YUKOS is an abbriviation. YUganskneftegas + KuibyshevnefteOrgSintez = YUKOS As well, www.yukos.com uses the abbriviation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vancouverguy (talk • contribs) 04:20, 5 November 2003 (UTC)

Webcast
Did you hear the Tuesday, November 16 webcast with CFO Bruce K. Misamore and CEO Steven M. Theede, , (Presentation)? Steven Theede: "It would be in everbody's, everybody's, best interest to solve this in a more business like way". They sound like very savvy managers. - Jerryseinfeld 00:38, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Management
I believe both Steven M. Theede and Bruce K. Misamore left their jobs and the country a few weeks back. Bruce Misamore (and perhaps both) left because of fear of being "arrested". - Jerryseinfeld 16:23, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Apparently they didn't leave their jobs? - Jerryseinfeld 18:31, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Language
"And feared to return." Oh, really? Can we keep it clean? Remove that last thing. - Jerryseinfeld 18:25, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

"According to people familiar with the auction only two bidders registered for, and was present during the auction process" Please fix this grammar mistake — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.188.24.218 (talk) 18:25, 20 December 2004 (UTC)

"OAO" YUKOS
Please do not add "OAO" in front of YUKOS. "OAO" is "Open Stock Society" in Russian. It is NOT a part of the English language name of the company. The name is Yukos Oil Company or Yukos Oil Corporation. --Gene s 05:36, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

January 2006
It should be noted somewhere that YUKOS also offered to pay the sum it "owed" to the Russian government in full at one point, only to find that it's bank accounts had been frozen to prevent it from doing so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.161.92.145 (talk) 02:04, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Stephen Curtis
Er, shouldn't Stephen Curtis' death be included somewhere in this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.129.121.138 (talk) 21:51, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Anon, who was he? Harald88 22:13, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I wasn't Anon, but from Bank Menatep:
 * On 3 March 2004, Stephen Curtis, managing director of Group Menatep (created in 1997) since November 2003 (shortly after Khodorkovsky was arrested), and his pilot Matthew Radford died in a helicopter crash, near Bournemouth International Airport, in the south of England. In November 2005 a British jury concluded that the crash was accidental, rejecting any conspiracy theory. It had been told that the aircraft had been sabotaged.[3] Stephen Curtis, a lawyer, had played a key role in creating Menatep's network of offshore structure in the 1990s, according to the Moscow Times[4]. --Rajah 00:13, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

October 2006
The Yukos Affair--open to debate--changed the Russian political system. Though he denied his own personal involvement in Yukos, Vladimir Putin certainly centralized a great deal of power by arresting the most politically active oligarch in Russia. I would argue that in doing so, Putin effectively removed the balance between the KGB and the oligarchs. In the larger context of Russian "democracy", no one could continue to assert--from the outside or within the Federation--that Putin represented the population at large, for his power base effectively truncated into the KGB--specifically that which remains a formidable entity in St. Petersburg (aka Siloviki) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.9.47.234 (talk) 19:33, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Fascinating. But I can't understand the final sentence in the lead section. Maybe needs a comma or something - could just be me. Thanks zzz (talk) 18:53, 30 July 2014 (UTC) ...or a verb zzz (talk) 19:00, 30 July 2014 (UTC) ...or the word 'inference' has a technical jargon meaning here. zzz (talk) 19:04, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

2014 Court Case
The article doesn't seem to explain what the court's jurisdiction is, or how it arose. Can that explanation be added in? Hires an editor (talk) 01:06, 31 July 2014 (UTC)


 * The German wikipedia page explains the jurisdiction like this: Bei den klagenden Yukos-Aktionären handelt es sich um Zwischengesellschaften mit Sitz in den europäischen Steuerparadiesen Zypern und der Isle of Man, die dadurch in den Genuss des Schutzes der Europäischen Energiecharta gelangten. Dass diese Zwischengesellschaften russischen Staatsangehörigen gehörten und die Aktien mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit sogar treuhänderisch für russische Staatsangehörige gehalten wurden, befand das Schiedsgericht für unerheblich. Ad hoc translation: The claiming Yukos shareholders are (now were) intermediary companies HQed in the European tax paradises (sic) Cyprus and Isle of Man through which they moved into the protection of the European Energy Charta. That those intermediary companies belong to Russian citizens and the shares were even, in all probablity, held in trust for Russian citizens was not relevant, the arbitration court decided. 101.166.86.118 (talk) 00:26, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

NPOV
The article was NPOV tagged, however the editor who adds the tag should address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies. Keri (talk) 13:42, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Yukos NEWS
Russia Bank accounts frozen. First in France and the België. Sorry. Has read this in German. (Intended to settle in Germany at all.)
 * Russlands Staatschef Wladimir Putin Widerstand gegen die Maßnahmen angekündigt. „Wir werden unsere Interessen auf dem juristischen Weg verteidigen“, sagte Putin am Rande eines Wirtschaftsforums in St. Petersburg. „Unsere Position ist klar, Russland erkennt die Rechtmäßigkeit dieses Gerichts nicht an“, fügte er hinzu.

