Financial news: Gazprom Neft places a pilot issue of over-the-counter bonds on the Finuslugi marketplace.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Gazprom Neft will list its over-the-counter bonds for the first time on Moscow Exchange's Finuslugi marketplace. This collaboration between two technology leaders in the oil and financial industries offers investors a simple and reliable investment tool in key Russian energy projects.

Gazprom Neft's bond offering will total 10 billion rubles. The bonds, sold through Finuslugi, are not listed on the stock exchange and are only available to individuals.

A floating coupon linked to the Bank of Russia's key rate (KS 0.5 percentage points) could potentially provide Gazprom Neft bonds with a high yield among issuers with a credit rating of AAA listed on Finuslugi at the time of placement.

The bonds have a fixed face value of 1,000 rubles. They can be purchased on the Finuslugi marketplace website or mobile app. No brokerage account is required: all transactions are conducted directly between the individual and the issuer. Simply register in your personal account or the Finuslugi mobile app using your Gosuslugi account.

Applications for the purchase of bonds will be accepted:

from 08:00 Moscow time on December 18 until 16:00 Moscow time on December 26, 2025, from 16:00 Moscow time on December 30, 2025 until full redemption.

The bonds have a maturity of 1,080 days (until December 2, 2028). Interest on the bonds accrues daily, and coupon payments are made monthly. Bonds will be redeemed at par value, taking into account the accrued coupon income (ACI). Investors will be able to submit bonds for redemption without waiting for the end of the circulation period: from February 3, 2026, to November 23, 2028. Applications will be processed within six business days, and coupon income will be calculated until the application is processed. Therefore, investors will not lose interest while their application is being processed.

Igor Alutin, Senior Managing Director for Retail Business and the Finuslugi Marketplace at Moscow Exchange:

"By expanding our range of OTC bonds, we strive to provide clients with not just reliable and profitable instruments, but also create opportunities for investment in the country's largest companies and most important projects. Therefore, we are particularly proud to welcome Gazprom Neft, a key player in the Russian oil and gas industry, to our list of issuers. We are confident that our collaboration will give new impetus to the development of investment instruments that will help them take a conscious step toward a sustainable future and financial freedom."

Bonds are available for purchase to tax residents of the Russian Federation who have reached the age of majority.

Musical life: For Sviridov's anniversary, Melodiya is releasing a digital album of his vocal music.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Melody – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

To mark the 110th anniversary of Georgy Sviridov's birth, Melodiya presents an album of his vocal music – songs and romances performed by Alexander Vedernikov and the author.

Vocal compositions are one of the largest sections of Sviridov's oeuvre. He devoted a special place to short, chamber, intimate songs that reflect the state of the ordinary person.

The album consists of works from various years, including extensive vocal series: "Songs to the Poems of Robert Burns," the vocal poem "Glory of the Fathers," songs to the poems of Avetik Isaakyan, and romances to the poems of Alexander Pushkin. Songs written outside the cycles are drawn to them like companions.

The renowned bass Alexander Vedernikov, a master of subtle acting and nuances of intonation and sound, was the first performer of many of the composer's song cycles. His recordings reveal how Georgy Sviridov worked with poetry, how important the poetic word was to him, and how at times the music deceptively faded into the background to emphasize a line or a thought. The album presents a gallery of unnamed heroes from the people, to whom the composer, along with his chosen poets, gave a voice and the right to be heard.

For the composer's anniversary, the Melodiya company prepared a releasesecond vocal albummusic dedicated to choral works. The digital album will be available on December 19.
