Sergey, I personally think it is all 3.

Russians are paying $47 for gas now, and from what I understand that will be increasing. It simply doesn't make sense for Gazprom to give gas to other countries below cost.

The reason I put 3 theories, Gary, was that at the beginning of the 2006, the price for Belarus was at $47.

Now a few months later there is this sudden shift to market prices. So other theories have their probability too, although I think theory #3 is more likely than others.
