Ironically, 2006 is also the year that Russia takes over the chair of the Group of Eight industrialized countries, which is set to meet in Moscow this spring. The improbable theme that Russian President Vladimir Putin chose for the conference is energy security.
具有讽刺意味的是，2006年俄罗斯成为八国集团轮值主席国，今年春天，八国集团将聚会莫斯科。俄罗斯总统普京为本次会议所选择的不大可能的主题是能源安全。
