Date of Birth. January 31, 1962

Origin. Alexey Miller was born in the city on the Neva, when it still bore the old name of Leningrad. His parents worked at a closed military factory. So Alexei has been able to keep military secrets since childhood. In addition, he grew up an obedient and executive person. These two qualities certainly determined his fate.

Education. Alexei received his secondary education at gymnasium No. 330 in St. Petersburg, which he graduated with honors in 1979. However, the graduate was not awarded a gold medal, because there were too many excellent students that year, and there was simply not enough “gold” for everyone.

Immediately after school, Miller enters the Leningrad Institute of Economics and Finance (LFEI) and five years later becomes a certified engineer-economist.

In 1989, having defended his dissertation at LFEI, the future millionaire received the title of candidate economic sciences.

Career. The professional growth of the financier Miller began back in the distant 80s, when he was a regular at the informal club of young economists "Synthesis". Already at that time he was short leg with Anatoly Chubais, Andrei Illarionov, Mikhail Manevich, Alexei Kudrin - representatives of the past and present political elite.

In 1990, Alexei worked on the executive committee of the Leningrad City Council for economic reform. A year later, he moved to work in another Committee - on external relations of the city mayor's office (FAC). His immediate superior until 1996 was Vladimir Putin himself.

From 1996 to 1999, he held the position of Development and Investment Director of the Sea Port in St. Petersburg.

In the year of his appointment as President V.V. Putin (2000) Alexey Miller was appointed Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation. And a year later he sits in the chair of the Chairman of the Management Board of OAO Gazprom.

The businessman also heads the boards of directors of Gazprom's subsidiaries: Gazprombank, NPF Gazfond, IC SOGAZ and Gazpromneft (formerly Sibneft).

Hobbies. One of Alexei Miller's colleagues, who wished to remain incognito, called him a "careerist." It is logical to assume that the career is Miller's passion. However, classmates say that when he was Alex, he liked to play the guitar, run around the football field or cheer for Zenit.

According to the businessman himself, he still has a love for the guitar and Zenith, and besides, he is not averse to skiing or cycling.

A family. Alexey Miller and his wife Irina are raising their son Mikhail. The family lives in two houses - in St. Petersburg and in Moscow. Alexei does not cover his personal life, but free time prefers to spend in a quiet family circle

Phrase. In one of his interviews, Alexey Miller compared business to something in between art and war.

What annoys him? Banquets, receptions, noisy companies. Although, perhaps this is due to kidney stones.

Advantages. Executive workaholic. Always achieves the goal, believes both in himself and in his partners.

Flaws. Does not like to "stick out", always remains as if in the shadows. Hidden.

Valuable advice. Dreaming is good! This is how the vision becomes reality.

Awards. At one time, Alexei Miller did not get a gold medal, but by the age of fifty he has many honorary titles, medals, orders. For strengthening friendship and international cooperation, he was awarded orders from the Republic of Armenia, Kazakhstan, South Ossetia, Vietnam, Italy. He is an honorary citizen of the city of Astrakhan. He has sacred titles and orders from the Russian Orthodox Church. Most recently, in February 2012, he received a certificate of honor from the hands of the President of the Russian Federation for his long conscientious work in the gas industry.

More than 129 billion rubles passed through the firms of relatives of top managers of Gazprom in 2010-2012

Thirteen years ago, instead of Rem Vyakhirev, Gazprom was headed by Alexei Miller. Then the company declared one of its tasks the fight against nepotism. Years later, through companies associated with relatives of his top managers, not less money concern.

What did the current leadership of Gazprom fight for, when in the early 2000s they took away assets and Gazprom contracts from relatives of the former heads of the concern [Rem Vyakhirev and Viktor Chernomyrdin], one of the former top managers of Gazprom asks a question. “This was called Vyakhirev's 'fight against the legacy'. 13 years have passed - the "heritage" won everyone. Again, relatives and friends in the Gazprom business, but this is already the relatives of the current leaders, ”says the interlocutor of Vedomosti.

