		OSCOW (Mineweb.com) -- The Faberge Easter eggs, which Viktor Vekselberg has bought from Forbes in New York and has brought back to Russia as his peace offering to the Kremlin, may also come in useful as pacifiers, now that Vekselberg has gone to war again with fellow aluminium oligarch, Oleg Deripaska.
		The unexpected share raid is embarrassing for Vekselberg because, without the shares, he cannot claim that SUAL has bankable ownership of its assets, and without that credibility, he cannot go to the international markets with his plea to investors to cash him out of SUAL.
		Deripaska has made raids against Vekselberg before, less for raw material gains, and more to sabotage SUAL's corporate consolidation plans, and greenmail Vekselberg into paying a high price to be left alone.

		What is even more sensible from Fridman's and Vekselberg's point of view, some of the assets they are selling to BP - the Sakhalin 4 and 5 oilfield projects, plus a half-share of the Rospan gasfield - will require enormous and lengthy investment before they start to earn money.
		With daily output of 1.2 million barrels per day, at current prices that is worth about $13 billion in annual sales, all of which TNK has been passing through a chain of trading companies, brokers and other intermediaries at pricing that avoids domestic taxation, and which enriches the shareholders offshore.
