Alexey Miller's career at Gazprom

Alexey Miller, with the help of Vladimir Putin, carried out reforms at Gazprom, as reported in his biography on Wikipedia, the result of this activity was that by the beginning of 2004, the Russian Federation owned 38.7% of Gazprom shares and had a majority on the Board of Directors.

By 2004, the formation of the updated Gazprom management apparatus came to an end. In 2006, Miller's employment contract was extended for another five years.

On December 9, 2005, the State Duma adopted amendments to the law “On Gas Supply in the Russian Federation”, according to which the share of shares owned by state-owned companies cannot be lower than 50% plus one share, and restrictions are also established for foreign citizens and companies.

Gazprom's Wikipedia page states that in 2007, the company was included for the first time in the annual list of the hundred most respected firms and companies in the world according to the weekly Barron's. In May 2008, Gazprom became the third largest company in the world by capitalization.

In May 2008, the company had a maximum price and Alexey Miller noted that in 7-8 years its capitalization should grow from $365.1 billion to one trillion. But in the fall of the same year it collapsed to 77.1 billion, says Wikipedia.

At the beginning of 2010, head Alexey Miller took third place in the ranking of the most effective top managers in the world according to Harvard Business Review.

In January 2018, Gazprom asked the Russian government to allow the company to sell its own gas on the St. Petersburg Commodity and Raw Materials Exchange (SPbMTSE) without any restrictions. As reported in the news, Alexey Miller sent this letter to the Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

Relations between Gazprom and Naftogaz

A special place in the activities of Alexey Miller as the head of Gazprom was occupied by relations with the Ukrainian Naftogaz. The “gas wars” between Russia and Ukraine continued for years, and the situation became especially difficult after Euromaidan, when Kyiv stopped paying for gas. Then Vladimir Putin said that Gazprom would “supply gas only in the volumes that will be paid by the Ukrainian side a month in advance. What they pay is what they get.”

On June 2, 2014, Alexey Miller reported that the price of blue fuel for Ukraine could drop below $385.5 per thousand cubic meters as a result of a discount from Gazprom.

On June 16, due to regular non-payments by Naftogaz of Ukraine, Gazprom introduced a prepayment regime for gas supplies for Ukraine. In addition, Gazprom filed a claim with the Stockholm Arbitration Court against the Ukrainian government for a total amount of about $4.5 billion. Dmitry Medvedev, commenting on the news that Russia will supply gas to Ukraine only after advance payment and repayment of all debts, wrote: “The freebie is over.”

In July, Alexey Miller reported that Ukraine’s total debt for fuel supplied by Gazprom reached $5.29 billion. A total of 11.5 billion cubic meters of gas remain unpaid, which is comparable to the volume of annual Russian gas supplies to Poland.

“Ukraine’s reluctance in principle to pay for Russian gas is becoming chronic and once again shows that the transfer to prepayment provided for by the terms of the contract was the only right decision,” Miller emphasized.

On October 31, 2014, gas negotiations in the Russia-Ukraine-EU format ended in Brussels. A tripartite agreement was signed, which fixed the plan for gas supplies during the winter period. The first part was signed by the President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso, Vice-President of the European Commission Gunter Oettinger, Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak and head of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine Yuri Prodan, the second document was signed by the heads of Gazprom and Naftogaz.

“We, citizens of Europe, can say that gas supplies are secure this winter, we have achieved a breakthrough. Everyone benefited from this, especially EU citizens. The transit function of Ukraine will continue to be implemented. Countries such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary will receive sufficient volumes of gas,” said Günter Oettinger.

The European Commissioner for Energy also confirmed the points reached earlier, in particular, the $100 discount from the Russian Federation and Ukraine’s obligations to pay $3.1 billion of its debt. At the same time, until March 2015, as reported in the news, Ukraine could buy gas on an advance payment basis at a price of $385 per thousand cubic meters. meters of gas or lower, according to the calculation formula. It was noted that the key issue of the negotiations on October 30 was financial guarantees from the European Commission for payment by Kiev for Russian gas supplies.

In April 2015, Gazprom and Naftogaz signed an agreement on gas supplies in the second quarter of 2015.

