		The Alrosa is well-known as a stop for bands looking for a more cozy atmosphere than that provided in a traditional rock concert.
		The Alrosa Villa has sometimes been tagged as a venue for rock bands which are fading away in popularity, although a review of the acts booked at the club suggests this is an unfair assessment.
		The Alrosa Villa was the location of the December 8, 2004 murder of Dimebag Darrell, 38, lead guitarist for the heavy metal band Damageplan and former lead guitarist for Pantera.

		They are referring to the sound from the Alrosa management, whose 23-percent stake in the company is to be diluted, in order to allow a federal government takeover of shareholding control.
		Sources close to Alrosa told The Russia Journal that the new shareholding plan is likely to see Alrosa's capital transformed by the addition of the state-controlled Prioksky precious metals refinery and Smolensk Kristall, Russia's largest diamond-cutting plant, as federal stakes.
		Alrosa is clearly being pegged by the Kremlin as one of the foundations of its new natural resource policy.

		Alrosa then claimed that it had not signed the agreement, although an internal Alrosa document, leaked to the press, confirmed that Kuznetsov's agreement existed, and that its terms may violate Russian compliance with United Nations' restrictions on undocumented trade of diamonds from conflict zones.
		At the same time as Alrosa has tried to fend off charges that it has secretly changed its trading policy, the Auditing Chamber, headed by Sergei Stepashin, aired recommendations to President Vladimir Putin that the company should be stripped altogether of the right to sort and sell rough diamonds.
		Rudakov said that if the objective of the current proposals is to convert Alrosa into an open shareholding company, and then to privatize the shares, he does not believe a major mining investor would consider buying into the company because it is facing a "global crisis of over-production".
