SVETLANA SEREBRYAKOVA (Novosibirsk): How long will the Russian economy continue to depend on world oil prices?
VLADIMIR PUTIN: You know, Svetlana, I wouldnt say that the Russian economy is so heavily dependent. What is your major at university?
SVETLANA SEREBRYAKOVA: International relations.
VLADIMIR PUTIN: So, its a question in your line.The Russian economy does not depend on oil prices. But it is true that the Russian budget does depend on oil prices. The dependence is considerable because 3040% of the budget hard currency revenues still come from the sale of our energy on the external market.Of course, we are all worried whether the government will be able to cope with its social obligations next year if oil and gas prices continue to decline. It would create difficulties for the budget. But I must say that, first, it assumes a minimal price of oil, and is based on the worst-case scenario.And secondly, and most importantly, and I would like to draw your attention to this as a future international affairs expert all our efforts this year, involving joint and fairly difficult work with the Parliament and the Parliament (I should have said it at the very beginning, answering the first question) has been doing its level best this year; I am saying it without a trace of irony because the deputies have been working until 10 or 11 p.m. and sometimes through the night well, the main thing that has been accomplished during this time is that a whole package of laws has been drafted and passed, including laws in the sphere of the economy or related spheres. That block of laws should create prerequisites for a favourable development of the country in the medium term.And if that is so, we will see a good and sustainable investment climate beginning from next year. And if that happens then the money accumulated, among others, by our oil and other companies that have been selling commodities for many years, can be redistributed to other sectors of the Russian economy. And in general it may even have a positive effect. For this to happen, I repeat, we must have the kind of state that is not only able to secure that these laws are passed, but to enforce them.
IVAN RUMYANTSEV (Moscow): My name is Ivan Mikhailovich Rumyantsev. I am retired, I am 71. Beslan Gantamirov has reported in the AiF newspaper the whereabouts of Basayev and Maskhadov in Chechnya. Why arent the special services using that information? Or perhaps the special services carrying out the operation in Chechnya dont want to detain Basayev and Maskhadov?
VLADIMIR PUTIN: Now, Ivan Mikhailovich, no one is interested in letting them remain at large except the bandits themselves.If this were the case one of them wouldnt have had half of his leg shot off.As for Gantamirovs claim you have referred to, you know that he is deputy to the Presidential Envoy to the Southern Federal District and until recently he was the mayor of Grozny, and he controlled the Chechen police to a large extent. So, if he really knew the whereabouts of certain prominent insurgents, and in what house they were staying and had a chance to seize them, he would have done so. Knowing his character, I havent the slightest doubt about it.I think his information is fairly vague. And you have to bear in mind that the places he mentions are not little hamlets with two or three houses. There are several thousand people in these communities. And remember that the insurgents had been preparing for this situation. I have no doubt that they have ensured their safety by digging underground passages and so on.So, unfortunately, we cannot afford to conduct the special operations called mopping up operations in communities where thousands of people live. We cannot use the aviation including heavy bombers, as we did in Afghanistan. We should not forget that the people who live there are Russian citizens and we must proceed very carefully. But I have no doubt that our special services will get them in the end.
