An entertaining discussion of the "Transneft case" on RBC (a Russian business media outlet): part one

part two

Featuring Mikhail Krutikhin (nalymov) and Stas Belkovsky. For the most part, of course, the discussion revolves around, "Why the hell is Navalny acting so brazen," "who commissioned this," and "if I'm scared, why isn't he scared?" Stas, my old buddy and a hardcore conspiracy theorist, advances the theory that this was commissioned by Medvedev's administration against Putin. Well, quite possibly. I vaguely recall that I received the documents from a lady in a half-mask who introduced herself as "Natalya T.," saying: *- Sir, it is in your power to save a noble high-ranking personage who has found themselves in a difficult situation thanks to a villain well known to you. * After which she sped away in a troika of black horses, shouting to her coachman (far too well dressed to be a coachman): *- Arkady, faster! *As for Transneft itself and the question of "how much was stolen," I'd draw your attention to the second video at 1:30, the second video at 2:30 (nalymov amusingly tells the story, well known in certain circles, "How the Chinese built a section of the ESPO pipeline") and the second video at 8:40.
