Some of the first natural gas fields were discovered in the Soviet Union back in 1942. At the same time, the first gas pipeline “Buguruslan - Kuibyshev” was built. Exploration and development of gas sources continued continuously, and new highways and pipelines were built. However, this was not always enough to sufficiently satisfy the needs of the entire Soviet population. The period from 1970 to 1980 changed everything. For the USSR it was marked by the discovery of new gas fields in the Volga region, Siberia and the Urals. Gas production in the Soviet Union increased almost fivefold and already in 1984 it took a leading position in the world gas raw materials market. Production of this resource per year amounted to 587 billion cubic meters. m.
Until this time, since 1948, the Main Directorate for Natural Gas Production operated in the USSR. In 1956, it underwent a series of transformations, as a result of which it became Glavgaz (Main Directorate gas industry at the Council of Ministers of the USSR). In 1963, the State Production Committee for the Gas Industry of the USSR was created, which took over the functions of its predecessor. 1965 - The Ministry of Gas Industry is formed. From it, organizations of two directions are subsequently distinguished: gas and oil. It was this Ministry that became the platform for the future of the company. In 1989, the State Gas Concern was created Gazprom“, which, in turn, becomes a platform for RAO Gazprom (Russian Joint Stock Company). It was founded in 1993, and in 1998 it was renamed into the current Gazprom OJSC (Open Joint Stock Company).
Viktor Stepanovich Chernomyrdin
From 1989 to 1992 headed by V.S. Chernomyrdin, who was appointed to this post by Boris Yeltsin. At that time, the concern completely controlled the search for gas fields throughout the USSR, carried out its distribution and sale. In 1991, the collapse of the Soviet Union occurred, which did not have the best effect. Countries that were previously part of the USSR gain independence, and with it the rights to all gas sources located on their territory, as well as ownership rights to the corresponding pipelines. Losses at that time amounted to 25% of total number compressor stations, as well as over 30% of pipelines. Control over all transit gas pipelines that passed from Russia to Europe was completely transferred to the CIS and Baltic countries. At the same time Russian government came to the conclusion that in order to improve the functioning of the concern, independent companies should be created that could also extract this resource. The initiator of this project was the Minister of Fuel and Energy V. Lopukhin. On this same basis, he had a conflict with the owner of Gazprom, V. Chernomyrdin, who had the opposite opinion and was not going to share the concern with anyone.
The next year became more successful. The intensity of its economic influence is increasing sharply. This happens due to the fact that in 1992 Viktor Stepanovich was appointed to the post of Prime Minister and, naturally, his “brainchild” received a number of tax benefits. In the same year, Chernomyrdin transfers his leadership powers to his first deputy, Rem Vyakhirev, and the president signs several Decrees, from which it follows that the gas resources of the entire country are transferred to the management of the concern.
Privatization of the company. Attempts at reform.
In 1993, the Ministry of Finance approved the project for Gazprom. If at the beginning of 1992 it was completely owned by the state, then in 1993 the distribution of Gazprom shares began. According to the distribution scheme, 40% remained the property of the state, 28.7% was sold for vouchers, 15% belonged to the management of the concern, 10% was intended for sale to foreign companies, 5.2% was owned by the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug), 1 .1% was transferred to the use of the Rosgazification organization.
The market position of the shares was very contradictory and scared off foreign buyers due to its illiquidity. The reason for this was the exclusive rules of the concern, in accordance with which the company exercised control over the secondary market for its shares. The sale could only take place with his permission. It was necessary to inform its management and offer the purchase first, directly to the concern. Only if he refused could they be sold to other organizations.
A complex of buildings that belong to the concern.
Since the privatization process took place under the strict control of Viktor Stepanovich, the interests of the holding were not harmed in any way. In 1994, a trust agreement was signed between R. Vyakhirev and the government, according to which 35% of state shares became the responsibility of the monopolist. In the same year, the investment bank Kleinwort Benson became the agent for the placement of shares abroad. But since they were not popular at that time, there was no demand for the sale offer.
In 1995, Price Waterhouse became the concern's auditor, but in 1997 it passed the baton to De Golyer & McNaughton. Here the need arises for promotion on world capital markets and in 1996 he placed 1% of his shares on the London Stock Exchange. A year later, a major scandal occurs. It featured Regent GAZ Investment, which, through its subsidiary, tried to purchase Gazprom shares on the Russian stock exchange for the purpose of their further resale abroad. After this incident, B. Yeltsin issued a Decree “On the procedure for circulating shares of RAO Gazprom,” according to which the rights of foreign and domestic investors were significantly infringed.
