Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Board of Gazprom. The best Russian manager Alexey Miller: biography, career, personal life. Alexey Miller's connections

The role of natural gas for sustainable development the global economy in the long term cannot be overestimated. In the coming years, the importance of Gazprom, the largest transnational gas holding company, will steadily grow, which will require its leadership to make many fateful decisions in the full sense of the word. Fortunately, the company has been headed by an experienced top manager for more than 15 years, under whose leadership the company has won many victories - Alexey Borisovich Miller.

Each of Gazprom’s successes receives worthy coverage in the press, but the person behind these achievements is his individual career path, management approach and outstanding personal qualities– sometimes remains in the shadows.

Meanwhile, Alexey Borisovich Miller is one of those specialists who today are commonly called self-made men: having started his work as a junior researcher, he subsequently took the post of head of the largest state monopoly.

AlexeiMillerborn on January 31, 1962 in the city of Leningrad. In 1979, he entered the Leningrad Institute of Finance and Economics and five years later (in 1984) he graduated from his alma mater with a diploma in economics.

The first place of work of the future head of Gazprom was LenNIIproekt, now the largest research and design institute for housing and civil construction. At this research institute, he subsequently defended his PhD thesis and worked as a junior researcher for about a year.

In 1990, AlexeyMillerinvited to the Committee on economic reform executive committee of the Leningrad City Council, and a year later he moved to the Committee for External Relations of the St. Petersburg City Hall, where he worked until 1996 as deputy head and head of the department of foreign economic relations. The duties of the young economist included the development of the first investment zones in the city. In particular, he oversaw the investment zones Pulkovo (where the factories of the Coca-Cola and Gillette companies were built) and Parnas (where the complex of buildings of the Baltika brewing company was located). In addition, it was AlexeyMillerbrought the first foreign banks to St. Petersburg, such as Dresden Bank and Lyon Credit. He was also involved in the hotel business - he was the chairman of the board of directors of the Europe Hotel.

In 1996, AlexeyMillermoved to work at OJSC Sea Port of St. Petersburg, where he took the chair of director for development and investment. Obvious managerial talent and the experience gained in previous positions allowed him to successfully continue his career as a manager.

In 1999Millerwas appointed General Director of OJSC Baltic Pipeline System, and already in 2000 became Deputy Minister of Energy of Russia.

According to the then press secretary of the Ministry Oleg Smirnov, Miller coordinated all international activities of the department. It was thanks to his efforts that the Ministry of Energy managed to establish cooperation with OPEC and, as a result, maintain a fairly high price for oil on world markets.

The date May 30, 2001 can be called fateful for the entire energy industry in Russia: it was on this day that Miller was elected chairman of the board of Gazprom OJSC. In the same year, he first took the post of Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gazprombank - and went down in the history of the company as a leader, under whose leadership a huge number of strategically significant projects were implemented.

High-tech oil production

January 30, 2017 at 5:38 am

Regionservisneft LLC - solving problems of increasing the efficiency of oil production using technology.

LLC Manufacturing Enterprise "Mekhmash", founded in 2001 in the hero city of Tula, was initially focused on providing wide range metal machining services. Since 2009, Mekhmash has also been actively developing products for the oil and gas industry.

The business partnership between PP Mekhmash LLC and PJSC Gazprom began in 2010 and allowed the company to develop steadily. During this time, Mekhmash became a manufacturer and supplier of products for the projects: “Expansion of the UGSS to ensure gas supply to the South Stream gas pipeline, stage I (Western Corridor), “Expansion of the UGSS to ensure gas supply to the South Stream gas pipeline, II stage (Eastern Corridor), “Main gas pipeline Krasnodar Territory - Crimea”, “Increasing gas supply volumes to the southwestern regions Krasnodar region"," Power of Siberia gas pipeline.

Every Russian oil and gas oligarch or a top manager of a state-owned oil and gas company has something they are proud of more than barrels and cubic meters and their billions. These are their children. We decided to show you what those whose fathers decide or decided the oil and gas destinies of the country look like.

