Kremlin Inc.?

There is a strong lobby within the [Russian] government to subject all foreign investors seeking minority stakes in certain industries to an approval process controlled by the FSB, the domestic successor of the KGB.

A little scary. From a WashPost story on renationalization, Russian-style.

Meanwhile, in Bolivia traditional nationalization is largely complete on paper, but continues to move slowly in practice. See excellent discussion on the topic from our PSD Blog commenters.
