Price: 575 euro
Format: PDF
Published: October 2005, May 2006
Executive Summary
Decision making in Gazprom corporate affairs is utterly non-transparent. Russian President
Vladimir Putin and his closest aides evidently play an important role in it. It is also evident
that the management of Gazprom coordinates its actions with the Kremlin. Still, the hierarchy and
distribution of authority in this process, the exact responsibilities of people, and the
background for decision making remains closed from public eyes.
This report is an attempt at clarifying these issues on the basis of both public information
and comments from industry observers that deal with Kremlin officials and Gazprom executives
routinely. An emphasis has been made on motivation of the principal decision makers and on the
role of Gazprom in forming Russia's foreign and domestic policies.
The report is of particular interest to managers of oil and gas companies that maintain, or
are going to establish, business relations with Gazprom. It answers such questions as:
- What are the chances for Vladimir Putting becoming the head of Gazprom after 2008?
- What are the interests of the incumbent Russian president on the gas monopoly?
- Which tasks does Putin delegates to Gazprom in the national economy and in foreign and
domestic policies?
- Who belongs to the team of the principal decision makers on Gazprom and how are duties
distributed among them?
- What is the tactics of international companies that negotiate partnership issued with Gazprom
and the Kremlin?
- Which are the most efficient methods of lobbying corporate interests during the establishment
of business connections with Russia's Number One Company?
The report contains information about top managers of Gazprom and Kremlin officials that
control the gas monopoly and are in charge of dealings with foreign partners.
Attached charts demonstrate the process of information flows from foreign companies via
various Gazprom managers to the Kremlin and, personally, President Vladimir Putin.
