...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...
...which over 300 children and adults died after pro-Chechen rebels seized a school in North Ossetia, "underlined the failure of the Kremlin's Chechnya operations," she says.

Foremost among them is the giant state-controlled Gazprom, whose gas reserves were recently valued at $78 billion and which is actively pushing to become a big player in the oil market. It is merging with Russia's seventh largest oil company, state-owned Rosneft, and Alexei Miller, Gazprom's chief executive, has signaled his interest in another oil producer, Zarubezhneft. Most dramatically, Gazprom has emerged as the best-positioned candidate to acquire the company that forms the core of Yukos--a Siberia-based corporation called Yugansk Oil & Gas--if the government auctions...