1990s.
The 1990s were marked by very unstable relations with the government. For young reformers, he personified the unshakable bulwark of the command-administrative economy of Russia and, naturally, they tried in every possible way to limit his power. During Boris Yeltsin's presidency, the concern came to his rescue more than once. So, for example, in 1996, the gas monopolist took out a loan in the amount of 40 trillion on foreign markets, which in turn was spent on paying debts to pensioners. After this, B. Yeltsin again managed to win the elections.
With the arrival of S. Kiriyenko, smooth relations with the government were disrupted.
The new chairman demanded to break the trust agreement concluded with the concern in 1994 and accused him of malicious non-payment of taxes. At the same time, Rem Vyakhirev’s deputy, Vyacheslav Sheremet, stood out in the leadership of the monopolist. During Vyakhirev’s absence, he staunchly defends his interests. In the future, Vyakhirev will say that he wants to see him as his successor Sheremet.
In 1998, Yeltsin removes Chernomyrdin from the post of prime minister. The same time coincides with the beginning. The government makes claims for non-payment of taxes and exerts strong pressure on it, as a result of which the concern still has to pay them. Chernomyrdin remains the chairman of the board.
After Viktor Stepanovich, Evgeny Primakov took his place. His policy towards the company was more loyal. However, in 1999, a fierce struggle broke out between the largest Russian gas monopolist and the government. By that time, the concern had quite a strong influence on the NTV channel, which heavily criticized the Kremlin’s policy towards the company. Gazprom stated that its losses in 1998 amounted to about 2 billion, and, therefore, it is not going to pay any dividends to shareholders. Naturally, the shareholders, in turn, demanded that the concern be held accountable. At the end of the year, V. Putin was appointed to the post of Prime Minister, after which V. Chernomyrdin was presented with a whole list of charges against the leadership, and in particular Vyakhirev.
Summing up the results of the 1990s, we can say that despite the actual violations on the part of the concern, nevertheless, it continued to remain a “safe haven”. During the unstable political situation in the country, it was supported by the state budget, pursued a fairly loyal pricing policy regarding gas supplies, and at the same time carried out a number of political and social functions.
From the year 2000.
In 2000 post of chairman of the board of directors took Dmitry Medvedev. And in 2001, Rem Vyakhirev’s place was given to A. Miller. After this, a massive redistribution of seats began. Most of the people who worked under Vyakhirev's leadership were removed from their posts or left on their own initiative. The time of disagreement with the Kremlin has become history. Despite Miller's relative obscurity, the group's share prices on the London Stock Exchange jumped almost 7%. Although many argued that he would not be able to control the activities of the gas giant, practice has shown that Miller not only copes with his duties very well, but also makes significant changes to improve the company’s work and fights corruption, the cases of which became more frequent in the late 90s . Moreover, for the first time in recent years, the concern’s policy began to completely coincide with the interests of the state.
The company has experienced rapid growth over the past decade. « Gazprom» concludes all new contracts for gas supplies to European countries, is establishing relations with Asian countries. As a result of intensive development, the concern's turnover in 2009 alone amounted to about 150 billion. One of the main directions of Miller's policy was the return of assets that were not properly controlled under Vyakhirev. So, in 2002, previously lost control over Zapsibgazprom, Purgaz, Vostokgazprom. In addition, Severneftegazprom became the property of the concern (the concern bought it). It is impossible not to mention the Itera company, which was considered the second gas giant. Gradually, she had to return to the concern the gas producing assets that had been acquired under Vyakhirev, after which she had no choice but to agree with the leader and become his de facto subordinate. A similar fate befell Northgas, which was developing the North Urengoy field. As soon as production began to gain decent volumes, the monopolist paid attention to it and declared its rights. After a short resistance, Northgas gave in and entered into an agreement with the company. Currently, the concern is rightfully considered the only gas monopoly in Russia.
In addition to its direct activities gas giant engages in research and development and takes an active part in the social life of the country. For a long time he has been a philanthropist of all kinds sporting events, patronizes several domestic football clubs, and is also involved in charitable activities. In 2010 alone, the concern spent over 12 billion rubles on charity. Even despite 2008-2009, the Concern remained a stronghold of stability for the country. Most likely, this will continue to be the case, since it is difficult to imagine that a monopolist of such a scale could have any serious competitors whose resistance it would not be able to break.

