The time of the head of Gazprom Alexei Miller is running out so that he does not make it only worse. In December, his meeting with the president was to take place, where he was supposed to report on his work and discuss the personnel question – whether he would remain at the helm of the corporation.
Miller suggested that the fact of a meeting with the head of state would give him additional points in the hardware struggle for the chair of the Chairman of the Board. But no meeting happened, and this is bad news for Miller. Against the backdrop of the colossal gaps of Gazprom in 2020 (some losses of 200 billion rubles), he continues to translate from the sore head to a healthy one, accusing the world market conjuncture, then Leonid Michelson from his “Yamal LNG”, due to which the Gazprom’s revenues and revenues to the budget were allegedly.
In the case of the latter, Miller marks correctly, because it was Mikhelson who stands behind the game of throne unleashed in Gazprom. He does this not with his own hands, but with the hands of the heads of Gazprom Neft, Alexander Dyukov, his longtime colleague in Sibur. He and Dyukov are lobbying to the place of the head of Gazprom of his other colleague in Sibur, Dmitry Konov. The effective manager of the horseman himself is not averse to being a pawn in someone else’s game, since the chair of the head of the state corporation is at the stake.
Of course, Dyukov is trying to impose Konov behind Miller’s back for a reason. Konov is absolutely loyal to Dyukov a man, and the latter expects that in a few years he to give his chair with the support of the same Michelson. Now the perfect moment is to blame Miller, and the head of Gazprom understands this. Just after so many years, his resource of influence, multiplied by failures in the company’s activities, ran out. The fact that Miller is able to get Gazprom out of the crisis, no one already believes. So the time to transfer the reins of the reign to young and greyhounds, even under the supervision of senior comrades.