In 2015, Gazprom filed a lawsuit against Naftogaz, demanding to recover from the company a fee for the shortfall of contract gas volumes in 2012-2013, which it had to pay according to the take-or-pay rule (“take or pay” - annual payment minimum amount of fuel). Naftogaz, in turn, demanded a review of pricing, which it considered non-market. In 2012, Square received a discount of one hundred dollars per thousand cubic meters of gas in exchange for basing the Black Sea Fleet in Crimea. But in 2014, after Crimea became part of the Russian Federation, the discount was canceled and the price rose to $485 per thousand cubic meters. Naftogaz refused to pay this price and also went to arbitration.

In the fall of 2015, Russia again provided Ukraine with a discount on gas. As the Deputy Head of the European Commission (EC) for Energy Union Affairs said Maros Šefčović, the “winter package” of documents, in addition to the trilateral protocol, included an additional contract between Gazprom and Naftogaz.

On November 18, 2015, the European Commission gave the green light to three gas pipelines from Southeast to Central Europe, which Gazprom can use to supply the Balkans with Turkish Stream gas. These projects allowed Gazprom to solve the problem of delivering gas to European consumers, while abandoning the transit of gas through Ukraine.

Thus, Russia was going to protect itself from a gas crisis similar to the crisis in 2009, when Ukraine stole gas. The head of Gazprom, Alexey Miller, made it clear that the Russian concern will not build “strings” in the EU to continue the Turkish Stream, and the Europeans themselves need to take care of this.

At the beginning of June 2016, Gazprom received an official letter from Naftogaz with a request to resume supplies of Russian fuel. Kyiv was offered a price of $177 per thousand cubic meters, but Naftogaz considered it too high. Gazprom then issued a preliminary invoice to Kyiv for gas.

On May 31, 2017, the Stockholm Arbitration Court issued an interim decision in the dispute between Gazprom and Naftogaz regarding the contract for gas supplies to Ukraine.

On February 28, 2018, the Stockholm Arbitration Court announced a decision on the transit claim of Naftogaz against Gazprom. It was ruled in favor of the Ukrainian company and obligated the Russian gas giant to pay Naftogaz $2.56 billion.

At the same time, Naftogaz demanded even more - $17 billion. Gazprom does not agree with the decision of the Stockholm Arbitration Court, accusing it of violating Swedish law governing the contract with Naftogaz. Gazprom promised to protect its rights “by all means” that do not contradict the law.

After this, the management of Gazprom announced that it had returned the advance payment for March to Naftogaz and would not resume gas supplies. As a result, the Ukrainian authorities temporarily limited gas consumption in the country, but within 24 hours the President Petro Poroshenko announced the start of fuel supplies from Poland, Slovakia and Hungary. As it turned out, this option turned out to be four times more expensive than the Russian proposal.

Commercial Director of Naftogaz Yuri Vitrenko stated that Gazprom had underpaid his company by about $20 billion since 2009 due to the fact that tariffs for fuel transit were underestimated.

The light jet Beechjet 400A, tail number ES-NXT, worth approximately $7 million with a blue stripe on the fuselage and tail, did not look like an outsider at the business aviation exhibition at Vnukovo-3 in the fall of 2014. It has just been modernized by the American Nextant Aerospace for an unknown owner from Russia. Light beige swivel chairs by the large windows, wide tables and a sofa in the cabin - everything for a comfortable flight for eight people with a maximum speed of 833 km per hour. This compact but comfortable aircraft was registered in Estonia and operated by the Estonian company FortAero.

Beechjet 400A aircraft interior

On its website, FortAero admits that it does everything for high-profile clients, “including heads of international companies and leading government officials, as well as their partners and family members.” And he notes how convenient and profitable it is to register aircraft in Estonia - low taxes, liberal political environment...

The liberal environment has a nuance. Data on licenses for on-board radios on business jets are publicly available in the Estonian business register. And the owners of the aircraft are mentioned there.

Novaya Gazeta found out that the license for the radio station of the Beechjet 400A aircraft, tail number ES-NXT, was valid since 2014 and was extended until the beginning of 2017. All this time, the aircraft was owned by the offshore company Firmon Overseas Holdings, registered in the British Virgin Islands.

