NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RussOil Corp. (OTCBB:RUSO) announced today that it has executed a
definitive purchase agreement with OSJC Smolenergy, an oil and gas
company with 100% of its assets located in Siberia, Russia.
Under the terms of the agreement, Russoil will acquire 100% of
Smolenergy in consideration of 110,000,000 restricted shares of Russoil

day-to-day operations of the company. The closing is subject to the
delivery of audited financial statements of Smolenergy, legal