A year ago Yusuf Alekperov, son of the president of Lukoil Vagita Alekperova, took first place in the ranking of the richest heirs Russian businessmen, compiled by the magazine "Finance". According to the publication, Yusuf will become the heir to a fortune of $7.6 billion.

Children took places from second to sixth inclusive in the 2009 ranking former governor Chukotka and co-owner of the metallurgical Evraz Group Roman Abramovich from ex-wife Irina. Their total inheritance is estimated by Finance at $13.9 billion - 2.78 billion for each of the five children.

The published ranking of the richest brides in Russia should be in his pocket for every single man in Russia who believes that places come true. It is symbolic that the daughter of the head of NOVATEK won this rating. Leonid Mikhelson With a suitable name- Victoria.

Her dowry is estimated at $5.9 billion. An enviable bride The daughter of the founder and vice-president of Lukoil is also considered Ekaterina Fedun.

The children look amazingly like their father Mikhail Khodorkovsky. At the award ceremony literary prize magazine "Znamya", which was awarded to Mikhail Khodorkovsky, his daughter Anastasia called meetings with her father “the saddest and most long-awaited moments.” She is now 19 years old. Besides her, Khodorkovsky has three sons. A son from his first marriage with Elena Dobrovolskaya - Pavel (born in 1985) and two twins from his second marriage - Ilya and Gleb(born April 17, 1999).

Very little data about
son Alexey Miller, but, apparently, he, like his high-ranking father, is more for St. Petersburg Zenit. And probably. for the German Schalke?

The eldest son of Sergei Bogdanchikov, head of Rosneft, Alexey Bogdanchikov, worked for this company for a long time, but then left it. " The only reason care are ethical considerations: my further career in Rosneft is limited by my family ties with its leader,” he noted then. Alexey Bogdanchikov is 30 years old, he graduated from MGIMO in 2002, after which he worked for two years in the credit department of the Russian branch of the Dutch bank ABN Amro. In June 2004 came to Rosneft, where he first worked in the assessment and asset operations department.

Well, a little sketch of a happy family life Vladimir Putin. His daughter is in the photo Maria. And the certificate is a sketch from pre-presidential life Dmitry Medvedev, his wife and son Ilya.

The head of Gazprom is building himself a luxurious palace in the style of the 18th century worth $50 million.
Design documentation for the proposed future residence of Gazprom head Alexei Miller, which looks like a huge palace in the style of the 18th century.
An impressive palace, very similar to the mansion in Peterhof, that suddenly grew up on the banks of the Istra Reservoir initially caused a lot of noise in blogs.
But officially, the head of Gazprom, Alexey Miller, who was listed as the real owner of the palace, did not admit that he had anything to do with it.
“Our company has nothing to do with the Istra Estate,” said Gazprom press secretary Sergei Kupriyanov. But at the same time belonging
Miller categorically refused to comment on the mansion, that is, he neither confirmed nor denied it.
The trick is that this palace used to be on, but now it’s not there, see the photos at the end.
One can only guess how serious this person is that even Google is hiding this palace.

All residents of the village of Berezhki who agree to talk about the estate are sure that it is Miller’s palace. There are basically no other versions.


“This is definitely Miller’s palace. He even came here three or four times,” says Sergei, a Berezhkovka resident. Minority shareholder of Gazprom Alexey Navalny and former State Duma deputy, leader of the Moscow region branch of the Right Cause party Boris Nadezhdin confirmed that Miller owns the palace, citing their sources.


In the village of Berezhki, the palace and park ensemble is visible from everywhere. The main house, as it appears in project documentation, flaunts in the very center of a gigantic plot of 31 hectares. The blue pseudo-baroque building is decorated with white vases along the perimeter of the roof. Most of the territory is surrounded by a high concrete fence. On the water side, the fence is mesh, and other buildings are clearly visible. An artificial canal (there is no water in it yet) leads from the palace to the pavilion; along it, on both sides, there is a French-style park with future fountains. There is also a garage and a turret with a weather vane of unclear purpose.