Brief description of the company
"Gazprom"- the largest gas company in the world. Gazprom owns 60% of Russian and 17% of world gas reserves. In gas production, Gazprom's share is even higher - 85% of Russian gas production, 20% of world production.
In Russia, Gazprom holds a monopoly position in the transportation of natural gas in the gaseous state. The company owns the Unified Gas Supply System (UGSS), which includes all main gas pipelines in the country. Access of independent gas producers to Gazprom's gas transportation system is regulated by government agencies.
The Law “On Gas Export” gives Gazprom the exclusive right to export natural gas from Russia. Other Russian gas producers do not have the opportunity to supply their products outside the country.
The Russian Federation owns 50% plus one share of OAO Gazprom. According to the law “On Gas Supply in the Russian Federation,” the state’s share in Gazprom’s capital cannot be lower than this level. During the years of active privatization, the state lost shareholder control over Gazprom. In 2004, control was restored by purchasing a stake.
Gazprom's development strategy provides for the expansion of activities in related areas, in particular oil production and generation electrical energy. Gazprom acquired a controlling stake in the Sibneft company, which was later renamed Gazprom Neft, as well as shares in a number of electric power companies.

Company history and projects
Company creation
In 1989, the State Gas Concern Gazprom was formed on the basis of the Ministry of Gas Industry. In 1993, the Russian Joint Stock Company Gazprom (RAO Gazprom) was created on its basis. In 1998, RAO Gazprom was renamed OAO Gazprom.
Entering the stock market
Since 1996, trading in Gazprom shares began to be held on a specialized platform of the Federal Stock Corporation. In October 1996, Gazprom placed 1.15% of its shares in the form of American Depository Receipts (ADR) on the stock markets of the United States and Europe.
Mezhregiongaz
In December 1996, Mezhregiongaz LLC was established, a specialized trading enterprise with 100% of the authorized capital of OJSC Gazprom. Since April 1997, Mezhregiongaz began supplying gas to Russian consumers.
On initial stage a central office and 62 regional branches were formed, sales technology, interaction with gas consumers, document flow, and accounting were automated; a complete register of gas consumers, including budgetary organizations, has been formed, and a unified information space has been created.
Since 1999, Gazprom's branches have been gradually transformed into independent legal entities- regional gas companies (RGK), which are its subsidiaries. They buy gas from Mezhregiongaz LLC, sell it to consumers in their region, and pay the necessary taxes to regional and local budgets. With the creation of Mezhregiongaz, the number of intermediaries in the gas supply scheme was significantly reduced.
Since the separation of gas sales on the domestic market into a separate area of activity, the state has established tariffs for payment for supply and sales services. The sale of gas was separated from services for its transportation through gas distribution networks. The introduction of fees for supply and sales services allowed RGCs to switch to self-financing of their own costs.
South Pars
In September 1997, Gazprom, together with Total and Petronas, signed a contract for the development of phases 2 and 3 of the South Pars field in Iran. Gazprom's share in the international consortium was 30%, Total - 40%, Petronas - 30%.
In 2002, an international consortium began gas production.
Yamal-Europe
The Yamal-Europe gas trunkline connects gas fields in Siberia with consumers in Western Europe. Initially, the project envisaged the construction of two lines with a diameter of 1420 mm and a length of 4100 km from the Yamal fields through Ukhta and Torzhok, through the territory of Belarus and Poland to Germany.
Construction of the gas pipeline began in 1994 in the border areas of Germany and Poland.
In November 1996, priority sections of the gas pipeline were put into operation in the territories of Poland and Germany with a total length of 117.2 km, including the crossing of the river. Oder. This made it possible to supply Russian natural gas in the amount of 600 million cubic meters. m per year in Germany.
In subsequent years, new pipeline sections and compressor stations were built as part of the project. With the introduction of new sections, gas exports in the new direction reached 14 billion cubic meters by 2000. m. By this time, the concept of the project had changed dramatically, since due to a shortage of capital investments, Gazprom postponed the development of the Yamal fields. The final destination of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline was Torzhok, where it was connected to the new SRTO-Torzhok gas pipeline. The Yamal-Europe gas pipeline has diverted part of the gas export flow from the Nadym-Pur-Taz region, which previously went to Germany through Ukraine.
In 2007, the first stage of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline reached its design capacity of 33 billion cubic meters. m. of gas per year.
