    I guess they sweat quite a lot to keep business as usual.

    Like this one:

    • Gazprom cancels dividend for the first time since 1998
    • Stock tumbles 30%
    • Insider trading yada yada
    • Gazprom change their mind and decide to pay dividend
    • Stock rises by 40%

    Or this one:
    Ravil Maganov, Chairman of the Board of Lukoil, Russia’s 2nd-largest company & one of the world’s largest oil producers, has died after falling out of a window in Moscow

  • Dangerous times to be a Russian energy boss! From BBC
