me. In russian its sounds the “outstanding degenerate”, the distinction which always was attripulated by me to the Gaidar. Who, with his team greediness lost all cost of South Mediterranean. (i.e. Barbaric countries), between the other thinks like this wideness. (The burned eight sailors – agree with me). Bad luck, this is one of those days where I should listen and think, before answering too quickly. Even well knowing why the yesterday the MNE-shniki wants to speak (when I wash my dishes) about the Iran. Not with sranaia churka Alekperov, not with the sranaia chuckcha Miller, not with srany’ kozel Deripaska, even not with the “Timur and his team” – but with me. Wasn’t strange this night at all when the someone hit in my head and than three russians, openly was laughing at me… How I react? Simple, firstly I wrote this, (considering the realm of my own thoughts), than was watching how Willy are offering me (the ‘Dutch treat’ of course) in City bonuses environment. Now, it’s fun to play around with my ideas, and see what develops.

Yegor Gaidar, Russia's economic reformer, dies at 53. Gaidar abolished state control of prices and engineered Russia's transition to market economy. Yegor Gaidar, the controversial architect of Russia's painful transition to a post-Soviet market economy, died today. He was 53. A liberal economist, Gaidar served as Russia's first finance minister under the late president Boris Yeltsin. In January 1992 he abolished state control of prices, wiping out the rouble savings of millions of ordinary Russians overnight. His reforms were described as shock therapy. They paved the way for the dubious state privatisations of the 1990s and the rise of the oligarchs. But they also saw food and other goods surge into Russia after years of Soviet hardship. Today colleagues and friends paid tribute to Gaidar. They said that his reforms led to Russia's decade of unprecedented economic growth between 1999 and 2008. A former prime minister, Gaidar went on to head the influential Institute for Economies in Transition. "Yegor was a fearless, strong and honest person, and a genuine patriot," the opposition leader Boris Nemtsov, who worked with Gaidar at the democratic Party of Right Forces, said. Gaidar was a deputy in Russia's federal duma for the party between 1999 and 2003. "Gaidar knew that a lot of people hated him," Nemtsov said. "But people should know that after the collapse of the Soviet Union there were only two possibilities: disintegration, civil war and rivers of blood, or difficult and painful reforms." Gaidar's colleague and friend Anatoly Chubais, the chief of Russia's 1990s privatisation programme, added in his blog today: "He was a great person. Few people in the history of Russia or the world can compare with him in terms of force of intellect, or his clarity of understanding of the past, present and future." Gaidar died of a blood clot at his home in the Moscow region. Friends say he had been in poor health since he was mysteriously poisoned at a conference in Ireland in 2006, collapsing soon after eating breakfast. His sudden unexplained symptoms led to comparisons with the polonium assassination in November 2006 of the renegade FSB operative Alexander Litvenenko – though no link between the two cases was proved. Critics accused Gaidar of intellectual conceit, and said that his zealousness for market reforms was reminiscent of the fanaticism displayed by his grandfather, the Soviet writer Arkady Gaidar, for Bolshevism. Defenders point out that Gaider's market-oriented supporters now run the Kremlin. Gaidar was born in Moscow on March 19 1956. He graduated in economics from Moscow State University in 1978. After leaving politics, Gaidar remained influential behind the scenes, offering informal advice to Vladimir Putin on a range of economic issues.

Kremlin sacking linked to Sergei Magnitsky case. December 16, 2009. The President of Russia has sacked a senior Kremlin official accused by a Russian lawyer — who later died in prison — of taking part in a conspiracy to steal hundreds of millions of dollars from the Russian Treasury. Dmitri Medvedev signed a decree yesterday dismissing Major-General Anatoli Mikhalkin, head of the tax crimes department in the Moscow branch of the Interior Ministry. His dismissal is believed to be linked to the death of Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer who acted for Hermitage Capital, the London-based fund manager that has been fighting a lengthy battle for the recovery of subsidiary companies that it claims were stolen by a criminal gang. Hermitage and its founder, Bill Browder, accuse Kremlin officials of conspiring with a criminal gang to use the Hermitage subsidiaries to claim fraudulent tax rebates worth $230 million (£140 million). According to Hermitage, Mr Magnitsky was arrested in November 2008 after giving testimony in which he accused the Interior Ministry and Artem Kuznetsov, a subordinate of General Mikhalkin, of involvement in the theft of funds from the state budget. Mr Magnitsky died last month after spending a year behind bars without trial and being denied medical treatment for pancreatitis. The removal of General Mikhalkin follows the sacking last week of 20 employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service, including the head of Moscow’s prisons and of the jail in which Mr Magnitsky died. Mr Browder, who led a series of campaigns for better corporate governance in Russian companies, including Gazprom, called yesterday for the prosecution of those who were involved in Mr Magnitsky’s illegal detention and death. He said President Medvedev had taken an important step in pursuing those responsible for imprisoning Mr Magnitsky and the theft of state funds. “The loss of someone’s job can never be compared to the loss of an innocent man’s life,” Mr Browder added.
