		Vladimir Lisin, the head of NLMK, also shows no great interest in extensive development; it is enough for him to control KMA-Ore in the region of the Kursk magnetic anomaly and a medium-sized share holding of Lebedinsky GOK.
		Lisin himself, who once operated the Russian affairs of such a holding, namely, Trans World Group, and successful destroyed it, explains the aspiration to spend money on production simply: in five to seven years, all the empires constructed by his competitors will be noncompetitive because of the technological gap with the West.
		Vladimir Lisin is not without reason proudly called "the professor" in NLMK press releases: in the end, he was the first to make conclusions from a banal consideration.
