Catherine Belton writes: A corporate battle that has blighted Russia’s investment climate for years took a big step towards resolution on Monday whenTelenor, the Norwegian telecoms operator, and its Russian partner, Alfa Group, said they would merge their Russian and Ukrainian holdings. The deal would merge Vimpelcom, Russia’s number two mobile operator, with Ukraine’s Kyivstar to create a new New York-listed entity worth more than $23 billion. Oct 6, 2009 at 06:34 |

Gregory L. White and Will Bland: Facing a loss of most of its investment, Norway's Telenor ASA agreed to merge its Russian and Ukrainian telecom assets with those of Alfa Group, the partner with whom it has been fighting a five-year boardroom battle. Both sides said the proposed $23 billion deal will put an end to one of Russia's fiercest corporate wars, including the court case that had led bailiffs to seize most of Telenor's Russian investment.
