Putin's Rumored Gymnast Girlfriend Has A Serious Security Detail

Russian entertainer and social networking influencer Alexander Belov sparked conversation when he uploaded a photo taken outside of a Moscow coffee shop showing a group of armed bodyguards holding Russian automatic machine guns.
People sharing and commenting on the photo speculated that the heavy security presence must be for either a high-profile politician or an oligarch. But according to Belov, the guards weren’t protecting either one. They were escorting Russia’s former Olympic rhythmic gymnast and rumored girlfriend of President Vladimir Putin, Alina Kabaeva.
For instance, a now-deleted Facebook post read, “Who do you think #issoafraid that even to drink their coffee in #Кофемании they need armed security with automatic weapons (the photo includes only half of the guards)? I didn’t want to be lazy and I walked in to take a look. So I know the answer. If you guess right, I’ll buy you a latte. Update: On Instagram the answer was already found. It was the Olympic champion and single mother Alina Kabaeva.”
Thousands of people on Facebook and Vkontakte, Russia’s largest social network, reacted to the photo.
Recently, after serving seven years of a parliament member, Kabaeva was nominated to head the National Media Groups, Russia’s largest media holding group. According to Russian “Znak,” Kabaeva hasn’t taken part in any public events since March.
Translation: “If you haven’t read how Kabaeva drinks her coffee yet, read it here.”
The Russian newspaper Moskovsky Korrespondent spread the rumor in 2008 that Putin and Kabaeva were secretly engaged, which Putin vehemently denied. After Putin announced he divorced his wife, Lyudmila Putina, last year, his spokesman publicly said there were no other women in his life. Still, Kabaeva has been called Putin’s “girlfriend” by Russians ever since, half in jest and half out of genuine curiosity.

Saudi Oil Minister Says Russia Doesn't 'Deserve Market Share'
Rob Griffith/ReutersPresident of Russia Vladimir Putin talks with the Saudis during the G20 leaders summit in Brisbane November 15, 2014.
Saudi Oil Minister Ali Naimi really got the world's attention in an interview he gave to the energy journal Middle East Economic Survey (MEES). We told you earlier that Naimi said the Saudis don't care how low the price of oil goes: "Whether it goes down to $20, $40, $50, $60, it is irrelevant."
What's interesting though is Naimi's rationale for not caring. Basically, he told MEES, the Saudis can afford not to care about the low price of oil.
The Russians, by contrast, cannot afford it because they are inefficient producers who can't stop pumping even if they wanted to. Low prices are decimating the Russian economy because the country is dependent on oil. That's driving down the value of the ruble, and making it impossible for Russia to pay its debts. Already, Russia's central bank has had to bail out one of its private banks. A full scale Russian collapse is increasingly likely. Russia can't reduce the amount of oil it pumps (which might raise prices) because its oil fields and technology aren't as good as the Saudis'.
The reason Saudi Arabia isn't collapsing like Russia is because the Saudis have been careful and efficient producers, who have stockpiled huge amounts of cash in case this day would come, Naimi reckons.
Everyone is asking whether the Saudis should pump less oil and let the price come up, rescuing nations like Russia who need the price of oil to be $105 a barrel. But why should the Saudis be punished for Russia's uselessness? Naimi told MEES — via The Financial Times — that Russia doesn't "deserve market share":
It is also a defence of high efficiency producing countries, not only of market share. We want to tell the world that high efficiency producing countries are the ones that deserve market share. That is the operative principle in all capitalist countries.
You know Naimi is talking about Russia specifically because of the geography he calls out by name:
... The problem with old fields around the world is that they need continuous investment in new wells, and they cannot shut old wells, because if they do, they will not come back up. So they are wary in that respect, particularly in West Siberia, where they have been producing for a long time and the wells there are declining.
... I want to make one thing clear. It is unfair of you to ask Opec to cut. We are the smallest producer. We produce less than 40% of global output. We are the most efficient producer. It is unbelievable after the analysis we carried out for us to cut.

During 2015 alone, Russia's national defense budget is expected to be 3.3 trillion rubles. At the time of the announcement in October, this was worth $81 billion, but with respect to today's conversion that's worth slightly over $60 billion.
Meanwhile, Russia is expected to enter a deep recession in 2015 as its economy contracts.

I'll give Russia this they've really managed their debt well. 
I'm not sure what current events will do to that though if they have to utilize stimulus and bailouts.

Russia Shoots Down Santa’s Sleigh Near North Pole
Dec 24, 2014
Russia shot down Santa Claus’s sleigh today in international airspace over the Arctic Ocean.
According to local reports, the sleigh was beginning its annual Christmas Eve journey around the world when it was struck by a surface-to-air missile fired from the Russian island of Novaya Zemlya - just a few hundred miles from the North Pole. Santa and nearly all of his reindeer were killed instantly.
Norwegian fisherman soon located the debris field in the frigid waters of the Arctic Ocean. Images of the debris aired on CNN and other international news networks show broken limbs, teddy bears, and gift wrapping strewn throughout the sea.
Although Russia has officially denied involvement in the incident, American intelligence forces say they have proof the missile was fired from a Russian military installation on the island. Several ultra-nationalist politicians in Moscow have praised the downing, which targeted a popular Western celebrity.
“Santa Claus is a symbol of Western decadence and consumerism,” said Alexi Onnatopp, leader of the far-right Golden Bear party,”Whoever killed this fat, corrupt man is a patriot and a hero.”
Today’s events bear striking similarities to the downing of Malaysian Flight 17, which was shot down by pro-Russian rebels in Eastern Ukraine this summer using a similar surface-to-air missile. All 285 passengers and 15 crew were killed aboard that flight travelling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.
Remarkably one reindeer survived today’s blast and is currently being treated for his injuries at a hospital in Norway. Authorities have yet to officially release its name, but sources close to the investigation confirm that it is Rudolph -- the crimson-snouted misfit immortalized in an eponymous 1939 song.
“We were able to rescue him first because of his red nose,” says Lars Sommerhielm, an admiral in the Royal Norwegian Navy, “It stood out amongst the ocean waves. The others we couldn’t get to in time.”
In a speech from the oval office President Obama vowed an appropriate response to the tragedy, which may include tightening sanctions on an already crumbling Russian economy.
“Today Russia has gone too far,”he told reporters,“Vladimir Putin has threatened the hopes and dreams of children around the world. He will be brought to justice.”
A funeral for Mr. Claus has been set for December 28th at the North Pole. President Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron, French President Francois Hollande and other international dignitaries are scheduled to attend.
