Lukoil's Spanish ambitions probably derive in part from the same calculation that has underlain many companies' foreign expansion since the Yukos affair: that owning high-profile assets internationally is insurance against Kremlin assault.

Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