Extract from the Estonian business register about the aviation radio installed on the Beechjet 400A aircraft, reg. ES-NXT number, which says that the plane belongs to Firmon

This company was mentioned in a report about the co-owners of Bank Russia, an acquaintance of Russian President Yuri Kovalchuk. According to the bank’s documents, Firmon Overseas was completely controlled by St. Petersburg resident Ivan Mironov, the half-brother of Gazprom board member Kirill Seleznev (Seleznev previously confirmed the relationship to the Vedomosti newspaper).

We decided to find out where the company of the brother of a Gazprom top manager got a business jet worth about $7 million? And what do other relatives and partners of Gazprom’s bosses own?

History of gas distribution

Novaya Gazeta reported on Ivan Mironov in 2014, when he, together with his friend Tatyana Svitova, received a total of 11.7% of the shares of Bank Russia from the subsidiary Gazprom Mezhregiongaz, which is headed by Seleznev. Gazprom then said that they had sold non-core assets. And Novaya and Vedomosti established a connection between Mironov’s former companies and Gazprom contractors, who received contracts worth billions of rubles.

At the same time, Mironov does not give the impression of an oligarch. He worked as deputy director of the St. Petersburg company Expoforum-International, which manages the Lenexpo exhibition complex, known mainly for the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. When Vedomosti asked Mironov about his big business in 2014, he stated that he was “far from all this.”

Mironov’s acquaintance is Tatyana Svitova, the daughter of the senior vice president of Bank Russia Elena Svitova and the sister of Natalya Svitova, who also had shares in Gazprom contractors.

As Novaya Gazeta found out, recent partners of the Mironov and Svitov companies own shares in the gas distribution organizations of the Gazprom system - gorgaz and raygaz throughout Russia, which transport gas from the main gas pipeline to the end consumer, service in-house gas equipment and design regional gas supply networks ( for more details, see the diagram).

Through Firmon Overseas Holdings, Mironov controlled an offshore company - CIS Strategic Industries Investment Fund in the Cayman Islands, this was also mentioned in the report of Bank Russia. The Cayman offshore, in turn, owned the Cypriot Exlaribo. And she owns the chain of companies that leads to the Epos-Capital company. Natalya Svitova owns companies that also lead to this “Epos” and a couple of other companies - “Profkapinvest” and “Biznesprofinvest”. The latter had contracts with gas distribution enterprises of Gazprom for 47 million rubles and, until 2014, a share in another Gazprom contractor (VAG company), which over five years received contracts worth 4 billion rubles.

Not only Mironov and Svitova owned Epos Capital, Profkapinvest and Biznesprofinvest. The co-owners there were five interconnected companies - the Moscow Investment and Financial Group Management. Investments. Development (MIR Group), Financial Analytical Center, Interindustry Bill House of the Fuel and Energy Complex (VD TEK), Investment Partner and Citytrade, which received shares in more than 30 gas distribution organizations. The total revenue of the 28 organizations that they now own has exceeded 40 billion rubles over the last two years. The expert estimates the value of their shares in Gazprom Gas Distribution Nizhny Novgorod alone at 6 billion rubles (for more details, see the inset).

At Gazprom this is the area of ​​responsibility of Kirill Seleznev. He heads Gazprom Mezhregiongaz, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gazprom, which sells gas in Russia: provides supplies to all categories of consumers and participates in gasification of the regions. Gas distribution organizations are part of the structure of Gazprom Gas Distribution, a subsidiary and controlled organization of Gazprom Mezhregiongaz.

Seleznev is a long-time colleague and close acquaintance of the head of Gazprom, Alexei Miller, for more than 15 years (he confirmed this to Vedomosti), they worked together in the port of St. Petersburg and in the Baltic Pipeline System. Seleznev came to Gazprom at the age of 27 as Miller’s assistant, deputy chief of staff of the board.

In the late 1990s, Seleznev worked in the St. Petersburg MIR Group, which had the same general director as now the Moscow group of the same name.

