ЧТО НОВОГО? /WHAT’S NEW?/Russia extends loan to Belarus - RBC, 05.03.2009, Moscow 15:49:45.Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced at a government presidium meeting today that he had signed a governmental decree extending a $500m loan to Belarus. He commissioned the Finance Ministry to carry out the decree with no delays. As reported earlier, a memorandum on understanding between the Russian and Belarusian governments was inked on November 2008, stipulating for $2bn worth of loans to be granted to Belarus in 2008-2009. The first tranche of $1bn was transferred in 2008. Back then, it was announced that the second portion of the loan would be extended once the parties worked out concerted steps to sharpen the competitive edge of their respective economies. The action plan was to be worked out by February 2009, and the second tranche was expected by February 28, 2009.

Rick: Oh, it’s not so bad. It has its ups and downs, but I think I am doing fine. E: Can you be a bit more specific. You are a system administrator, right? R: That’s what they call me. Although as our company is very small, I do pretty much everything IT-related. E: Can you tell me what you have to do on day-to-day basis? R: Sure. I manage the computer net at our office, take care of any system glitches that may happen, make sure all the needed software is available and up to date, and of course I constantly have to help the office staff with their computer-related problems. E: Do you have to produce any reports? R: Not really. I do make a verbal report at the end-of-the-month staff meetings, explain some major issues that I had to deal with and occasionally make a lecture about safety. E: Well, that certainly sounds interesting. Do you ever get bored? R: Of course, there are some slow days. But mostly I am busy every day and with different problems, so it’s exciting.
