Quite possibly, Alrosa has their financial act together for a major international listing...their financial statements are in IFRS format from 2002 to YTD! WOW..that's lot of work. At one time they were talking of listing on LSE which is good and I think they qualify but LSE requires that 25% of the equity be public....Alrosa's stated intent is around 20% but this does not mean that they cannot around this...they may just decide to spin out 25% public equity..Besides, Putin does not like the US$...who knows what hmay happen but Alrosa is getting ready to IPO.