In the administration rural settlement Sokolovskoye, to which Berezhki belongs, claims that construction has been going on for about five years. An area of ​​31.9 hectares (according to the Federal Real Estate Cadastre Agency) was purchased from local residents, who, as a result of privatization in the 90s, were given 1.5 hectares of land. On November 5, 2003, the government of the Moscow region changed the purpose of the site from “agricultural land” to “settlement land” (Resolution No. 642/40), which allowed construction to begin on it. According to the head of the administration, Marina Veremeenko, there were no complaints about the construction from local residents arrives. “Once upon a time, we went to the site to check because of complaints about garbage, but since then everything has been fine,” Veremeenko said. Residents of Berezhki, indeed, say that they have nothing against the construction of the local Peterhof (the palace is very reminiscent of it), “the main thing is that the river is not spoiled.”


Local resident Alexey says that several years ago he worked at a construction site and was paid very well there. “At first there were 600 workers here, but now there are about 300,” he says. Next to the palace, behind the same fence, the Istra Estate cottage community is being built. The customer of the project, as the sign says, is the company Stroygazconsulting, and the general contractor is CJSC Delor. Both the palace and the cottages are guarded by the same private security company, Stone. One of the guards, escorting the Gazeta.Ru correspondent away from the construction site, says that he is guarding an object of national importance, but what it is and who it belongs to, they say refuses. No more than six cottages and a church are being built in the village. Delors, where the correspondent called, does not deny the fact of construction, but refuses further comments. Locals are sure that “Miller’s friends” will live in the cottages around. Across the road, also behind a massive fence, are several more technical buildings and trailers for workers.


"Stroygazconsulting" - big company(it employs almost 30 thousand people), specializing in infrastructure projects for Gazprom, in particular, is engaged in the construction of gas pipelines (Nord Stream and others). The president of the company is Ziyad Manasir, who is on the latest list of the richest businessmen in the Russian version of Forbes magazine occupies 75th position with a fortune of $500 million. The magazine calls Manasir a person from Putin’s entourage. The co-owner of Stroygazconsulting is Olga Grigorieva, the daughter of ex-deputy director of the FSB and Putin’s friend Alexander Grigoriev (former head of the State Reserve, who died suddenly in December last year). The company, which Gazeta.Ru contacted, honestly admitted that they were building a “baroque palace,” but for our own purposes. “We are building a palace in the style of the 18th century for ourselves. It is not a copy of Peterhof; rather, it was taken from all known palaces. We have money and we decided to spend it this way. Most likely, we will hold receptions here and receive delegations,” Victoria Mironova, head of the public relations department, told Gazeta.Ru. According to her, the palace has nothing to do with Miller personally or with Gazprom as a whole. . Why a rather highly specialized contractor would need a gigantic reception house remains a mystery.


The author of the project for the improvement and landscaping of the Istra Estate Park is the Bruns-Park company. Gazprom is in first place on the list of its clients. The company confirmed that in 2006–2007 they developed a project for the park, and it was accepted, but they refused to name the customer. It is interesting that Mironova knows nothing about the construction cottage village. According to her, Stroygazconsulting is building only a palace on the shore of the Istrinsky reservoir. At the same time, the department of Stroygazconsulting, which is responsible specifically for this project, confirmed the fact of construction, stating that “the cottages are not for sale, since they already have owners.” Gazeta.Ru managed to obtain a project for the construction of the cottage village “Istrinskaya Usadba”, the customer which is Stroygazconsulting. The project of the village was approved on December 12, 2006 at a meeting of the urban planning commission of the Moscow regional government. The village was divided into three sections, the total area of ​​which was more than 37 hectares (5.8 hectares of which are occupied by communications), of which the development occupies about 9 thousand square meters. m. In total, on the territory of the cottage village there should have been 26 buildings, of which 6 were residential buildings. According to the agreed project, only 25 people were supposed to live in the village.


However, on October 23, 2008, the urban planning commission again reviewed and approved a slightly modified project for the Istrinskaya Estate. The area remained the same, but the number of residential buildings increased and amounted to 11. There are just five houses on the territory of the palace and park ensemble. Unlike the cottages still under construction, the palace and other buildings of the ensemble have already been completed. The deputy head of the Solnechnogorsk district administration, Vladimir Zaitsev, who gave permission for the advanced construction of these five houses on the territory of the village, in a conversation with Gazeta.Ru, could not remember either the palace or the park, although he recalled the project of the Stroygazconsulting company. “We haven’t heard anything from them lately,” said Zaitsev. The approximate cost of the Istra Estate, as calculated by Gazeta.Ru with the help of real estate specialists, is $50 million, even taking into account the decline in the market.

