Cooperation between Russia, the world's No. 2 oil exporter, and OPEC member Venezuela has been dismissed by the United States as mostly talk but is watched with concern by Colombia, which has stormy ties with its Latin American neighbor. Chavez began his visit with a 2-1/2 hour speech to Moscow students in which he berated the United States for seeking to control the world with a "terrorist" empire. "The United States wants to dominate the entire world... The empire of the Yanks will fall this century and I am not talking about the end of the century but in the next decades," Chavez told about 1,000 students. "That is why it is so important that Russia is getting up from its knees -- this is the great inheritance from Putin," he said in a speech which feted Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin and Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Chavez was greeted warmly by students of the Patrice Lumumba Peoples' Friendship University, though scores left early to watch a World Cup soccer qualifier between Russia and Wales. The Kremlin, which under Putin's presidency from 2000 to 2008 frequently clashed with Washington, has previously sought to distance itself from Chavez's fiery anti-U.S. rhetoric. The Kremlin said talks with President Dmitry Medvedev and Putin, who now serves as prime minister, would focus on widening military and energy cooperation. "About 10 agreements which embrace the fuel and energy sector, military technical cooperation and finance have been prepared," said Kremlin foreign policy aide Sergei Prikhodko. ARMS, ENERGY Chavez, a former soldier who led an abortive 1990s coup before later winning an election, has purchased more than $4 billion worth of Russian arms to rearm the Venezuelan army, including fighters and thousands of Kalashnikovs. The Kremlin said no major arms deals were expected during the visit but that Russia could lend Venezuela money to buy its military equipment. Chavez has said he wants to buy dozens of Russian tanks to counter a planned increase in U.S. military cooperation with Venezuela's Andean neighbor Colombia. Venezuela and Colombia came close to war last year and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe has accused Chavez of supporting FARC Marxist rebels fighting Bogota. Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA and a consortium of Russian companies were expected to present a joint venture to develop a block in the Orinoco oil belt this month. Continued...