The Moscow-based MIR Group has a long-standing relationship with Gazprom. According to the reports of the Gazprom Gazoraspredeleniye company for 2009-2010, this group, together with the Financial Analytical Center, provided it with loans of 850 million rubles. And later, in turn, MIR Group received a loan of 1.05 billion rubles from Gazprom Gas Distribution and another 253.3 million rubles from Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Nizhny Novgorod.

Gazprom has not yet explained the economic meaning of these transactions.

It was not possible to contact Mironov. Seleznev and MIR Group did not answer Novaya’s questions.

History with patriots

Five companies that hold shares in gas distribution organizations of Gazprom (Financial Analytical Center, Ustyuggaz, Citytrade, Investment Partner and VD TEK) are connected with each other and with the Moscow Investment and Financial Group Management . Investments. Development" (“MIR Group”), which appeared in 2007.

The office of this group is located in the center of Moscow in Arkhangelsky Lane, building 3, building 1. But the roots of the MIR Group go back to St. Petersburg. There has been a group of the same name there since 1994, now liquidated. She was connected with the Moscow one by the common general director and co-owner of the management company - Interindustry Bill House of the Fuel and Energy Complex (VD TEK), which is located in the same office on Arkhangelsky Lane.

The Moscow MIR Group is now owned by entrepreneurs with extensive connections in the church community. The lion's share belongs to Sergei Rudov's VD TEK. He is on the boards of trustees of large monasteries, as well as the Moscow Theological Academy, is a member of the Inter-Council Presence of the Russian Orthodox Church and chairman of the charitable foundation “Society of Friends of the Vatopedi Monastery on Mount Athos.”

Rudov was a co-organizer of the delivery to Russia of the Belt of the Virgin Mary in 2011 and the Gifts of the Magi in 2014, which were displayed in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. He is also co-chairman of the board of trustees of the Russian Federation of Practical Shooting.

The co-owners of Gazprom enterprises have other interesting intersections. The sole owner and general director of Citytrade, Alexey Puchkin, not only controls the Ust-Luga Multimodal Complex in the port, which was associated with partners and acquaintances of the former head of Russian Railways, Vladimir Yakunin. But he also heads companies (for example, Agrostyle) that deal with land plots. Half of Agrostyle is owned by the companies of the Rota group of former State Duma deputy Dmitry Sablin. Sablin is the first deputy chairman of the public organization “Combat Brotherhood” and co-chairman of the “Anti-Maidan” movement, created in 2015, as stated, with the aim of opposing the “fifth column” and “color revolutions” in Russia.

Rudov, VD TEK and Puchkin did not answer Novaya Gazeta’s questions.

Real estate history

Deputy Chairman of the Board of Gazprom Andrei Kruglov became the owner of companies that deal with Moscow real estate and are associated with the financial and industrial corporation Garant-Invest of Alexei Panfilov.

At the beginning of 2017, Kruglov received a share (20%) in Hey. Pi. Trust Co., and in the summer - half of the Proletarsky-B company. All of them are associated with Garant-invest, which has several shopping and business centers in Moscow - TDK Tulsky on Serpukhovskaya Zastava Square, the Airport shopping gallery near the metro station of the same name, the Kolomensky, Moskvorechye, and "Moskvorechye" shopping centers. Retail Park and Prague Castle. The group also includes Garant-invest Bank. Alexey Panfilov and his father Yuri are also co-owners of Hey. Pi. Trust Co.

Minority co-owners of the bank and Garant-invest are Irina Biryukova and Ekaterina Biryukova. The first is called the daughter of the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Communal Services, Pyotr Biryukov. Among the bank's minority shareholders is also former Moscow City Hall manager Viktor Korobchenko.

Before Kruglov received 20% in “Hey. Pi. Trust Co., this company had shares in companies that owned the Tulsky TDK, as well as the My Store retail chain and other assets of Garant-invest. Cypriot Vetturex, which together with Kruglov owns (25.9%) “Hey. Pi. Trust Co” also has a stake in the Garant-invest structure, which deals with commercial real estate. And in the Garant-Invest corporation itself, where the Biryukovs were minority owners.

The biography of Alexei Panfilov says that he was an adviser to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow Biryukov on a voluntary basis.

