 Russia energy official survives ambush
Anatoly Chubais, the powerful head of Russia's state-controlled electricity monopoly and architect of its much-maligned 1990s privatization push, survived a roadside bombing and ambush Thursday when an armored limousine carrying him to work was raked by gunfire after an explosion.
Chubais was one of the most controversial figures in Russia's post-Soviet history, and the attack raised questions about whether the motive was rooted in politics or an ambitious plan to divvy up the world's largest power grid, creating a new constellation of winners and losers.
Chubais, 49, head of Unified Energy Systems, was being driven to work from his country house in an elite area west of Moscow when a bomb containing 2.2 pounds of TNT exploded near his BMW limousine, tearing a 15-foot-wide crater in the pavement, investigators said.

ANATOLY CHUBAIS: Yes, that's true, fighting for the real commanding heights not in terms of the sectoral redistribution, but in terms of who runs the economy, the market or the Soviet directors, which is always very dangerous.

Chubais, Kazakov, Boiko and Mostovoi, as well as Boiko's predecessor Alfred Kokh, Federal Securities Commission chair Dmitri Vasilev and former Chubais aide Arkady Yevstafev, were each paid $90,000 by Segodnya-Press as an advance for a book on the history of privatization in Russia.
For his part, Chubais insists that his share is all really going to his Center for the Defense of Private Property...but the extent to which that is separate from his personal finances (especially since, of course, other people's contributions mean he has to put in that much less) is another matter.
Chubais' own loss of the finance portfolio was couched in a general rule against ministers' having more than one portfolio - but it is Chubais' finance loss that has gotten the most coverage.