Third-party assessments, characteristics

The newly elected Chairman of the Board of OJSC Gazprom, Alexey Miller, has extensive experience in the fuel and energy complex both in the domestic and international markets, says Oleg Smirnov, press secretary of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation. He noted Miller's positive experience as supervisor of the Baltic Pipeline System project. Smirnov also emphasized that Miller, while working at the Ministry of Energy as a deputy minister, was the coordinator of the international activities of this department. In particular, while working in this position, Miller did a lot of work on cooperation with OPEC, Smirnov said. In addition, Miller’s work with OPEC made it possible to maintain a fairly high price for oil on world markets, which will have a positive impact on the formation of the current budget and the implementation of government investment programs, Smirnov is convinced. (RIA News ")

The appointment of Alexey Miller to the post of chairman of the board of Gazprom was literally shocking for the company's management. The company's management learned about it an hour before the start of the board meeting - during a conversation with the president in the Kremlin. At the meeting, the discussion was about who will lead Gazprom in the next few years. It was there that Gazprom employees learned the name of their new boss. And after half an hour, Rem Ivanovich had no choice but to support the candidacy of Alexei Miller. (“Nezavisimaya Gazeta”, May 2001)

In January 2001, the media reported that a successor had already been selected for Energy Minister Alexander Gavrin. This is Alexey Miller, appointed Deputy Minister of Energy at the end of July 2000. In oil circles they say that Miller was first introduced to Gavrin like this: “Meet this, this is your replacement - the next Minister of Energy.”

Thus, Gavrin was made to understand that he had to work “until the first puncture.” Miller came to the Ministry of Energy from the famous Baltic Pipeline System OJSC, which was created to finance and build the BTS, where he worked as general director since October last year. And before that, his career included the St. Petersburg seaport. It is not surprising that the choice may fall on Miller. He is well known personally to Vladimir Putin. When the current president served as head of the St. Petersburg Foreign Relations Committee in 1995, Miller was his direct subordinate - the head of the foreign economic relations department. (“Vedomosti”, January 2001)

Almost all representatives of the Russian fuel elite unanimously called Miller “Putin’s man,” which gave another reason to compare his appointment with Gryzlov’s... However, Gazprom was not heard of as a possible step in Miller’s career ladder until yesterday. At the same time, appointment to main position in Gazprom, an outsider fits perfectly into Putin’s logic of gradual resignations in favor of, as they say, his own people. (“Nezavisimaya Gazeta”, May 2001)

Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov reacted “very positively” to the appointment of Alexey Miller as head of Gazprom. He emphasized that Alexey Miller is not a new person in the industry; for a year he served as Deputy Minister of Energy, “was involved in pipelines and international activities". Kasyanov believes that Miller “will be easy to master the whole range of issues.” According to the prime minister, in the new structure of Gazprom’s management, in which Rem Vyakhirev will serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors, the company will be strengthened. (RIA Novosti, 2001 )

Khristenko believes that Miller is a “prepared figure” and his qualifications are sufficient to fulfill the new duties assigned to him. The Deputy Prime Minister recalled that at the Ministry of Energy, Miller oversaw gas issues and, within the framework of his powers, was involved in working with Russia’s main strategic partners in the gas sector. The new chairman of the board of Gazprom has an economic education and an academic degree. “It’s okay that he doesn’t have direct experience working on gas wells,” says the Deputy Prime Minister.

