A local businessman, the owner of a tourist camp, counts Russian roubles earned during the weekend at a tourist base outside the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, Russia, August 9, 2015. Russia's largest gas producer Gazprom beat expectations with a 71 percent jump in first-quarter net profit after weakness in the rouble more than compensated for a drop in sales volumes to Europe. Gazprom's prices for gas sold to Europe are linked to the price of oil, but a time lag of several months means that its sales in the three months to March 31 were at prices pegged to oil at almost twice its January level of around $50 a barrel.
