Sergey Bogdanchikov would like you to meet Rosneft, a thoroughly modern, reliable Russian oil company with impeccable management and enormous profit potential. That, at least, is the pitch that Bogdanchikov, Rosneft's president, has been making vigorously to investors over the past few weeks, hoping to lure them into a stock listing in London and Moscow later this month that could raise as much as $11.7 billion, making the company worth up to $80 billion.

...that it is simply demanding a long-overdue market rate. Moreover, Putin is taking steps to ensure that Russia remains in favor with international investors. On Dec. 23, he signed a law that allows foreigners to acquire up to 49% of state-controlled gas and oil company Gazprom.

Still, Russia seems to be courting pols in the West. Reports claim Putin earlier this month offered the chairmanship of Russian state oil firm Rosneft to former U.S. Commerce Secretary Donald Evans, a close friend of President Bush. Rosneft is readying for an IPO next year, after picking up the production arm of its dismembered rival Yukos in a state-sponsored auction a year ago. Sources close to Evans won't confirm or deny...
...Running Out Of Energy A Houston judge rejected Yukos' bid for U.S. bankruptcy protection. The beleaguered Russian oil firm sought shelter last December in an attempt to block the sale of its core production unit. The decision clears the way for the merger of Russian gas major Gazprom with Rosneft, Russia's state oil company that acquired Yukos' prized asset...
