Return of this Igor Ivanovich

Who controls the fake

The return of this Igor Ivanovich. Who controls our everything-the fuel and energy complex? Until recently, such a question did not arise: ten years the main one in TEK in the country was Igor Sechin-first as the deputy head of the Kremlin administration, and then-Deputy Prime Minister. But in the new government there was no sechin place. Igor Ivanovich became “only” by the head of Rosneft. However, as they say, follow your hands

Sechin knew that the government was “not shining” to him on September 24, when Medvedev declared Putin the president, and Putin - the prime minister. With Medvedev, Sechin has a long -standing conflict. (The New Times wrote in detail about this in No. 18 of May 28, 2012). Yes, and with a number of people from the near Putin’s nearby, he, as they say, has not been done recently. In short, as the insiders say, the whole spring went to the guarantor, whose fortune is estimated in the Forbes list with billions of dollars - de, father, protect us from your orderly. “But I'm afraid that somewhere he (Sechin) will still come up,” said The New Times, one of these walkers. “The main thing is that he could no longer instruct the security forces -“ throw grenades ”of competitors,” a high -ranking interlocutor hoped.
Sechin begins and ...
The faithful ally of Vladimir Putin de facto returned to the management of oil and gas flows on June 15-after the new presidential commission was formed: on the strategic development of the fuel and energy complex and environmental safety. The president personally headed it, and Sechin became the responsible secretary of the commission. It was he, as they say, the sources familiar with the process in the oil industry, who prepared this hardware “bomb”.
This commission, in accordance with the presidential decree, is actually vested with the right to manage all Russian subsoil and control the activities of all oil and gas companies - including deposits distribution, the allocation of budget funds, tax policy, and control of pricing in the industry. Its decisions will be mandatory for executive bodies. That is, the emergence of a decree on the new commission established a completely different management scheme: the most important economic decisions - from tariffs to taxes, from gasoline prices and to investment programs - will be formulated for the government of Putin - Sechin.
With the advent of the Presidential Commission, the government commission on the fuel and energy complex, which after Igor Sechin left to Rosneft, was led by Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich, is losing its influence. This follows from the Presidential Commission, which, in addition to the oil workers, included all key ministers, heads of departments and market regulators.
The piquancy of the situation is that in the Presidential Commission, where Igor Sechin is a responsible secretary, in fact, determining the work of the commission, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Oilskoye Curator in the Dvororkovich government, an ordinary participant. In Cloarid conversations, oil industrymen consider the endowment of Igor Sechin to broad powers unfair to other companies. “In fact, the head of Rosneft will rise above the rest. The head of one of the companies - even a large one - will request materials from his competitors, give instructions to colleagues from other structures and even representatives of state bodies. ” In fact, experts say, Sechin de facto regacted his deputy-premier functions: now the fuel and energy complex is not controlled by the government, but from the Kremlin.
Medvedev’s answer ...
The prime minister and his team, having missed this hardware blow, decided to intercept the initiative. On behalf of the prime minister, Arkady Dvorkovich gathered oil generals on June 18 at a meeting on the most important problem for the industry - taxation. At the same time, the prime minister, turning to Dvorkovich, and in fact-to Sechin, said: “There are no companies that have a control package, card blanche for decision-making, everything is in equal position, everyone is engaged in the same thing: they produce oil or gas and create the basics for the normal functioning of the Russian budget.”
The tax issue for oil workers is very acute, raising it, Arkady Dvorkovich is trying to intercept the influence in the oil and gas industry in the presidential commission, whose authority also includes the solution of these problems, the New Abzalov, leading expert at the Center for Political Conjuncture, explained to The New Times. “But oil industry workers need an understandable position and one negotiator, they don’t care how interaction with the Ministry of Finance will take place. It is important for them that fiscal preferences are received faster, ”the expert added.
... and Putin's summary
From the hardware struggle and tug of war between the two commissions the head of the oil workers itself goes around, the source of the magazine in the industry claims. Who to listen to, to whom to obey, who is to look for solutions to their problems? The oil generals agreed to find the answer to these questions at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, where their meeting with the president was planned. It took place on the evening of June 21, and about 50 people attended it, half of which were Russian generals TEK, half were foreign, working in the Russian market. Of course, the question is in the forehead: "Who should we obey now, Vladimir Vladimirovich?" - Nobody asked. However, according to The New Times, the important words about the significance of the presidential, that is, Igor Ivanovich Sechin, the commission, Putin, made it clear to those present with whom they should conduct business “in an adult”.
True, the source of the magazine believes that it is too early to put the point in the confrontation between the two commissions on TEK. According to the laws of the hardware struggle of Medvedev and Dvorkovich, they will try to recruit supporters from oil generals. But ... “To eat it, he will eat, who will give him:“ So far, you can fix the actual defeat of the team of Prime Minister Medvedev: they still did not manage to do anything, and 30% of the Russian GDP have already taken them out of control, ”the source of the magazine said.
Within the framework of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, the prestigious Global Energy Prize has been awarded for ten years - scientists from around the world have received it that have made the greatest contribution to energy science * * This year, academics Boris Kutorgin and Valery Kostyuk and a scientist from the UK John Allah were the laureates this year. countries. This year, Vladimir Putin neglected his honorary duty. The award was awarded "on his behalf and on his behalf." He instructed Igor Ivanovich Sechin to replace himself on the stage as the head of Rosneft - and this gesture is more visual than any cups of rumors shows who is the main one.
