TNK-BP are doing only what is in their intrest, not Russian's.

Western media are fool of government spin about "oligarchs", "autocratic" Russians in regards to Kovykta development. Double standard as usual when it comes to Russia, in their "freedoms" they refuse to sell any business they deem strategic. Russian leadership is to be congratulated and supported for looking after Russian interests first.