The construction of the second line of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline is in doubt. The main problem is Poland's position of opposing the expansion of the gas pipeline for political reasons. The additional capacity of the gas pipeline will reduce Gazprom's dependence on transit through Ukraine, which is negatively assessed in Europe.
Blue Stream
On December 15, 1997, Russia and Turkey signed an intergovernmental agreement, under which Gazprom entered into a commercial contract with Botas to supply 365 billion cubic meters to Turkey over 25 years. m of gas. It was decided to supply gas via a new gas pipeline laid along the bottom of the Black Sea.
In 1999, ENI became Gazprom's partner in implementing the Blue Stream project.
On November 16, 1999, OJSC Gazprom and Eni registered a Russian-Italian company in the Netherlands on a parity basis special purpose Blue Stream Pipeline Company B.V. Now this company is the owner of the offshore section of the gas pipeline, including the Beregovaya compressor station. The owner and operator of the onshore section of the gas pipeline is OJSC Gazprom. On December 30, 2002, the launch complex in Russia was put into operation and a control supply of gas was carried out to the Durusun terminal in Turkey.
The design capacity of the gas pipeline is 16 billion cubic meters. m of gas per year.
The possibility of constructing the second stage of the gas pipeline is being considered. Blue Stream 2 is focused on supplying gas to the southern and central regions of Europe.
North European Gas Pipeline
The North European Gas Pipeline is designed to supply Russian gas to Europe without passing through the territory of transit countries. The gas pipeline route passes through the Baltic Sea from Vyborg to the German coast (Greifswald area). The project provides for the construction of offshore gas pipelines to supply gas to consumers in Finland, Sweden, Great Britain and other countries.
The length of the offshore section of the gas pipeline from Vyborg to Greifswald will be 1189 km, diameter - 1067 mm, operating pressure - 200 atmospheres. The pipeline will consist of two lines with a total design capacity of 55 billion cubic meters. m of gas per year.
To connect NEGP with the Unified Gas Supply System of Russia, it is planned to build a new gas pipeline Gryazovets-Vyborg, which will pass through the territory of the Vologda and Leningrad regions.
In 1997, OAO Gazprom began developing the North European Gas Pipeline project. Gazprom and Neste (currently Fortum) created joint venture North Transgas with equal shares. Initially resource base The gas pipeline was supposed to be gas from the Shtokman field, which was planned to be put into operation by 2006.
During 1997-1999, with the involvement of the world's leading engineering firms and Russian institutes, the full complex marine surveys in the Baltic Sea. A feasibility study for the construction of the offshore section confirmed the technical feasibility and economic efficiency of the NEGP construction.
In December 2000, the European Commission assigned the NEH project the status of TEN (Trans-European Networks), which facilitated the resolution of issues related to the implementation of the project in the territories of EU countries and the attraction of EU funds.
On November 18, 2002, the Gazprom board decided to begin the practical implementation of the NEGP project. An action plan and an enlarged schedule for the implementation of the NEGP project were approved.
On March 17, 2004, Gazprom identified the Yuzhno-Russkoye field as the main raw material base for gas supplies across the NEGP. In this regard, Gazprom decided to synchronize the preparation of business plans and feasibility studies for the construction of the NEGP and the development of the Yuzhno-Russkoye field.
At the beginning of 2005, Gazprom bought a 50% stake in North Transgas from the Finnish concern Fortum.
On September 8, 2005, in Berlin, Gazprom, BASF AG and E.ON AG signed an agreement in principle on the construction of the Nord Stream gas pipeline. In accordance with the document, the partners created a joint venture Nord Stream AG, in the capital of which Gazprom received 51%, and Wintershall Holding (a subsidiary of BASF AG) and E.ON Ruhrgas (part of the E.ON concern) - 24.5% each. .
On June 10, 2008, N.V. joined the project. Nederlandse Gasunie. In accordance with a comprehensive agreement concluded between OJSC Gazprom and Gasunie, the Dutch company received a 9% stake in the capital of Nord Stream AG by reducing the shares of E.ON Ruhrgas and Wintershall Holding by 4.5%. As a result, the shares in Nord Stream AG were distributed as follows: OJSC Gazprom - 51%, Wintershall Holding and E.ON Ruhrgas - 20% each, N.V. Nederlandse Gasunie - 9%.
On December 9, 2005, the first joint of the Gryazovets-Vyborg gas pipeline was welded.