Biryukov’s relatives may be connected with contractors who are engaged in the reconstruction of Moscow, as RBC reported. Biryukov is responsible for the municipal services complex, which implements the plan for the improvement of Moscow streets. RBC found that Biryukov’s daughter, Irina and Ekaterina Biryukova, owners of 8.5% of the development company Garant-Invest, were also listed as co-owners of the Venta company, which leased trucks to city enterprises subordinate to Biryukov.

Novaya Gazeta found out that Irina and Ekaterina Biryukov owned (each 15%) the company Stroybusinessholding, which owned a Gazprom contractor, the Ugreshsky Pipeline Fittings Plant. Over three years, he received contracts worth 1.75 billion rubles from Gazprom structures.

The Ugreshsky plant also supplied its products to Mosgaz and Mosvodokanal, whose boards of directors included Biryukov. Since 2015, the plant has concluded contracts with them for 617.7 million rubles.

Kruglov, Garant-invest and the Moscow mayor’s office did not comment on the situation.

History of gas safety

Since April 2017, Gazprom Teplo-Energo has been headed by Artur Trinoga, the son of the head of the secretariat of the head of government, Mikhail Trinoga.

Arthur Trinoga, according to SPARK, is a co-owner (25%) of the Center for Modern Dentistry on Ostozhenka.

“We offer a wide range of services for treatment, restoration, dental prosthetics, bite correction, professional hygiene and aesthetic procedures,” the company’s website says.

Together with Trinoga, the center is owned by the head of Gazprom Energoholding Denis Fedorov (he also has 25%). And their partner is entrepreneur Andrei Yunakov. By 2010, it had 40% of the dental center, but then its share declined.

In 2010, Yunakov controlled five companies - PJSC Gazokhrana-M, OP Gazokhrana, OP Gazzashchita, PJSC Krasnodargazbezopasnost and PSC Regiongaz-bezopasnost, which subsequently began to provide services to gas distribution enterprises of Gazprom and interregiongases. Over five years, they received contracts worth 210 million rubles from Gazprom enterprises.

Arthur Trinoga did not answer Novaya’s questions.

“Well, we’ve already gone completely crazy. Sorry, there are simply no other words…” Vladimir Putin could not stand it at a meeting of the government commission for the development of the electric power industry in December 2011. Then, on his instructions, the affiliation of energy sector managers with commercial organizations that had signs of a conflict of interest was revealed. He noted that there was no violation of the law, but called for attention to the fact that some managers of the state-controlled energy complex and their relatives are associated with companies that do business in the same area and receive income from energy enterprises run by their relatives.

More than five years have passed since then, and there have been no further mentions of conflicts of interest at the highest level.

People close to Gazprom believe that there is no question of a conflict of interest in these cases. And they assure that Gazprom enterprises that transport gas from the main gas pipeline to the end consumer are, in most cases, far from the most profitable business. They also pay attention to the fact that private investors are not rushing into it. And some Gazprom enterprises, co-owned by companies associated, for example, with the MIR Group, have ceased to be unprofitable.

“Such justifications are good at a conceptual level, but not at a legal level. There may be signs of a conflict of interest here,” Ilya Shumanov, deputy general director of Transparency International Russia, shares his opinion. — Gas distribution is a separate business that can be unprofitable and profitable. Gazprom executives already have large compensation and rewards for being present on the boards of directors of numerous Gazprom subsidiaries. If their relatives also intersect with the same area, they should pay attention to this and study whether there is a personal interest of top managers there.”

Minority shareholders of Gazprom enterprises are right to be concerned about this, the expert believes, since the natural question is: does all this affect the financial performance of the gas concern?

Present past

Old Gazprom workers. Heritage

The former Gazprom leadership from the time of Rem Vyakhirev, together with relatives, directly owned shares in companies associated with Gazprom.

“There was no violation here, since the law did not restrict this at all,” says a person close to the gas concern.

