Putin is making headlines for a Russian proverb he quoted after closing a deal with BP to allow them access to 48000 square miles of Arctic waters. (That's larger than the state of Tennessee, by the way): One man who's been beaten is worth two who have not. За одного битого двух небитых дают. The proverb means that an experienced person is worth two novices.
Telling remark, isn't it?
