Russian Metals! The rules of the game

Yesterday, the owner of NLMK Vladimir Lisin made a rather strong and untypical for his manner statement. “A group of outsiders have occurred on the metallurgical market… in the final accounting, we will have to use a bankruptcy mechanism, and Russia won’t have enough budget money to hand out,” – the businessman said, added that, in his opinion, “in the near future the glade of the metallurgical market’s participants will change in Russia”. When such statement comes from not only one of the largest Russian businessmen, but from a man, who was one of the originators of the country’s post-perestroika metallurgy and still is one of its most impressive participants, you take these words seriously, whether you like it or not. And you ask yourself: who is near to death?
