On Thursday, government chairman Vladimir Putin at least twice resorted to the methods of “manual management” by Russian business. Firstly, the prime minister has achieved the restructuring of the Tagaz debt with a volume of 5.4 billion rubles-the subject of long negotiations of the car factory and the VTB lending it to it. Secondly, Viktor Vekselberg convinced Viktor to part with the Bogoslav TPP in order to save the city -forming aluminum factory in the Sverdlovsk region owned by Oleg Deripaska . Slon also recalled other well-known cases when the Russian prime minister personally intervened in business processes and corrected the invisible hand of the market with his own imperious hand: from a householding Pikalavo to licenses for shows of football matches and advertising AvtoVAZ products.
