Printer-friendly Russian Government Says There's Not Enough Money for Bolshoi Renovation By Emily Quinn 10 Aug 2005 Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre closed last month for a three-year renovation, but now Russia’s finance minister says there may not be enough money for the project, the London Independent reports. Finance minister Gherman Gref has asked the theater’s management to find a way to do the renovations for 9 billion rubles (about $317 million), rather than the 25 billion rubles (about about $880 million) originally estimated for the work. Anatoly Iskanov, the theater’s general director, said that much of the renovation was too urgent to cut. “The Bolshoi building does not conform to any modern standards,” he said. “For example, fire safety. There is no fire-exit network. And what is more, the building is simply in a hazardous condition. That’s why we closed the theater. To be inside there is simply dangerous.” Nikita Shangin, the chief architect for the renovation, is also opposed to downscaling the project. “If it becomes clear that all we’re going to get is a cosmetic facelift,” he told the Russian press, “I’m pulling out.”

In the end, the appreciation of an entire country could be held in one hand. A medal and a ribbon represented ten years of effort to safeguard Soviet-designed nuclear reactors in hopes of preventing another Chornobyl-scale accident. The Russian government's federal nuclear utility, Rosenergoatom, recently presented a medal and ribbon to several current and former PNNL employees for "the important personal contribution to development and efficient implementation of a 10-year program for the American technical assistance to the Russian nuclear power." The award was part of Russia's celebration of 50 years of nuclear power. The program cited in the award is the Department of Energy's International Nuclear Safety Program (INSP). Those honored included: Bob Moffitt, Dan Couch, Jeff Ace and Doug Dahl, all with PNNL; Rich Denning of Battelle Memorial Institute; Laurin Dodd of Bechtel; and Richard Reister of the Department of Energy, which sponsors the program. "It was a bittersweet occasion," said Bob Moffitt, INSP program manager. "You look back and you're really proud of the accomplishments. On the other hand, you realize it is proof that this collaboration is coming to an end."

By Victor Yasmann The Kremlin Hard on the heels of a humiliating political defeat in the presidential election in Ukraine, the Kremlin is now facing another serious crisis, this one even closer to home. For weeks now, the country has been wracked by growing social unrest in opposition to the government's reform to convert most in-kind social benefits to cash payments, which has been widely criticized as ill considered and poorly implemented. According to media reports, more than two-thirds of the subjects of the federation have seen protests and demonstrations by pensioners, the disabled, public-sector workers, and other benefits recipients. In some cases, protestors blocked highways and rail lines or took over regional-administration buildings. In many cases, the protests were apparently spontaneous, but the Communist Party has claimed to be organizing the demonstrations.

Why the Corporate Rich Oppose Environmentalism... The sustainable development of the Russian mineral resources sector requires its demonopolization, Natural Resources Minister Yuriy Trutnev said today, according to ITAR-TASS news agency. He was addressing a government meeting which later endorsed a long-term state programme for the study of subsurface resources and the recovery of mineral resources. The agency quoted Trutnev as saying that at present the extraction of many mineral resources, including strategic ones, is concentrated in the hands of one or two companies. "Thus, nine companies extract in aggregate 82 per cent of Russian oil, and two companies account for almost 100 per cent of diamond extraction." He added: "It is obvious that in this situation a company that has a monopoly in the sector is not interested in further geological exploration and development of competition." The agency went on to quote head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service Igor Artemyev as labelling the situation in the sector, where just a handful of big companies operate, as "economic poaching". He added that these companies "take under their wing" the most profitable deposits, thus increasing their plough-back, whilst paying little attention to geological exploration.

According to Russian media, he appeared reluctant to accept many of the provisions. Yeltsin was scheduled to give his reply to the proposal on Monday during a meeting with Chernomyrdin, the Interfax news agency reported, quoting a source in the Duma.

They contest a governmental decree, issued in 1998, which allowed reprocessing and dumping at the Mayak combine of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) from the Hungarian Paks nuclear power plant. Return of the radioactive waste, produced after reprocessing of the Hungarian SNF, was not stipulated in the decree. But the legislation, which was in force at the time this governmental decree, N1483-r, was published, prohibited imports of nuclear materials for storage in Russia. Radwaste, remaining after spent fuel reprocessing, was to be returned to the country of origin.