Indeed, in November 2001, having presented the Order of Merit to the Fatherland, IV degree, in Novy Urengoy to the retiring Vyakhirev, Russian President Vladimir Putin immediately after the ceremony began instructing his replacement Alexei Millerhow to deal with the Vyakhirev legacy: the main thing is to make sure nothing was stolen.

“Putin understood how important Gazprom was for his power, he wanted to control it, get rid of everything superfluous and strengthen it. He was annoyed by the “collective farms of Vyakhirev”, non-market prices for exported gas and incomprehensible intermediaries and contractors,” recalls one of the former leaders of Gazprom. The children of Vyakhirev and Chernomyrdin were co-owners of Gazprom's monopoly construction contractor, the Stroytransgaz company, and Vyakhirev's son, Yuri, headed Gazprom's export subsidiary, Gazexport.

Miller was entrusted with putting things in order. “Miller worked as Vladimir Putin's deputy in the committee on foreign relations of the St. Petersburg mayor's office, they are well acquainted and close in spirit. Miller never focused on himself, he just did his job, ”Miller’s friend shares his opinion.

What happened? Vedomosti found out that there were no fewer contractors and intermediaries of Gazprom associated with relatives of its top managers. The cash flow through the companies of these relatives has not decreased either. True, gas prices and, as a result, Gazprom's revenue and its investment program have also grown significantly since then.

From the old team to the new

In 2001-2002 at the invitation of Miller, Elena Kasyan, who now holds the position of head of the company's personnel management department, and Andrey Kruglov, now deputy chairman of the board, head of the financial and economic department, came to Gazprom. In 2004, Kruglov became the chief financier of Gazprom. He is considered one of Miller's trusted people. Once they were introduced by Matthias Warnig, a former agent of the East German state security service Stasi and a longtime friend of Putin, one of the former leaders of Gazprom told Vedomosti. Warnig worked at Dresdner Bank in the early 1990s and created a joint venture between Dresdner and Bank Nationale de Paris (BNP - Dresdner Bank) in Russia, where Kruglov began working as an inspector of the international operations department in 1994. In 1995, he left the chief as a specialist in the committee on external relations of the St. Petersburg mayor's office, having managed to work under the command of Putin, who then headed the committee.

Kasyan is called cousin Miller, and Kruglov - his relative through his wife, were heard by two people close to Gazprom. Miller denies this. “This is just nonsense,” he told Vedomosti through a representative. Kruglov and Kasyan did not respond to Vedomosti's inquiries.

From daughter to son

Having become a member of the board of Gazprom in 2002, Kruglov in 2004 headed the board of directors of Centernergogaz, a subsidiary of Gazprom, responsible for the overhaul and reconstruction of its facilities. At the same time, its general director was also replaced - this position was taken by the St. Petersburg banker Dmitry Doev, co-owner of Sevzapinvestprombank. People close to him say that the banker Doev and the financier Kruglov have known each other for a long time.

In 2002-2003 Gazprom has a new construction contractor - VIS manufacturing company (PF VIS), registered in Gatchina. She began to perform work for Astrakhangazprom and Orenburggazprom. And at the end of the summer of 2004, she received a major contract for the reconstruction of the Orenburg helium plant. Since that time, Gazprom's enterprises have become the main customers of PF VIS. Thanks to cooperation with a gas corporation, a small company has become one of the largest Russian engineering and construction groups. Its revenue has increased more than 1000 times. According to the company, if in 2003 this figure was only 20 million rubles, then by the end of 2013 it exceeded 25 billion rubles. The company's net profit last year amounted to 568 million rubles, the portfolio of orders until 2020 exceeds 150 billion rubles.

This result puts it in fifth place among the largest infrastructure builders in Russia - after Mostotrest, Inzhtransstroy Corporation, NPO Mostovik and ARKS Corporation. But all these companies have suffered from the crisis in the industry: Mostovik is going bankrupt, Inzhtransstroy is being liquidated, Mostovik and ARKS employees are complaining about a decrease in profits due to the completion of large projects and a general decrease in profitability. But PF VIS, in a presentation on its website, reports that its revenue and order portfolio are only growing.

