Vadim, 

I would recommend that you speak to Nikolay and we all speak as a group before you get back in touch with the Wall Street Journal. As mentioned, I'm not convinced that this is a smart strategy for Nikolay, so would like to talk it through prior to any further engagement (if any). 

Thanks - Ryan

Colleagues, I suggest I contact him via email or phone, in order not to put under risk the name of Chairman of the board- Alan and find out about the deadline of his, etc.
And get back to you, meanwhile I ll talk to Nikolay as to wether he would be comfortable taking live interview. And we ll discuss it during phone call.

Best , Vadym

Vadim, 

Our initial reaction is that it’s a bit premature to do this kind of interview.  Are you the person who is corresponding with Paul Sonne? If so — I would find out if he has any sort of deadline, and if he is writing this for the WSJ or another publication? His questions imply that he is writing a softer profile of Nikolay and that doesn’t seem particularly logical in light of his initial article on Devon and Hunter’s appointment.  Finally — would the shareholder feel comfortable doing an in-person interview like this? This would be a big “get” for Sonne. We should just consider these issues and perhaps talk through this all as a group before proceeding one way or another. 

Please advise.  Thanks Vadim

Dear Heather, please update me on recent events regarding possible publication in AP.
Colleagues yesterday told me but It looks like I missed this issue.
Also, We have been contacted by that journalist who wrote article in WSJ,I believe his name is Paul. The article btw was not bad, if I remember correctly. Anyway he suggests to take interview from the Nikolay. I believe it could be good idea to include in our short term PR program.
Preliminary he sent a list of questions that he would like to pose. And he wants to have live interview. Questions are mostly general.

Bets regard, Vadym

Dear Heather, thank you for information provided. Let me discuss that with Nikolay and get back to you on this. Please also note that following my discussion with him and subsequent joint conversations together with Hunter, Nikolay totally is in line with what you recommended in respect of Nardello company. Before we start on this we would need to discuss with you the details and I will get back to you on this during the weekend, since we are traveling again the whole day today.
 Best regards, Vadym

Vadim – Please note the following related to Nikolai’s visa:

1.     The U.S. State Department has confirmed that Nikolai’s visa has, in fact, been revoked and is no longer valid for application for entry into the U.S. (Please note that the State Department said their communications with us about this are to serve as official notification to Nikolai that it has been revoked.) 

2.     We were told that the Embassy used its discretion to revoke the visa “based on information that it received subsequent to the issuance of the visa” but has not been willing to explain further what that information might be. 

3.     Please keep in mind that Nikolai’s visa was issued in 2011 for 5 years and as many entries as he wanted to the U.S.  Given the more recent turmoil in Ukraine, and heightened security concerns in the U.S. related thereto, it is not unusual that the U.S. would want to issue more limit visas to Ukrainians generally.  In addition, I have no doubt that they are especially focused on a former government official associated with Yanukovych.

4.     The good news is that the Embassy made no suggestion that he is subject to any sort of ongoing visa ban, as has been suggested in some press, and encouraged us to advise him to submit a new visa application to the U.S. Embassy.  I would recommend that he submit such an application; if it is denied, then we will know that there may be a more serious problem and we will need to inquire at a higher level at the State Department.