According to the deputy chairman of the Committee on External Relations of the St. Petersburg Administration, Vladimir Churov, Miller came to work at the city mayor’s office when the Committee on External Relations, at the request of Anatoly Sobchak, was headed by Vladimir Putin. He was one of Putin's deputies. He was involved in the development of the first investment zones in the city, in particular, the Pulkovo zones (Coca-Cola and Gillette factories were built here) and Parnas (the Baltika brewing company grew up here). He brought the first foreign banks to the city, such as Dresden Bank and Credit Leone. He was involved in the hotel business and was the chairman of the board of directors of the Europe Hotel. He left Smolny a month after Putin left there in 1996. Worked as Deputy General Director of the Sea Port. At the port, when asked to characterize Alexey Miller, they responded with two figures - in the early 90s, the port’s cargo turnover was less than 10 million tons per year, in last years grew to 30 million. (“Izvestia”, 2001)

According to a Vedomosti source in one of the federal departments, at the beginning of spring, a draft decree appointing Miller as Minister of Energy was on the president’s desk. According to the source, the current head of Gazprom then refused the proposed post as unpromising. Then, according to a high-ranking White House official, the president had the idea to transfer Miller to Gazprom. “The decision was not spontaneous, but was prepared by the highest officials of the state with high degree confidentiality,” explains Vedomosti’s interlocutor.

A. Miller's appointment means only one thing. Vladimir Putin takes control of the gas empire into his own hands. This assumption is confirmed by the fact that five members of the board of directors, including R. Vyakhirev, by court decision lost the right to be re-elected to the board. Russian sources, not without reason, believe that over time their places will be taken by faithful comrades, in whose biography St. Petersburg is mentioned. (Business & Baltic)

Political views, positions

The new chairman of the board of Gazprom, Alexey Miller, promises to increase gas production by 10-15 percent by 2010. As reported by RIA Novosti, Miller said that the increase in production is expected to be achieved through the development of fields in the Arctic. In addition, the head of the gas company said that Gazprom, taking into account the projected increase in gas consumption in Europe over the next 10 years, “is ready to ensure this consumption with its supplies within the framework of existing contracts.” At the same time, Miller recalled that for 25 years Gazprom had been a reliable supplier of gas to Europe. (RIA News")

But despite the many years of closeness with Vladimir Putin and the welcoming reaction of the markets, the completed appointment raises more questions than it answers. And the main question is whether the new head of Gazprom has enough strength and experience to “straighten” the company’s financial flows and stop the process of asset withdrawal, the scale of which frightens the state and investors. The main partners of the concern are so far commenting on the change of power diplomatically.

“The management of Ruhrgas positively assesses the fact that the election of the new head of Gazprom, Mr. Miller, took place on the basis of a unanimous decision. The second important question is how the Gazprom system, which has always been distinguished by a high degree of corporatism, will accept Alexey Miller. This problem is aggravated by the fact that behind many of Gazprom’s “independent” suppliers and consumers are its own managers, and if they are fired, they may unexpectedly turn out to be his inevitable partners from Mr. Miller’s subordinates (“Vremya Novostei”, 2001)

Miller himself told news agencies that he intends to ensure continuity and strengthen the role of the state in the company. A source in the White House clarifies: the task of the new head of Gazprom is “to figure out whether there was a withdrawal of assets from Gazprom.” According to him, “Miller will maintain continuity for some time, but in the future there will be changes in the composition of the monopolist’s board.” (“Vedomosti”, 2001)

The new director of OJSC "Sea Port of St. Petersburg" (1999) essentially must create a BTS from scratch: the company was registered in August 1999, and at the first stage the company's personnel will consist of 30 people who have yet to be recruited. Miller is a fairly well-known person in St. Petersburg: before joining the Sea Port of St. Petersburg, he headed the external relations department of the city government’s external relations committee. The political orientation of Miller, who was appointed to the post of the “controversial” company (we recall that the decision to build a pipeline, the operator of which will be BTS, was not supported by LUKoil and a number of other companies), is unclear: on the one hand, he was supported by the current directors of Transneft, controlled by Nikolai Aksenenko’s team, and on the other hand, sources in the administration of St. Petersburg talk about Miller’s good relations with the management of Surgutneftegaz, a company extremely interested in BTS.

