...week. Says Mikhail Krutikhin, an analyst with RusEnergy: "My clients now have just a single question left. Who gets Yukos, once it bankrupts?" Apparently there is an answer. "We know that the successor has been picked - we still don't know exactly [who it is]," says a senior Russian Cabinet official. "The person does not matter, though. It's the type that does: someone close and demonstrably loyal to Putin." Car Trouble Maybe this is a good time to buy a car.