The Effects of US and Russian Government Surplus Inventories William N. Szymanski The United States and Russian governments signed an agreement in 1993 that provided for the conversion of high enriched uranium (HEU) from dismantled Russian nuclear weapons into fuel for commercial nuclear reactors. The United States followed by announcing plans to dispose of HEU in a similar manner, along with other uranium inventories no longer required for national security purposes. The much anticipated introduction of uranium from these inventories into the marketplace was delayed while legal procedures were being developed for selling the uranium. With resolution of many of the outstanding issues during 1996 and 1997, US and Russian government surplus inventories are poised to play a key role in the world uranium market. The extent to which these inventories can provide a steady and secure source of supply is of great importance to the nuclear industry. The Energy Information Administration (EIA), an independent organisation within the US Department of Energy (DOE), develops projections of uranium prices and supply through to 2010. The projections are made available as part of EIA's responsibility for providing energy information and analysis. EIA does not propose or advocate policy or legislation.

Moscow, Russia - The Russian government this morning gave its approval for a ratification package for the Kyoto Protocol, clearing the way for the treaty — the world's only international agreement to reduce emissions of CO2, the main greenhouse gas responsible for climate change and global warming — to become international law. "This is a decision for which the world has been waiting for two-and-a-half years," said Jennifer Morgan, Director of WWF's Climate Change Programme. "Once the Russian Duma endorses ratification, the UN will finally have a binding multilateral agreement to combat climate change — a significant step towards protecting the millions of species and people at risk from climate change impacts."

The July Crisis: The Russian Viewpoint Statement by M. Sazonov, Minister of Foreign Affairs, August 2, 1914 . . . The Russian Government, to whom the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador at St. Petersburg had communicated the text of the note [i.e., the ultimatum to Serbia] seventeen hours after its presentation at Belgrade, having taken note of the demands contained therein, could not but perceive that some of these demands were im­possible of execution as regards their substance, whilst others were presented in a form which was incompatible with the dignity of an independent State. Russia considered that the humiliation of Serbia, involved in these demands, and equally the evident intention of Austria-Hungary to secure her own hegemony in the Balkans, which underlay her conditions, were inadmissible. The Russian Government, therefore, pointed out to Austria-Hungary in the most friendly manner that it would be desirable to re-examine the points contained in the Austro-Hungarian note. The Austro-Hungarian Government did not see their way to agree to a discussion of the note. Despite the fact that Serbia had reprobated the crime, and had shown herself ready to give Austria satisfaction to an extent beyond the expectations, not only of Russia, but also of the other Powers—despite these facts, the Austro-Hungarian Minister at Belgrade considered the Serbian reply insufficient .

BISNIS Bulletin , November/December 2004 Russian Government Develops a New IT Concept by Irina Lakaeva The Russian information technology (IT) market is considered to be one of the most dynamic in the world, with more than 20 percent growth annually. This sector plays an important role in Russian–U.S. services trade because most high-tech equipment used in Russia is imported. Growth is expected to continue due to a favorable economic situation and high demand in the corporate and government sectors. At the end of September 2004, the Russian government approved “The Concept of the Use of Information Technologies in the Activity of Government Agencies until the Year 2010,” which may become an important demand driver for IT products in the government sector. The concept document was prepared by the Russian Ministry of IT and Communications and approved by Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov on September 27, 2004. For the next six years, it will become a key document for regulating IT development processes in federal government bodies. The document describes the main priorities of government policy in the sphere of IT use by government entities. The main goals of the concept are to: improve the efficiency of government management with the help of IT tools;

Answer: Although the subject was not raised in Jakarta, we continue to raise our concerns about the Yukos and Khodorkovskiy cases on a number of levels with Russia's government, including most recently when Secretary Powell raised the issue of Khodorkovskiy with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov at the NATO Summit meetings in Istanbul. Our basic concerns remain respect for the rule of law and due process without influence from political considerations. An appearance of lack of due process, and possible threats to private property rights put the international and domestic business communities on their guard and raise questions about Russia's respect for investment rights and willingness to seek equitable solutions that promote business development.
