Long ago and far away.....business as usual..The thing with the Russians is that, isn't this actually business as usual??? I said previously, and had some criticism for generalizing, but if you look at the history, including, treatment of neighbors, companies, murderers, former allies, corporate investors after having made large investments there, what would you call business as usual in Russia!
You have Putin, what exactly would you define him as being in the characterizations of folks and the obvious power head of this "Democracy". A certain type of democracy of course, where the press and most folks are returning to being afraid to criticize much in fear of reprisals. The owner of Severstal, is he a sweetheart as well, looking out for his shareholders. How about your BOD, managment, or is it the workers, who some here have claimed have been ripping of gold at projects. Could this expain the drop in costs per ounce, or was it all oil costs. Somehow doubt that. So what would one call business as usual in Russia???? Would you call it business as usual! roflmao