Some of the connections of former top managers and their family members with Gazprom enterprises lasted for quite a long time. Thus, the former general director of the gas sales company Mezhregiongaz (currently Gazprom Mezhregiongaz) Valentin Nikishin and members of his family owned the company Quorum-N. She owned half of the Central Investment Heat and Power Company (CITEK), which had shares (from 25% to 35%) in at least 16 Mezhregiongaz companies in different Russian cities. And shares in Management Company Regiongazfinance, which had shares in seven gas distribution organizations of Gazprom, according to SPARK. Nikishin died in a car accident in 2005. TsITEK came under the control of his former deputy at Mezhregiongaz, Marina Bezrukova, and ceased to operate only in March 2017.

TsITEK also owned a share in Gazenergoprombank, which was first transferred to Gazprom structures, and in 2010 merged with Bank Russia owned by Yuri Kovalchuk.

The daughter of the former head of Gazprom, Rem Vyakhirev, Tatyana Dedikova, and the son of former Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin, Vitaly, were co-owners of the Promek-MG company, which until 2003 owned 24% of the Resurs-MRG company, registered at the Moscow office of Gazprom. on Nametkina Street, 16. Resurs-MRG owned shares (from 10% to 80%) in at least 37 Mezhregiongaz throughout Russia, according to SPARK. The company Agrokhimtex also had its own share in Resurs-MRG, where Nikolai Isakov, deputy general director for government relations at Gazprom Mezhregiongaz, owned a small share. And also from the company Verta-Techinvest, which was owned by members of the family of the former deputy general director of Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Alexey Veremenko.

The decision to exclude the inactive “IWG Resource” from the register was made in July 2017.

Help "Novaya"

Courts with shareholders

In 2013, Gazprom, by decision of the government, bought out shares of gas distribution enterprises from the state-owned Rosneftegaz.

Minority shareholders of some of Gazprom's gas distribution enterprises hoped that they would be sent an offer and would be required to buy their shares, as happens in such transactions. But that did not happen.

“In 2013, we turned to the Bank of Russia, and it issued binding orders to Gazprom,” said Alexander Klimenko, head of the legal service of Myriad Rus, which represented the interests of minority shareholders of Gazprom Gas Distribution Nizhny Novgorod. — At the same time, we appealed to the Federal Property Management Agency, the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Energy and the government with a demand to develop and approve a directive obliging Gazprom to fulfill the requirement of the law. But our requests only resulted in unsubscribes.”

And in the fall of 2015, the board of directors and the main shareholder of Nizhegorodoblgaz, the Gazprom group, approved an additional issue in the form of a closed subscription in favor of three companies, at that time affiliated with the MIR Group. The issue price is 51 rubles per share, three times lower than the market price, which is confirmed by an independent assessment, Klimenko believes.

“The Gazprom enterprise received, in our opinion, three times less money than it could have received. The share of minority shareholders was diluted by more than two times,” Klimenko assures. In his opinion, there were no economic grounds for the issue: Nizhegorodoblgaz is a profitable organization with free cash on deposit in the bank (2.7 billion rubles at the end of 2015-2016).

“How could it happen that thanks to such an issue, Gazprom lost control in Nizhegorodoblgaz (the share decreased from 75% to 32%) and did not receive money for it?” — Klimenko is surprised. In his opinion, this led to losses not only for Gazprom, but also for its shareholders. The result was also the cancellation of regulations obliging Gazprom to send proposals to minority shareholders to buy out their shares, since the Gazprom group’s share in the enterprise became less than 50%. “How else can this be explained if not by an administrative resource?” - asks the lawyer.

“We have not assessed the value of all the assets related to the listed companies, but the value of the shares in Nizhegorodoblgaz alone, which they received into ownership, could be about 6 billion rubles,” the expert believes.

People close to Gazprom explained the situation by saying that the gas concern did not have enough funds to pay both Rosneftegaz and minority shareholders, so a legal way was found to resolve this problem.

Subtext

Estonian wings

Estonian FortAero - operator of the Beechjet 400A (Nextant 400XTI) aircraft with registration number ES-NXT, owned by Ivan Mironov's company, has a very interesting history. In 2013, the now abolished national airline of Estonia, Estonian Air, sold its subsidiary, Estonian Air Regional, to the little-known FortAero, registered at the end of 2012. The deal surprised the Estonian market because no one understood who was behind it.

