Bankruptcy procedures for the company are to be over by November when it will be liquidated. It took roughly four years to wind up one of Russia's biggest oil holdings. Mikhail Khodorkovsky's empire was virtually handed over to state-run Rosneft.

Rosneft now aspires to become a world leader, something that YUKOS was also aiming at. http://www.ipo-congress.ru/eng/analytics/articles/id/4322/ Tue, 21 Aug 2007 11:48:11 +0400 Rosneft may fall after oil prices declined.
