time of high oil prices Explanation: I wouldn't use 'era' as it is used in the next sentence, and 'age' is too long. |

peer agreement (net): +1era of oil magnates' opportunism Explanation: There's a Russian word "конъюнктурщик". It means opportunist, time-server and has a negative connotation. I think конъюнктура is used here in the meaning of "time of oil opportunists", when oil magnates were allowed too much, Khodorkovski's arrest marking the end of this time. |