The Estonian Delovye Vedomosti then published the headline “Nominee Holders”, revealing that three people were listed as the owners of FortAero - Aaron Reichstein, Vadim Opryshko and Lyalya Mikhailova. Reichstein previously worked in Moscow, at the Kommersant publishing house, in 2003 he was the director of the Gazeta newspaper in St. Petersburg, headed the Trekhgornaya Manufactory, and in 2006 - the Kommersant Ukraine publishing house. In Estonia, his name was associated with two dozen companies; the local press reported that, according to him, he came to Tallinn by chance, having come to visit a friend.

The Estonian company responded that they had no relation to the half-brother of Gazprom board member Ivan Mironov and Gazprom board member Seleznev.

There is another interesting intersection. The Terramart Development company, which, according to the Bank of Russia report, was controlled by Mironov, had an Estonian branch (now in liquidation). The manager of this branch was Natalia Astashova, who, according to the Estonian registry, manages only two companies, including business aircraft operator Aviasole Business Aviation. This Aviasole offers customers the Falcon 900LX aircraft. Having contacted the manager of Aviasole, Novaya Gazeta found out that they knew about the Beechjet 400A aircraft with registration number ES-NXT and were redirecting it to FortAero about it.

Aviasole and Astashova did not answer questions from Novaya Gazeta.

Seleznev did not comment on the situation.

Childhood, youth and family of Alexey Miller

Now a successful top manager, chairman of the board of the largest Russian energy company, he was born in Leningrad into a family of employees of a closed military enterprise. Miller studied at gymnasium No. 330, demonstrating excellent academic success from an early age. After school, he easily entered the Leningrad Financial and Economic Institute. N.A. Voznesensky, who successfully graduated in 1984 with a degree in economics and engineering.

For several years after receiving his diploma, Miller worked in his specialty at LenNIIproekt, however, being a capable student, in 1986 the future Gazprom employee decided to continue his studies in graduate school. In 1989 Miller became a candidate of economic sciences.

In 1990, he continued his work at LenNIIproekt, where he now holds the position of junior researcher. Part of 1990 and early 1991 - Miller works on the Economic Reform Committee of the Lensovet Executive Committee.

Alexey Miller’s career rise: from St. Petersburg mayor’s office to Gazprom

In 1991, a fateful acquaintance took place for Alexei Borisovich. This year he began his work in the Committee for External Relations of the St. Petersburg City Hall, where the current President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin held the position of his head. Miller worked on the Committee for five years. During this time, the organization managed to establish contacts with the largest Western banks.

Alexey Miller (OJSC Gazprom) in the oncoming lane. A593MR 97

The change of power forced Alexei Miller to leave his home. Having risen high through the ranks of the Committee on External Relations, Miller became a desirable candidate for senior positions in the largest Russian companies. His new place of work was the company OJSC Sea Port of St. Petersburg, where Alexey Miller worked for three years.

Since 1999, the successful top manager took the place of general director at OJSC Baltic Pipeline System.

According to the results of the Russian elections in 2000, Vladimir Putin occupied the presidency. Following his former boss, his former subordinate Alexey Miller also moved to the capital. He was appointed to the post of Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation, but remained in office for only a year.

In 2001, Miller became chairman of the board of Gazprom. The dismissal of Rem Vyakhirev, who served as chairman for almost ten years, promises the largest energy organization rapid reforms, which were not long in coming. From this moment, Gazprom becomes completely controlled by the state, and work begins to return assets lost during Vyakhirev’s rule.

Alexey Miller: crests are messing with Russian gas

In 2002, Alexey Miller became Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of OJSC Gazprom. By this time, the organization had undergone major personnel changes. Being far from the energy sector, Miller needed people for whom this field was not alien. A number of leadership positions went to people with whom the new chairman of the board had already worked; other appointments came from the Kremlin; some members of Vyakhirev’s team managed to retain their posts.

However, despite the reforms being carried out, evil tongues foreshadowed Miller's imminent resignation. The beginning of his work was not active enough, and, according to some experts, the personnel changes that began should have ended with the resignation of the new leader. No matter what rumors circulate, and no matter what is whispered about on the sidelines, Alexey Miller has firmly strengthened his position. By 2004, the formation of a renewed management apparatus came to an end. In 2006, Miller's work contract was extended for another five years.

