Russians

[hashtag4]

There's something about them…

They're one of the most talented, spiritual and intelligent nations (as in composers, coreographers, writers, mathematicians, schools of thought spirituality and so on)
Nevermind the fact that Putin managed to put Russia on the map and make it great again.

And since this is a porn board: I have to admit that I'vealways been insatiably atracted to russian men. I would never act on that now, given my (middle) age, but still…

Thanks to two dedicated, well rounded literature teachers in middle scshool and high school,
I grew up reading Chekhov, Tolstoy, Pushkin, Lermontov and so on (among others) and listening to Chaikovsky, Prokofiev and watching the Bolshoy theather and other artists.
And I'm greatful for that.
Nevermind Blavatsky and all their top avant guarde, eclectic school of thoughts, and their other achievements as in mathematicians and so on.

Their imperialistic politics might suck, but that doesn't change the fact that they're among the most talented and spiritual nations.

I've read several of the Russian writers including some of the more current ones...



They really should get out more.

Why does middle age prevent a relationship with someone?

Russian life-span is too short...

Don't invite the Brothers Karamazov to a party.


Only three will show up, and two will trash the place, while one bores you to tears with sanctimony.


If the brides were cheaper, every Lit-boy could have one . . . .


I used to chat with a Russian language professor online, and she even could "get" English puns. That's pretty fucking well-schooled. Besides, my puns usually aren't very easy.

The problem is, most english translations of russian literature suck.

I remember how mesmerised I was with russian literature back home (We have outstanding translators and so on).
And how shocked I was when I read my first english based translation of Chekhov from a book lended from a public library in Auckland. They just failed to capture the russian spirit.

By the same token, a lot of russian translations of english literature are ridiculous and suck.
It's just a cultural thing.

If they're so fucking smart...



... they should be writing in English. They'll sell more books.

I suggest that Russian women tend to succeed primarily on the basis of their sexual utility, whereas American women use sex as a secondary device.

If you've owned LUKoil since 1997, you've done better than you would have owning ExxonMobil or Chevron
(and that doesn't include dividends which have grown far faster at LUKoil than the other two).

I knew we'd think alike!

In saying that, I wouldn't be tempted to visit the country (cold weather, shitty system, boring architecture and places 'n such).

It's the people with their natural talent, spirit amd warmth that make it great.

20th Anniversary of Listing:
Tatneft opened the market for trading at the London Stock Exchange and held a meeting with international investors

12 December 2016

On 12 December the General Director of Tatneft Mr. Nayl Maganov in the presence of the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the United Kingdom Mr. Alexander Yakovenko and the CEO of London Stock Exchange plc Mr. Nikhil Rathi opened the market for trading at the London Stock Exchange and held a meeting with international investors.

These events were associated with the 20th anniversary of the Company obtaining listing on the London Stock Exchange. In December 1996 Tatneft became one of the first Russian companies placing its securities in international financial markets and opened access of international investors to its shares via the depositary receipts.

The market opening ceremony was attended by the senior management of The Bank of New York Mellon (the Company's ADR program depositary bank), PwC (the auditor), Cleary Gottlieb (the Company's legal counsel in relation to the offering of its securities in the international financial markets), Independent Directors and top managers of the Company and those who participated in the organization of placement of Tatneft securities in London.

In his speech at the ceremony Nayl Maganov emphasized the critical role that the 1996 listing had for attracting investments required for the development of Tatneft. The General Director of the Company stated that despite current strengthening of the Russian securities market, the development of its trading and settlement infrastructure, the London Stock Exchange keeps its role as the platform through which the widest range of investors has access to the Company's securities, whilst the interest in Tatneft shares remains at a high level.

On the same day Tatneft held its Investor Day meeting in London where the features of the Company's development and growth, expected operational results for 2016, the plans for 2017, the Group Strategy 2025, the IFRS results for the third quarter of 2016 and the capital structure were presented to international institutional investors and stock market analysts.

The core pillars of strategic development of the Company are human capital, technological leadership and effective utilization of the Company's resources and assets. This year has been successful for Tatneft in all areas of its operations: crude oil production growth by the end of the year is expected to reach +5.3% (28.7 million tonnes); the delayed coker was launched at the TANECO complex, eliminating fuel oil production and increasing the refining conversion rate to over 99%; the market capitalization by the beginning of December has exceeded 33%.

Based on the approved Strategy 2025, the Company is planning to achieve the level of crude oil production of over 29 million tonnes next year. This projection is subject to change in light of the decisions aimed at stabilization of the oil markets; at the same time the Company expects to reach its planned financial goals.

At the TANECO complex the launch of diesel and kerosene hydrotreating units will allow to increase the production of diesel and jet fuels. The production of own automobile gasoline will commence with the launch of naphtha hydrotreating unit, catalytic reformer and isomerization.

At the same time the implementation of initiatives aimed at the evaluation of opportunities for effective production of reserves with their 100 percent replacement, the expansion and development of the TANECO complex, the improvements and optimization of operations in all business units and others, will continue.

The meeting participants discussed the presented information and exchanged
opinions on respective issues.

The presentation made at the meeting with investors and analysts is available on the Company's web-site in sub-section 'Presentations to Investors' of 'Information Disclosure' section of 'For Shareholders' part.

Would you prefer a précis of Simon Sebag Montefiore's Stalin: The Court of The Red Tsar or his The Romanovs: 1613-1918? A summary of Hedrick Smith's The Russians? A critique of Richard Pipes' The Russian Revolution or his Russia Under The Bolshevik Regime? A review of Robert K. Massie's Peter The Great or his Nicholas and Alexandra? An excerpt from David Greene's Midnight In Siberia: A Train Journey Into The Heart of Russia?

Perhaps you'd like an Excel spreadsheet with a valuation of Gazprom's hydrocarbon resources along with the most recent reserve study performed by DeGolyer & MacNaughton.
