Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin is confident that Russia and its economy will successfully overcome the unprecedented external pressure.

"Despite the fact that our dream of an open global economy, of unshakable laws, protecting the inviolability of property and contractual obligations, of equal legal guarantees for all turned out to be an illusion, despite the historically unprecedented external pressure, we repeat the great words that were pronounced in June of 1941 and have since become a symbol of the insuperable spirit of our people: "Our cause is right! The enemy will be destroyed, the victory will be ours!"!" said the CEO of Rosneft, speaking at the Energy Panel at the XXVIII St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

Rosneft CEO, concluding his report "Odyssey Of the Global Economy in Search Of the Golden Fleece. The New Landscape Of Global Energy" reminded the participants of the Energy Panel that having extracted the fleece, the Argonauts returned to Greece, but did not find happiness.

"But what is the meaning of the myth, if evil is followed only by evil, and good intentions turn into their opposite? Perhaps the meaning is that the Golden Fleece, obtained by criminal means, does not bring happiness, and evil always begets evil. The miracle will not happen," Igor Sechin concluded.
