The Kremlin has decided to restrict foreign companies' access to 39 strategic Russian economic sectors.

Economy Minister German Gref said Thursday those restricted sectors include weapons production, the nuclear industry and mineral deposits, MosNews reported.

At the same time, Gref said foreign direct investments are crucial if Russia is to maintain its economic growth. He noted that foreign investment rose 10.6 percent in 2005, although most of it went into a small group of companies in transport, the minerals sector and real estate.

2. "The Kremlin" is short on cash...they owe money to

the IMF and the World Bank from the 90's. The interest they are paying off from these loans amount to billions of dollars, which is now going into the pockets of the US treasury as devident....they are not in position to limit the sale of weapons to the world, because it is their only crop....they so depend on it to pay off these IMF loans.