Purgaz
In 1998, Itera-Rus (49%) and Noyabrskgazdobycha LLC (51%) established Purgaz CJSC. The enterprise was created to implement a project for the industrial development of the Cenomanian deposits of the Gubkinskoye field. The Gubkinsky gas field was put into development on June 27, 1999.
In 1999, Noyabrskgazdobycha sold 32% of Purgaz shares to Itera at par value (32 thousand rubles). The purchase and sale agreement provided that Gazprom could return 32% of Purgaz shares at par value before January 1, 2002.
On April 1, 2002, OAO Gazprom completed the buyback of 32% of Purgaz shares from Itera. Itera was returned the nominal value of the shares, as well as about 5.8 billion rubles that were invested in the development of the Gubkinskoye gas field.
Cooperation with Rosneft in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and on the Barents Sea shelf
On October 4, 2001, OJSC Gazprom and NK Rosneft signed an agreement to join forces in the development of five large fields located in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and on the Barents Sea shelf: Kharampurskoye, Vyngayakhinskoye, Etypurovskoye, Prirazlomnoye and Shtokman gas condensate fields.
Zapolyarnoye field
On October 31, 2001, the ceremonial launch of the Zapolyarnoe gas, oil and condensate field took place in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
The Zapolyarnoye field is located in the Tazovsky district of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, 80 km east of the Urengoy field, 85 km south of the village of Tazovsky. General reserves gas amount to more than 3.3 trillion cubic meters. m. Upper Cenomanian deposit - approximately 2.6 trillion cubic meters. m of gas, Valanginian horizons - about 735 billion cubic meters. m of gas. In terms of gas reserves, Zapolyarnoye ranks fifth in the international ranking of gas fields. The design capacity of the field is 100 billion cubic meters. m. of gas per year. The license to develop the field belongs to Yamburggazdobycha LLC.
The launch of Zapolyarny allowed Gazprom to support gas production, which was declining due to a gradual decrease in the productivity of the main fields - Urengoyskoye, Yamburgskoye, Medvezhye.
At the end of 2004, gas production at the Zapolyarnoye field reached its design target of 100 billion cubic meters. m per year.
Purchase 49% Slovensky Plynarensky Priemysel
On March 14, 2002, the Slovak government decided to sell a 49% stake in the Slovak gas transportation company SSP to an international consortium, which included Gazprom, Ruhrgas and Gaz de France.
Return of shares of OJSC Severneftegazprom
On June 27, 2002, the head of Gazprom, Alexey Miller, and the director of MGK Itera, Igor Makarov, signed a memorandum of cooperation. According to the document, the parties agreed that Gazprom would acquire from Itera a 51% stake in OAO Severneftegazprom, which holds licenses for the right to use the subsoil of the Yuzhno-Russkoye field.
In turn, Surgutgazprom and Noyabrskgazdobycha will transfer to Itera 7.78% of the shares of Tarkosaleneftegaz and 10% of the shares of Sibneftegaz OJSC.
OJSC Severneftegazprom was created as a 100% subsidiary of Zapsibgazprom, but subsequently a controlling stake in Severneftegazprom was sold to Itera.
International consortium for the management and development of the gas transportation system of Ukraine
On October 30, 2002, Gazprom and Naftogaz of Ukraine signed constituent documents"International Consortium for the Management and Development of the Gas Transport System of Ukraine." It was assumed that the consortium would manage the Ukrainian gas transportation system. In addition to Ukraine and Russia, the consortium will include Germany, representing the interests of European gas consumers. The project failed to be implemented. Ukraine began to delay the implementation of its plans. Instead of transferring the existing gas transportation system, Ukraine proposed to the consortium to build a new gas pipeline Novopskov-Uzhgorod. Since the consortium did not gain access to manage Ukraine's existing gas transportation system, Russia and Germany lost interest in participating in the project.
Exchange of assets with NK "YUKOS"
In 2003, Gazprom and Yukos agreed to exchange production assets. Gazprom transferred 12% of the shares of Arctic Gas to YUKOS, and YUKOS gave Gazprom 25.58% of the shares of Zapsibgazprom OJSC and paid $3 million in cash.
Sibneftegaz
On May 24, 1994, OJSC Siberian Oil and Gas Company (Sibneftegaz) was created. In 1998, Sibneftegaz acquired licenses for the right to use the subsoil of the Beregovoye, Pyreynoye and Zapadno-Zapolyarnye areas. In 2006, Sibneftegaz acquired a license for the right to use the subsoil of the Khadyryakhinsky site.