Additional Information

The ladies who worked with Alexei Miller at Smolny remember him from their feminine side and therefore asked not to reveal them incognito: “He always said hello and smiled.” “Not a bad official, it’s noticeable that the careerist, although he behaved modestly, was always in the shadows. You know, one of those that “sounds more than it seems.” (“Izvestia”, 2001)

One of Miller’s former colleagues at KVS said: “Alexey is very efficient and obedient.

He does what he is told to do. There is nothing bad to say about him, but nothing good either.

He does not have his own opinion and is very convenient to deal with some other “Media Bridge”. But Miller won’t dare steal from him. Unless it's for yourself."

The head of the family died early, the child was raised by his mother.

Professional experience of Alexey Borisovich Miller

After graduating from the institute, he worked as an engineer-economist in the master plan workshop of the Leningrad Research and Design Institute for Housing and Civil Construction LenNIIproekt of the Executive Committee of the Leningrad City Council.

In the 80s, A. Miller was a member of the informal club of young economists "Sintez", which consisted mainly of his acquaintances from Finek. The members of the club were Anatoly Chubais, Andrei Illarionov, Mikhail Manevich (vice-governor of St. Petersburg, killed in 1997), Mikhail Dmitriev and Alexey Kudrin. The future head of Gazprom later worked with some of them in the executive committee of the Leningrad City Council. In 1990 A. Miller headed a subsection in the Economic Reform Committee of the Leningrad City Council Executive Committee. The deputy chairman of this committee was then Alexey Kudrin, and Anatoly Chubais - deputy head of the executive committee of the Leningrad City Council.

But, as it turned out later, his next place played a key role in the future fate of A. Miller work- in the Committee for External Relations (KBC) of the St. Petersburg City Hall, where his immediate supervisor in 1991 was turned out to be the future of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin.

The future head of Gazprom worked at KVS until 1996. in different positions. It is believed that he contributed to the arrival of large Western banks in St. Petersburg, including Dresdner Bank, which later became a partner of the gas holding. A. Miller represented the interests of the city in joint enterprises and oversaw the hotel business - was on the board of directors of the hotel "".

In 1996 in the mayor's office of St. Petersburg has changed - Anatoly Sobchak lost the gubernatorial elections. After this, most of the members of his team, including A. Miller, also resigned from the St. Petersburg administration. He became Director for Development and Investments of OAO Sea Port of St. Petersburg, and in 1999. - General Director of JSC Baltic Pipeline System.

After V. Putin was elected to office in 2000 president RF, his former subordinate A. Miller moves to Moscow and takes the post of Deputy Minister of Energy RF. In this position, he oversaw issues of foreign economic activity and international cooperation in the fuel and energy sectors. Since January 2001 A. Miller headed the commission to develop conditions for subsoil use and prepare a draft PSA for the Shtokman field. The media predicted the post of Minister of Energy for A. Miller, but in the end he received the post of Chairman of the Board of Gazprom after the removal of the seemingly unsinkable Rem Vyakhirev from this post. Thus, the era of the Chernomyrdin-Vyakhirev gas business ended and the era of state-controlled Gazprom began. A. Miller was tasked with changing the structure of Gazprom, returning assets lost during the reign of R. Vyakhirev, and working on the financial recovery of the concern.

Born at the Donskoy stud farm, Fragrant came first to the finish line seven times during his career and remained in the prizes 12 times.

Alexey Borisovich Miller's work at Gazprom

Start work A. Miller in Gazprom was quite sluggish, although he took the news about the change of leadership with enthusiasm - investors decided that it was time for reforms. True, the reforms themselves did not begin immediately. “Non-core” for Gazprom, Alexey Borisovich began updating the team only a few months later. He faced a difficult task, because he did not have his own production gas managers. The first “purges” began in September 2001, and within a year all of R. Vyakhirev’s deputies lost their positions. Including key top managers- Deputy Chairman of the Board Sergei Dubinin and Alexander Pushkin, who oversaw sales in the CIS, Vyacheslav Sheremet, responsible for the financial block, Chief Accountant Irina Bogatyreva.

