We have been bombed with contradicting news releases with Russia being the main subject. This article doesn't contain much worthy information, which is quite a shame, especially because it doesn't play out in Russia at all.

It should be made clear that they are using external sources outside Russia to get things done, because the Russian regulatory climate doesn't allow this to happen in-country.