In May 2003, Itera prepared the Beregovoye field for commercial production, but production did not begin because Gazprom refused to accept gas into the transport system.
21% of the shares of Sibneftegaz OJSC were purchased by Acron OJSC.
In 2006, Gazprom acquired 51% of Sibneftegaz from Itera for $131.5 million.
In April 2007, the Beregovoe field was put into commercial production.
Achimgaz
On July 17, 2003, OAO Gazprom and Wintershall signed a framework agreement and constituent documents on the creation of the joint venture Achimgaz. The new enterprise will develop a pilot section of the Achimov deposits of the Urengoyskoye field. Over the entire period of development of this site (43 years), it is planned to produce about 200 billion cubic meters. m of gas and 40 million tons of condensate.
The joint venture will sell all produced gas to Gazprom. The purchase price will be determined by a formula that takes into account the cost of gas in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and on the border with Germany.

The unfolding battles around gas prices for the junta gave me the idea to once again remind everyone of the long-known truth - who and how much owns the giant of our energy industry, GAZPROM, which is considered Russian.
According to completely open data, the “state” owns only 50% of the shares (+1 vote). I put the word “state” in quotation marks because this is a small ploy to sweeten the pill. In reality, the state itself, represented by its state body Rosimushchestvo, no longer owns 50, but only 38.37% of the giant’s shares, the rest are divided between OJSC Rosneftegaz (10.74%) and OJSC Rosgazifikatsiya (0.89%).
What does this mean? Exactly that President Putin can harshly bark: “Sha! Do as I said!” only by 38%. Agree, this is a slightly different caliber in the command-administrative system of corporate management. By the way, profits from the sale of gas are also distributed - you and I get only 38% of what GAZPROM produces, because the contents of our subsoil, having passed through the pipe to the surface, are somehow transformed and begin to belong to the technicians who stuck this very pipe. As if a neighbor, having installed a pump on a well in your yard, sold water to everyone (including you), paying you a tax on this action. But I digress, let’s return to GAZPROM, clarifying that even 38% of the produced gas still belongs not to you and me, but to GAZPROM itself, we only own a share in the profit.
There is also Rosneftegaz, 100% owned by Rosiimushchestvo, which was created as a “temporary storage” of shares of Rosneft and Gazprom. It was supposed to be liquidated as soon as it repaid the multibillion-dollar loan received, but it still exists. For what? And then, so as not to concentrate the controlling stake in one hand. After all, the direct blocking stake should be 50% + 1 share. This is the subtlety - in order to directly block this or that decision, 50% +1 must be concentrated in one hand. Otherwise, horse dancing begins.
Why am I doing all this? Besides the fact that Russia is not authoritarian in its decisions on GAZPROM, ours should agree with the other owners.
Who are these “other owners”? From the graph you can see that this is Bank of NY and some “others”.
Well, BoNY is clear in what way - it is masquerading as the issuer of American depositary receipts issued for GAZPROM shares. In order not to rack your brains in vain, I will explain - this is a veiled form of transfer of state property from the colony to the metropolis. Those. 27% were directly transferred to “our American partners,” as GDP likes to cheerfully joke. Why 27? But because with 25 percent comes the “publication” of the shares, i.e. the owner of this 27% can overrule decisions made by the Company.
Who else are the shareholders, who are these “others”?
E.ON Ruhrgas AG, the largest German natural gas distribution company - 6.5%
Deutsche UFG, a hedge fund company 100% owned by Deutsche Bank - over 3%
NAFTA-MOSCOW, Cyprus company (guess why and by whom created) - 5.3%
NAFTA-VOSTOK, a fund, again, it’s not even worth explaining who created it - 1.5%
INTECO (yes, Madame Baturina) - 1%
The remaining 5.5% is sprayed among the gang, i.e. for milk for your loved ones.
So, Russia, or rather our President V.V. Putin. (in principle, for some time now I have not separated my president), are not able to firmly make an unambiguous decision on certain actions of GAZPROM, but must negotiate with the same ones who are preparing all this crap with gas supplies - amers, burghers and 5- th column, owning assets located outside Russian jurisdiction and directly managing the concern.
And now look - Putin is alone in GAZPROM. Against him are the shareholders, the authors of the coup in Ukraine, and the managers who are held by the Adam’s apple of their assets by these same shareholders.
