What a mess. They’re not letting anyone speak. Sechin said that everyone who wants to speak will be able to do so after the agenda is finished. So I start shouting from my seat: that’s a violation of procedure — if I want to speak on item 3 of the agenda, then I want to speak during the discussion of item 3, not at the end of the meeting. But he’s no fool, and he doesn’t want to sit there listening to shareholders tear Rosneft apart. It also turned out that they’d seated security guards in front of me and behind me. As soon as I started shouting, the guy behind me began persistently tapping me on the shoulder. As one female colleague later said, good thing it wasn’t the butt of a rifle to the head. During the break, I walk up to Sechin. “What, did you surround me with security?” I say. And he laughs: “For your own safety.”
