Alexey Mukhin: "Back to the future with Rosneft"

“The movement of former journalists to positions of top managers responsible for PR is, in principle, not uncommon. However, in oil and gas companies, preference was almost always given to those who wrote, so to speak, with an economic bias. Leontiev, before that, was engaged in almost “pure” politics The exception was the recent and rather harsh attacks on the head of Gazprom, Alexei Miller, which probably surprised even seasoned media killers. However, even in Leontyev’s attacks on Miller there was no “economy”.

It is likely that Sechin needed this very political background of the new vice president in order to solve some new problems that recently appeared on the agenda of the Rosneft company.
