1. Russian legislative elections of 2007, who should become the Prime Minister of Russia:
B) Elvira Nabiullina;
I have made it clear that i want this woman to become our president one day and she was doing a good job .
2. Please write down, how should the Russian government react to the ultimatum made by President Bush?
This is hard question, while refusing is an option we must remember that our companies doing international business is at stake here, something more profitable than our deal with Iran so we must ultimately come to negotiating table, or risk a sanction war for prestige.
So my answer is following. Share the understanding with our American partners and agree to come to negotiating table. We would be willing to agree with stopping our projects within the Iran but we also need to make it clear that we cannot allow USA to dictate our policies, to that end in exchange for putting stop on our nuclear projects we will seek that USA gives our civilian companies exemption from its sanctions when doing business in Iran.
We will also give Iran some low interest loans to help it with modernization to make up for retreat on our deal.
Ultimately we also seek from our American colleagues to engage at least symbolically in dialog with Iran with goal of lowering the tension.
So i believe this should be a good deal, we stop our nuclear projects to appease USA , but our companies get exemption when it comes to doing business in Iran giving us unique chance to capture that market while Iran get favorable loans from us so it can finance its modernization and rise the living standards of its citizens, plus they get access to new technologies needed to modernize their economy. We also advance our role as a mediator between Iran and the West/USA.
3. Please write down, how should the Russian government deal with ongoing energy conflict with Poland?
3 - With a carrot and stick tactic. Offer Poland a volume of gas and a fixed fixed price for about 10 years, after this period of time, an attempt could be made to negotiate a new agreement beneficial for both parties, while giving in on something of minor importance.
At the same time, negotiate with the EU a greater supply of gas at more attractive prices (not only Germany, also Czechia, Slovakia...) and offer a joint project of gas pipelines built between both, and that as a gesture of good will, We will offer to share its ownership and direction, but the latter will be limited to getting Poland back to the table and negotiating in good faith.
With this offer, I am looking for Poland to come out with the idea that "we have broken Russia" by reaching a gas agreement and at the same time, for the EU, in the hope of achieving a very attractive agreement, to pressure Poland to accept an agreement that will make Poland pay more for Russian gas for a time than the rest of Europe.
This is not carrot and stick as the price we offer isn't guaranteed to exceed the market price and if it doesn't then we are basically offering stable supply to Poland regardless of the market while also making concessions to Europe . This is capitulation. We especially need to take into account that we will seek to diversify our market to East Asia in the future to countries like China, Japan and S.Korea, countries that by all rights don't have as much geopolitical conflicts with us and aren't in NATO and they might expect to get the same treatment like Europe so it's in our interests not to make concessions abd to keep the prices stable.
If Poland wants to diversify its supply chain that's fine, we will allow it as it isn't our main buyer anyway and we cannot control decisions of Polish government anyway. If Poles want to pay more to other suppliers that's fine, we will insist/agree to continue undisturbed supply on market prices, or previously arranged prices with no change. In case of unpaid bills we will make concession and reach some deal with Poland and EU on how to clear these over longer period of time.
At the same time this crisis has made it clear that Poland isn't reliable partner in Europe anymore and that we must seek other routes to Europe bypassing Poland. To that end we would like to enhance our cooperation with Baltic European countries like Estonia, Latvia and Finland as well as with our Balkan partners in EEU and Turkey to create more new routes towards Western Europe diversifying our own abd European supply chain away from Poland, we would also invite our Western European partners to participate in this joint project by offering them share of ownership virtual to their investment in the project (Poland is also invited).
We emphasize that this course of action is justified due to Polish unreasonable stance and just like Polish government retains the right to diversify it's supply chain we also retain the rights to diversify our's in order to avoid coercion and to achieve better deal.
Basically this plan allows Poland to do as it will but it also uses their actions as justification to diversify our own supply chain even further. It brings benefits to our Balkan partners, forges new friendships in Baltic region with countries that have nothing to lose and a profit to gain and that are ready to engage with us, enhances relationship with Turkey while giving us more flexibility on a world market, more pipelines and infrastructure means more investment, but it also offers us more benefits when negotiating a share from transit routes with ceartin countries as we can always redirect the output to different route.
This also discredits anty Russian movement in Poland and Europe as it will show that force and unfriendly rethoric is counter productive and that Europe/World will continue without them . We shouldn't negotiate and make concessions to anty Russian elements in Poland, we should seek to weaken and discredit them in the eye's of the public while also presenting ourselves as reasonable and deescalating party.
4. Please write down, how should the Russian government react to ongoing armed conflict between Israel against Hamas in Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon?
Keep the current line and don't get to involved, this isn't our problem as of now and we would like to forge further cooperation with Israel, especially when it comes to IT and semiconductor industry.