Das russische Außenministerium hatte erklärt, Belgien habe die Konten der russischen Botschaft sowie von Russlands Missionen bei der EU und der NATO eingefroren. https://www.welt.de/wirtschaft/article142807085/Putin-droht-der-EU-im-50-Milliarden-Dollar-Streit.htmlYukos Actioner (talk) 16:48, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The ones of the Machtelita the judiciary of Belgique consider the Colonel Voennaia Rozvedka Russ ( GRU diplomat of  Russia) ala "Ass to Beat ". Something like a Wikipedia user.
 * Did not even have a precautionary surveillance! (explained, "much to do with Wikipedia.")

Yukos Actioner2 (talk) 13:38, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Stimmy not at all. The Russian diplomat only stood by. And no one poisoned.Bruxelloser123456 (talk) 15:49, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Ye ! On the one hand, the Colonel - Resident (all regional GRU bosses are Colonel 's and Diplomate, presumably) is the general, General procurator of the king, a subordinate rank. On the other hand, the GRU Colone in Brussels and the whole kingdom has more than 2,500 officers, agents, simpatisants, and so on. Over 65 years of Russo-Belg friendship, this colony grew up. So to wait quietly what is the "blow" (a "pricocement bancaire"), perhaps, a little unknown? (What's more for Wikipedia users than normal, as they work free of charge for censorship, correction and observation, and do not even guess.) If, the Colonel Voenaia Rozvedka decided to settle down "the blow" and "pricocement bankaire" calmly. Must the agency, Riredentur and illigale Ofizerië with "peace offer" on "the altar" the accreditation in the Kingdom. So with the boss - resident could stay on the cheap place.Yukos Aktioner44786645 (talk) 12:40, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Ich denke . Fetzige Judo-Masson (GRU Diplomat) der Verteidigungsministerium of Russland sind so wie so am  Ende. Beteiligung in  organisierte Vergiftung  der Bundeskanzler,  der President of Russland Medvedev, Mitbeteiligung in  national Tragödia   flamisches Völlk und weitere "Verdienste" in die EU . Ihn reicht maximum für ein  beschädigte Wiki User, ja .Wolfgang Schäuble Zweite (talk) 13:57, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Und, den Videokameras in türkisch- Waschsallon, - Abdeckung – Abschirmung gewährleisten. Die Rede, wenn wir richtig verstanden haben, über 72 000 000 0000 dolar's ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris VAN AELST (talk • contribs) 14:16, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Wegen dieses quasi "die Vollzug des Urteils des Gerichtes " alle Bewohner des Königreiches fühlen sich Ausgeliefert . Ausgeliefert, als die Erste ,- bruxellose (User’s Wikipedia.org, inclusive) . Und, so gar  die Angehörige Royale Haus Boudouin auch.  Zum Glück ,  nur in die letzte Reihe . Ausgeliefert in die Hände zwei  Exekuteur’s - Diplomat’s der Russischen Föderation (der Presseattache und der Kultur-Attaché der Botschaft der Russischen Föderation in Brüssel). Was werden diese Anstellen ? Um der Vollksgeldes zurückzuhollen  d?! Wer von erstem wird (von frei Hg -Radikalen (gesprochen wird auch  über das Uran 235 der Russischen Föderation)) ala "des Bockes " oder in der Qualität "die Opfer  des Friedlich ",  zu fallen? Ein  in einem  in einem der Mehrfamilienhaüser, Rue AD. De Brandt Street, Bruxelles,  wohnende  schurk - Agent  (25 - siehe 35 Jahre, 165 - 170; des dichten Körperbaues mit den Fettablagerungen auf dem Bauch, dunkel, kurz geschnitete Haar, ohne den Bart und Schnurrbärte  , die runde zufriedene Gesicht) erfüllen schon  die Aufträge .(Die Aufträge die  noch vor 50 Jahren gut vorbereitet (10 zg/L. in Law; Antidot ' s unter ein Verboht.)


 * The whole scam is like a rally. (The court requested 72,000,000,000 euros - "frozen" ... <1,000,000 euros.) Or, a provocation? And in either case, the participation of boys and girls Wikipedia. Org is quite appropriate. The freezing of 10,000 euros from the Military Intelligence of the Russian Federation in Belgium passed, otherwise as with their consent. (Well, they all know about everyone!)YukosAktionerDritte (talk) 14:43, 31 July 2017 (UTC)


 * What is the countermove Russia diplomacy? Russia diplomats in the kingdom put in an interesting position. Regarding payments via a foreign bank. Banks for international transactions are 5 to 10 times more expensive. The gas station "Yukos" (in Rayon Forest - Brussels) remain ready for customers. And that's good !YukosAktionerKemal (talk) 15:47, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Vulgar, brutal attacks on the representative of Military Intelligence accredited with NATO's stew. For many, he is in the role of "Jesus Christ the Savior".Tataromongol (talk) 14:17, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
