and this very much is the result of a blood match with his nemesis, vladimir putin. and, of course, one of the big questions is, when will he get out? no one knows. but the other question is, what exactly did he do? and there has been a great deal of coverage of mikhail. and i didn't want to add to that whole literature. but what i have tried to do is to go into his company, and i've had interviews with a number of the players in that company to try to find out what was unique about that company that he built, what was unique that enabled it to double oil production within four short years? how was that done? and so you'll find there is a chapter on that side of the story. and then lastly i have to say that this is a story of guilty love, which i'll come back to if you ask me. so what's the book really about? all right. let me give you the main points here, and i'll keep this brief because the basic structure, the skeleton of the book is something that's quickly told, and it's basically an analysis. it culminates in a prediction. this industry which is now at this mo

mother nature could save vladimir putin yet. >> question: did the russians have any revenue exports of significance apart from oil and gas, or is this batesically it? >> the magic numbers are 53 and 12. 53 is the percentage of russian exports that come from oil. 1%2% of -- 12% of the russian exports come from gas which is worth keeping in perspective because we may be heading for a first class -- [inaudible] between the europeans and the russians over gas exports. and it's important to remember that the russians are far more dependent on oil exports than they are on gas. >> on average what percentage of the selling price does the russian government get? >> it gets across the board about 60%, but that's 60% of the gross revenues. if you look at the percentage of the profit at the margin that is taken by the russian government, it's above 95%. in other words, the oil companies get to keep very little. >> so it's like 95 percent marginal tax rate. >> that's right. it's one of the highest in the world. >> and that's one of the reasons the industry's kind of screwed up. >> absolutely. that'
