operation between russia and western companies so the problem with which russia was grappling before and until recently was the lack of foreign investment currently if you look at. foreign investment into russia still nearly fifty percent if we're talking about long term investment nearly fifty percent lower. what we've seen before the crisis i think such deals such strategic partnerships can serve as triggers for greater inflows. went into russia all right how much of the market reacts to the news we no thought process shares were up one point four percent of the claw. and so what are the likely long term implications of this deal you know well i think certainly this is a market friendly and we've seen a pretty thick reaction in russia's stock market and specifically enough chairs reacted. in a major way i think generally this is something that will raise the attractiveness of russia will suffer with the what is universal to say until recently throughout all of last year gas segment of russia stock market was plagued by uncertainty including in the tax year there were other problems

and the the cuckoo and the conflict which followed from it was a confrontation between russia and the soviet union yeltsin when he got on that tank warned people that if their bade the emergency committee they would be dealt with under the laws of russia. well you think about that archie the whole reform ability of the communist party to slash the soviet union we'll talk about later in the program if the country could have stayed together but what about the communist party with a spent force. i don't think it could have been reformed but i think it could have been transformed into a multi-party system but actually the communist party had already lost its monopoly of power for the politburo by ninety ninety ninety one of us meeting only once a month not once a week and power had moved elsewhere. and he went there because you know he was exercising power through the presidency and through his own long term and were less ignoring the politburo what gorbachev wanted to do was to split the communist party and lead its social democratic component he had tended to do that in the vendor ninet

the undeveloped in russia so basically it's several companies are traded on russia which you can invest and which equity can participate so that is why in my view of the only way to invest is buying bonds well what about you i mean in investing in the. electricity sector is the government doing the right thing this is far as you're concerned given confidence because we've all agreed here this is a very long term. trajectory in investing because it's such a huge amount of money definitely it's a question of how to improve for future. or for us in this country we have to rethink really can we thought we're here we're here for about fifty one hundred people over here in russia five facilities for some afflicted are facilities for us definitely very interesting that the government focusing on to really recognize. chances to improve energy efficiency is huge from industry to greed to the whole infrastructure. it won't define the russian competitiveness in the global market but if exactly where i want to go then and what about you because this is what really gets down to is that it's a very c

capital believes russia's economy should be able to withstand a low oil price. this time around compared to two thousand and eight russia is more immune to decline in oil prices and the key reason for this is a flexible ruble policy because what we've seen in the beginning of august when there isn't the downgraded the united states and there all the markets a little the ruble depreciate and the central bank allowed it to depreciate so the central bank protected local interest rates local banking sector by flexible exchange rate so we think that even. in q four and the ruble will take most of their most of the heat and we will be more protected from external negative professional folks. time to have a check on those figures oil prices a flat with investors looking ahead to the speech of the head of the federal reserve on friday all eyes are now on whether ben bernanke will announce another round of money printing true big u.s. economy. gold has slumped to one thousand seven hundred forty three told us but i was losing over nine percent after hitting another recor

all the people in russia. are subjected to be sort of seismic events of history and. so i was thought even before i lived in russia that there was some. you know i'm all real if you do have this feeling for this that ark and stuff then please tell me was it your idea to change the name of your novel and because in russian it was published under a name quite a nice name then ties soviet novel which is where we should always can be translated as an anti surveyed romance exactly so so you think it's justified well here's here's the thing. i think the title in english style instilled in it when you first hear it your presumption is more that it's the it's it's not literally about the children of drawers of style and it's a ton of questions you. put more about you know the generation who are stalin's children and in russian i think the tendency is more to presume but it's literally about style as children so there's a technical issue that i didn't want to you know it was the full of people and into thinking it was
