I agree with you Slava but don't trust the current government to follow through with savings. Look at their history. The heritage fund started off great but has been raided during good years and is now worth less than ever. They couldn't spend the money in the fund but have had no qualms about spending the growth/interest.
To get around the bad publicity of pulling money out of the Heritage fund the government stopped putting surplus money in the fund and redirected it to the sustainability fund instead. That money is almost gone now and yet oil revenue hardly dipped at all and has now increased to cover most of the loss from low gas prices.
