Difficult and responsible
is the role of an oligarch in the modern Russia. It is necessary to keep an eye
on everything - on economy, politics and public sentiments. You should watch
lest they would strike there and if they would behave themselves correctly
here, make agreements with everybody in time and wouldn't offend anybody. At
the same time you must keep looking at neighboring countries. Oh, how unwise
they are! They aim at acting in their own way. Who has permitted? Who has
ordered? You have hit upon this idea yourselves? It is all for nothing... One
must not think oneself; there are bright heads of oligarchs meant for it. They
have already decided for everyone.
Oleg Deripaska is one of the most outstanding representatives of the new
Russian business-elite. With being included in the Forbes ratings for many
years, this man is absorbing everybody's attention by his words and deeds. He
became the example for many.
Deripaska has shown
remarkable entrepreneurial skills from the studentship. There exists either an
anecdote or fairy-tale until now about how Oleg managed to sell dozens of tons
of sugar to a big government organization. In 1990th he knew well
how to enjoy all advantages that the new Russian state and legislation gave
him. As a result, a powerful industrial and investment empire was
established. Moreover, Deripaska has always been loyal to the authorities so as
to possess their support, protection and administrative resources. He
didn't follow the path of Gusinsky, Berezovsky and Hodorkovsky. There are such
people as Choubais and Abramovich among his friends and partners. He married
the daughter of Valentin Yumashev, Polina. He could not make his choice by
accident.
Oleg Deripaska is very sensitive to public opinion and takes every possibility
to give it the required vector. Here is the direct quotation from a mass media
source: «I'm interested in two things - product advertising and guaranteed
possibility to express my point of view». Perhaps that was the reason why in
1999 the oligarch decided to found his own media holding. Besides, he had a
hand in publication of «The Vremia Novostey» newspaper. Restless rumors insist
that Oleg bought the development of The Effective Politics Fund of Gleb
Pavlovsky - network newspaper «Gazeta.Ru». Not without his participation, the
closed joint stock company «The Six Channel» was established in 2002.
During Vladimir Putin's presidency, Deripaska brought himself to the forefront.
He became an irreplaceable assistant and adviser of the authorities in many economic
issues. Practically always he accompanied the head of state in his visits to
former USSR Central Asiatic republics. The oligarch has a deliberate interest
to this region. Cheap labor and unstable economic and political situation that
frightens off rival investors from far abroad are very attractive for
Deripaska. For example, he could put his eye on the aluminum plant in
Tajikistan. Unstable public sentiments are not obstacles for him. According to
Deripaska, business management system that was built up correctly would
influence and even form the local authorities; and further on direct the state
of public opinion. Here is an adopted variant of the US democracy
expansion in the Third world countries.
Deripaska is the author of the program article «Russia's strategy in 21 century»,
the gist of which is in the transition of economy from «offshore to
onshore state». Vladimir Putin more than once noted the oligarch's personal and
remarkable contribution to the Russian economy, both by his deeds and his money,
how to do without it. The interaction of the authorities and large-scale
business in the person of Deripaska was adjusted long ago, it must work without
fail. For example, it is necessary to invest any money to improvement of
education among state officials. No problem! The oligarch's private fund «Volnoe
delo» puts up 5 million dollars to the Moscow State University Higher
Management School. The reverse may also be true. The head of Plekhanov Academy
submitted an application to the President about the changing of management form
in order to acquire the status of an independent organization. Oleg Deripaska
was ready to become its partner, naturally, for a round sum.
Such close connection between the authorities and Deripaska has given cause for
rumors that the oligarch is a figure-head. They say, all his property is the
property of the state; and the pseudo-oligarch is a
top-manager successfully hired at the beginning of 1990th.
An important event took place in Oleg's life not long ago. He pulled out the
title of the richest man in Russia from Roman Abramovich. He also took an
attempt to win off the governor of the Chukot region at a football ground.
Deripaska hold negotiations for buying the control stock of London's
football club «Arsenal». However, he failed. London seems to be too small for
two oligarchs.
Lingerie for women was just the plain underwear until the 20th century when it became the mean self-expression, as the subject of esthetic admiration. A piece of lingerie seen in between the women wear looked quite shocking to be shame and no one thought of designing luxury items based on lingerie, leaving alone works of art. Today every woman dreams of having a pair, or even more, of luxury and high quality lingerie to associate with sexuality, sensibility and attraction with male.
Today the knitwear is presented in so many styles and
it is so popular that no single autumn and spring collections can do without
hosiery. Knit
women's coats are offered in classic, sporty, romantic, vintage, casual and
ethnic styles. The demand for knit coats
grows in line with the more increasing range of color and texture of woolen
yarn as merino wool, angora, alpaca, Kashmir. Globally known brands launch knit
coats for women in their latest collections and most celebrities today appear
wearing knitwear for many occasions and that's hard to picture that some time
back it was something different.
First established in 1860, Chopard is one of the reputed watch and jewelry houses producing incredibly beautiful, fascinating jewelry items and watches of dream. The house also launched a number of celebrated fragrances as Casmir, Wish, Madness and Infiniment. Despite the long and solid history of the brand, it appeared only recently in the market of fragrances with the first fragrance Chopard launched only in 1992. Six years later, in 1996, the Chopard House presented its Mira-Bai, the fragrance which is still in favor among women keen on oriental scents. Mira-Bai shows no intentions to compete with such a fashion-setter in the sphere of oriental compositions as Guerlain Shalimar, though the fragrance by Chopard takes its niche among the classic perfumes in the market of oriental perfume.
Perfume launched y the Japanese brands or the one inspired by the Japanese culture is something so special in the international market of perfume. Unlike the other fragrances produced in bulk, such perfume with the traces of Japanese inspiration and life surely exert attention and this is reasonable: it is not only the perfume to market and ear money but the whole philosophy, covert but absolute. So, most perfume launched by the famous Japanese culture followers take their niches in the global market, like Kenzo and Issey Miyake. Issey Miyake launched the genially iconic fragrance of the 90s with such a simple and unpretentious name as Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey.