Now the group unites 10 construction and engineering companies employing 2,000 people, according to its presentation. The largest projects that the company is implementing for Gazprom are the reconstruction of the Orenburg gas processing plant, the construction of the Novy Urengoy gas chemical complex, the reconstruction of compressor stations and administrative complexes.

However, the interests of PF VIS are no longer limited to the contracts of Gazprom and its companies. She also built infrastructure facilities for Winter Olympics in Sochi, performed work for OAO System Operator UES, modernized the Kirishskaya and Ryazanskaya state district power plants, and also landscaped the embankments in Astrakhan and Yaroslavl. However, Gazprom was also an investor in the improvement of the embankments.

PF VIS is also remarkable in that it is one of the few contractors of Gazprom, for whose loans it is entrusted. In 2010, when PF VIS helped Gazprom build a ski complex in Sochi, it received guarantees on a VTB loan  for 16 billion rubles. And in 2012 and at the end of 2013 - by 2.507 billion and 8.164 billion rubles. respectively - secured by a credit line from Sberbank . The funds were needed for the construction of industrial facilities for Gazprom. Moreover, if earlier Gazprom also vouched for other companies, for example, under the credit line of a pipe trader owned by Arkady Rotenberg, then in the monopoly's IFRS statements for 2012-2013. other recipients of this kind of support, except for the IPO PF, are not indicated.

Vedomosti failed to find out the beneficiaries of the PF VIS. The company is owned by three offshore companies from the British Virgin Islands and a company from Switzerland. Their owners are not disclosed. But the board of directors of PF VIS includes three partners of Doev in Sevzapinvestprombank - Igor Snegurov, Alexander Zamyatin and Petr Ilyin. And the general director of the PF VIS Sergey Palkin is the son of the first deputy general director of Centrenergogaz Sergey Palkin. Palkin Sr. also became Doev's first deputy in holding company Gazprom Tsentrremont, which organizes the maintenance and repair of Gazprom's facilities.

Doev and a representative of Gazprom Tsentrremont did not answer Vedomosti's questions. The representative of the PF VIS declined to comment.

“There are many players around state-controlled companies who may have certain relationships with the current management of these state-owned companies. The success of such players is largely related to what positions and opportunities their contacts have in these state structures. In a short period of time, they can increase the volume of business. But all this is connected with certain people in state-owned companies. And if they leave successful business can end just as quickly, ”says BCS analyst Igor Kraevsky.

From granddaughter to brother

In February 2014, Gazprom's granddaughter, Gazprom Gas Distribution, sold 12.5% ​​of Rossiya Bank, the main owner of which is Putin's longtime acquaintance Yuri Kovalchuk. The buyers were two Moscow firms - Overpas-Invest and Oberon Estate. The first got 5.396%, the second - 7.086%. Oberon Estate is controlled by 30-year-old Petersburger Ivan Mironov. He also owns 1% in Overpas-invest, 99% of this company is owned by his friend, 32-year-old Tatyana Svitova.

Svitova is the daughter of Elena Svitova, Senior Vice President of Rossiya Bank. And Mironov is the half-brother of a member of the board of Gazprom, Kirill Seleznev (this was reported in the spring by " New Newspaper"). Seleznev confirmed to Vedomosti that Mironov is his half-brother. He also said that he had known Miller for more than 13 years. In fact, we've known each other for at least 15 years. Seleznev and Miller worked together at the Seaport of St. Petersburg (Miller left in 1999) and at the Baltic Pipeline System. Seleznev came to Gazprom in 2001 at the age of 27 to the position of deputy head of the board apparatus - Miller's assistant. An acquaintance of the chairman of the board of Gazprom says that he appreciates Seleznev very much. A few years ago, he spoke of his subordinate as a talented employee with a great future, says the source of Vedomosti.