A. Miller had to take people from his past to a number of key positions. This is how his colleagues in BTS appeared in Gazprom - Mikhail Sereda (now deputy chairman, head of the board of staff), Kirill Seleznev (now head of Mezhregiongaz), Elena Vasilyeva took the post of chief accountant. A. Miller covered the financial block with another “his” newcomer - Andrey Kruglov (an acquaintance from working at the St. Petersburg mayor’s office), who now holds the post of deputy chairman of the board and heads the financial and economic department. The production unit was almost completely preserved. Among the “veterans” of Gazprom, Alexander Ananenkov, who previously headed Yamburggazdobycha, and Yuri Komarov, who served as head of the export department (since 2009 - chief executive officer of Shtokman AG), became deputy chairmen. Appointees from the Kremlin also came, including Alexander Ryazanov, at that time a State Duma deputy, and in the past the head of the Surgut gas processing plant (left the post of deputy chairman of Gazprom in 2006).

Experts market And former leaders gas concern They predicted A. Miller's imminent resignation. Evil tongues whispered that he was not able to manage such a colossus as Gazprom, and was appointed only temporarily to “clean up” the ranks. According to one of the gas tales, R. Vyakhirev said in a narrow circle that A. Miller would hang himself in his office in a year. However, he not only did not hang himself, but also managed to strengthen his position in such a motley environment. The new head of Gazprom has actually taken root in concern in 2004, finally forming his team, which became a fusion of people from the Sea Port of St. Petersburg, BTS, the St. Petersburg City Hall, protégés of V. Putin and people from the old production block. In 2006 a five-year contract was unconditionally extended with him, and no one had any doubts about its extension.

The first and main task for A. Miller was formulated personally the president RF. At a meeting in Novy Urengoy in the fall of 2001. V. Putin clearly outlined the priority: “You need to take ownership issues seriously, otherwise you will leave your mouth open, and you will not only have SIBUR, but also other enterprises". The new team took this slogan very seriously. During the four-year campaign for the return of assets, which was accompanied by active PR, he returned for a nominal fee large stakes of shares transferred to Itera in Purgaz (Gubkin priority) and Severneftegazprom (Yuzhno- Russian), restored over SIBUR, Vostokgazprom, Zapsibgazprom, Northgas (through the court). The main asset that was returned to the state under A. Miller, Gazprom itself became: due to the purchase of shares in market in 2003 The 51% stake in the Russian Federation was restored, but 10.74% of the state stake was on the balance sheet of Gazprom’s subsidiaries. To ensure direct state control over the gas concern, an adventure was launched to merge two giants - Gazprom and Open joint stock company Rosneft" - by exchanging 10.7% of the shares of the first for 100% of the shares of the second. But in the end, due to a conflict between intra-Kremlin groups, the deal did not take place - Gazprom shares state bought it for , putting it on the balance sheet of Rosneftegaz. After this, it was liberalized (restrictions on trade them on stock market, over the 15 years of the existence of OAO Gazprom, it increased 219 times).

Under A. Miller, Gazprom set a course for business globalization. In 2005 the head of the organization set the task of becoming a noticeable speculator on the world market. At the annual meeting in 2007. he stated that the goal had been achieved and "the transformation of Gazprom from companies"national champion" into a global energy business leader." During this time, Gazprom received assets in the electric power industry, the oil sector (having purchased Sibneft in 2005), assigned priority to export directions (the share of Russian gas in imports in Europe in 2007 amounted to 40%), established good relations with the German E.On and BASF, the Italian ENI, began implementing projects to diversify supplies - gas pipelines through the Baltic and South Stream through the Black Sea, signed a number of strategic agreements on supplies supply of gas to the Asia-Pacific countries, which are still not organized, pushed through the decision to abolish state regulation on domestic gas prices.

At the same time, under A. Miller, the gas sector was virtually liquidated - they bought it from Itera Control mostly Active- Sibneftegaz, 20% of NOVATEK shares also went to Gazprom, foreign shareholders of the Sakhalin-2 project were forced to transfer Control the Russian concern, TNK BP - to sell Kovykta, access to the export pipeline is still distributed by Gazprom, taking into account its interests, it also received the status of a single gas export operator. In addition, the loud conflict with the Supplies gas to Ukraine has definitely tarnished the reputation of the Russian Federation on the world stage.
