The minority shareholders themselves left the meeting in a very different mood: "They’re cutting dividends, there are no gifts, and they don’t even feed us. We won’t be coming here next year." A funny article in Kommersant about Sberbank’s shareholders’ meeting. I didn’t make it to that meeting because I spent the whole day at Gazprom, after which I was furious all Saturday, then calmed down on Sunday and drew up an action plan. I still haven’t decided what codename to give it: "Wrath and Retribution" or "Retribution and Justice." I’m starting implementation today. Fear me, Gazprom people. In an hour, VTB’s general meeting will begin at the House of Music. I’ll listen to another helping of the usual nonsense: "we’re growing, we have strong prospects, we’re efficient, if_only_it_weren’t_for_the_crisis." This is the last shareholders’ meeting I’m planning to attend this season. I’ll try to write up my overall impressions afterward.
