Pricing in the alternative telecom sector such as mobile operators is regulated by the operators themselves. Market itself establishes capping.

MBT (Russian telephone, internet, and wireless subscriptions!).

And a side note, the presidential election will not stop this company's stock growth as Russia's overall productivity growth and telecommunications always encourages more productivity unless your Silicon Valley high school cheerleaders, in which it only encourages backstabbing and tearful prom queens. 

Due to president election in Russia, all RTS stock market will be under pressure. MBT may go below $55 on NYSE

I would not recomend to buy any Russian RTS 1 stocks.. (stocks listed outside Russian Trading System)

But there is a great stocks on RTS 2 market, these stocks not listed on London SE or NYSE so they not overbought.

AND PLEASE, DONT USE RUSSIAN TRADING SYSTEM (RTS) FOR DAY TRADING..
