Romney Invests in Russia, Loses Money

U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who is known in Russia for calling it America's "number one geopolitical foe," last year acquired and sold shares in the politically powerful Russian gas giant Gazprom. Ann and Mitt Romney's family tax return, released Friday, shows Romney sold his Gazprom stock at a loss last September in advance of election season. Romney's 2011 tax return also shows hundreds of dropped shares of Russian internet firm, Yandex, sold at a loss in August of 2011. Romney's financials for 2011 show dropped investments in over 1000 shares of Gazprom and Yandex combined.
