It feels as if he were selling his own cow to a neighbor and hiding the exact terms of the deal from his wife—because they included a bottle of vodka that had to be stashed away.
Except the “cow” in this case is the state-owned company Rosneft—Russia’s largest oil company. That very same “national treasure.”
The order from November 2014 that is being revoked concerns the privatization of Rosneft (the sale of its shares by Rosneftegaz).
So it turns out that a new order has been issued on the privatization—but it is classified.
Well, holy shit.