No matter how controversial and dubious the start may seem, Alexey Miller achieved good results as chairman of the board. In 2010, the American magazine Harvard Business Review ranked Miller third in the ranking of the world's most effective top managers. In 2013, the chairman of the board of OJSC Gazprom took third place in the Forbes list, and was named one of the most expensive Russian managers.

Personal life of Alexey Miller

Alexey Miller is a busy man, which is why he doesn’t have time to communicate with journalists, so the few interviews with the head of Gazprom are devoted mainly to the work of the company, its prospects and development. Miller prefers not to talk about his personal life, but it is known that he has been married for many years.

He and his wife Irina are raising a son. The top manager prefers to spend his free time with his family. He is no stranger to sports hobbies, such as cycling and skiing. Miller is also passionate about equestrian sports.

He owns several thoroughbred stallions. However, like any business person, Miller’s hobby resulted in active work. In 2012, he assumed the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of OJSC Russian Hippodromes. According to the presidential decree, Alexey Miller faces the responsible and difficult task of breathing life into domestic equestrian sport and contributing to the revival of the industry.

In 2016, the entrepreneur admitted that as a child he passionately wanted to go to the concert of his beloved Deep Purple. It was impossible then, so now he attends every performance of his youth idols whenever possible.

Alexey Miller today

In 2016, Alexey Miller for the first time topped the ranking of the highest paid top managers, presented by Forbes. His annual remuneration was estimated at $17.7 million.

Alexey Miller is one of the highest paid Russian managers, chairman of the board of OJSC Gazprom, head of the board of directors of NPF Gazfond, as well as Gazprombank and the insurance company SOGAZ.

In addition to his activities at Gazprom, he is a member of the board of trustees of the International Global Energy Prize and the government commission on the production of the mineral resource base of the Russian Federation and fuel and energy complex issues.

Childhood and youth

Alexey Borisovich Miller was born on January 31, 1962 on the outskirts of Leningrad in a family of employees of the closed military enterprise NPO Leninets. Miller’s parents were so-called “Russian Germans” living in Russia, so the media often publish information about the origin and nationality of the top manager.

Father Boris Vasilyevich worked as a fitter, and mother Lyudmila Aleksandrovna worked as an engineer. Alexey was the only child in the family, so he was not deprived of parental attention, care and love.

The future head of Gazprom studied at a specialized gymnasium with a mathematical bias No. 330 in Leningrad. During his school years, he did not cause trouble to either teachers or parents, and did not enter into conflicts with other children. Miller was a diligent and capable student, a shy boy. Alexey's teachers and classmates speak of him as an inconspicuous person, but with a specific desire to achieve a goal through his own efforts.

After graduating from school with excellent grades, Alexey Miller managed to enter the local financial and economic institute the first time. In 1984, he graduated from high school and received a diploma in economic engineering. During his student years, Alexey was the favorite student of the head of the department, Professor Igor Blekhtsin, a famous St. Petersburg economist and international master of sports in chess. FINEK teachers remember the student as a neat student with calligraphic handwriting.

For his successful work in his position, experts and politicians predicted the post of Minister of Energy of Russia for the economist, but their assumptions did not come true. In 2001, Miller took an equally prestigious position, becoming the head of the board of OJSC Gazprom.

Gazprom

The news of the appointment of Alexey Miller to the position of Chairman of the Board of Gazprom was a shocking surprise for the entire management of the company. From that moment on, a new era of returning the company under state control began at OAO Gazprom.

Gazprom's profitability fell slightly. The company is going through hard times due to the loss of traditional markets and the activity of foreign competitors. Thus, the statement by the President of Ukraine about his refusal to buy Russian gas is one of the main reasons for the decrease in the sale of resources in the long-familiar direction. In addition, European countries are introducing new technologies regarding alternative energy sources.

In connection with these difficulties, Gazprom management decided to begin construction of bypass routes for delivering gas to Europe. They were called “Nord Stream 2” and “Turkish Stream”.
