Russia's energy trade is on the mend after more than a year of plunging revenues, according to the latest estimates.
Russia's oil and gas revenues are expected to rise around 733 billion rubles, or $7.6 billion through the month of September, according to an estimate from Reuters published Tuesday. That's a 14% jump from the $6.6 billion in profits Russia raked in during the month of August, and a 7% increase from September of last year, when Russia took $7.1 billion from its oil and gas sales.