Neither Seleznev nor a representative of Rossiya Bank named the amount of the deal. In February 2014, before the US sanctions against Russia, 12% of its shares could cost about 3.5 billion rubles, says Maxim Vasin, senior analyst at the National Rating Agency. True, he clarifies that the real price of the transaction could depend on its conditions and the interest of the parties: "the seller - in the speedy sale, the buyer - in joining the club of co-owners of the bank." Now Mironov and Svitova have become the largest co-owners of Rossiya Bank after Kovalchuk's structures.

Where could Mironov and Svitova get the money for such a purchase? Mironov works as deputy general director of the St. Petersburg company Expoforum-International, which manages the Lenexpo exhibition complex, which hosts the St. economic forum. And the firms associated with it are listed as co-owners of companies that provide services to Gazprom enterprises (see inset). The total revenue of these companies is about 100 billion rubles. (hereinafter SPARK data).

You can contact Mironov by work phone through the Expoforum International switchboard. True, he refused to talk about his business. "I can't comment on anything.<…>I am far from all this,” Mironov told Vedomosti.

“The bank has complied with all the necessary conditions and procedures within the framework of the current legislation,” its representative answered the question whether the source of funds used to buy the bank's shares has been verified.

However, two former top managers of Gazprom believe that owning a 12% stake in the "bank of Putin's friends" is not at all the level of the brother of a Gazprom board member, and not even the level of the board member himself. “Theoretically, such a purchase can only correspond to the level of an old acquaintance of Putin, who has earned the right to enter the close circle of the president, that is, Miller himself,” one of the former leaders of Gazprom shares his opinion.

Registration of assets in the name of a trustee is a very delicate moment, experts say. “Usually there is a practice that this person writes a will - to whom the asset should go in case of death. True, such a will can be rewritten at any time and no one will know about it. So, theoretically, such relationships can only arise with conceptual agreements and full trust,” explains Alexander Zakharov, partner of Paragon Advice Group.

For the structure of Gazprom, the stake in Rossiya Bank was non-core and “a decision was made to sell the bank’s shares at market value in compliance with all competitive procedures,” Seleznev himself told Vedomosti. And he added that he knew nothing about his brother's business.

Alexey Miller was born on January 31, 1962 in St. Petersburg. The boy grew up in a Russian German family. Mother, Lyudmila Alexandrovna Miller, father, Boris Vasilyevich Miller. Alexei's parents worked in a closed military enterprise of the Scientific and Production Association "Leninets".

The next step in the career ladder of a successful Russian economist was the Committee on Foreign Relations in the mayor's office of the city of St. Petersburg, in which Vladimir Putin was Miller's immediate supervisor. This collaboration has become key point in the further successful biography of Alexei Borisovich.

Thanks to Miller, the development of the first investment zones in the city took place: Pulkovo and Parnassus, where the Gillette, Coca-Cola, and Baltika factories were built.

Hobbies of Miller Alexey Borisovich

However, classmates say that when he was Alex, he liked to play the guitar, run around the football field or cheer for Zenit. According to the businessman himself, he still has a love for the guitar and Zenith, and besides, he is not averse to skiing or cycling.

The work of Miller Alexei Borisovich in Gazprom

Start work A. Miller in Gazprom was rather 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. Aleksey Borisovich, "non-core" for Gazprom, started 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 seats. Including key top managers- Deputy Chairman of the Board Sergei Dubinin and Alexander Pushkin, who oversaw sales in the CIS, Vyacheslav Sheremet, who was in charge of the financial unit, chief accountant Irina Bogatyreva.

A. Miller had to take people from his past for a number of key posts. This is how his associates in BTS appeared in Gazprom - Mikhail Sereda (now - deputy chairman, head of the administration), 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 his work in 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 block was almost completely preserved. Of the "veterans" of Gazprom, Alexander Ananenkov, who previously headed Yamburggazdobycha, and Yuri Komarov, who held the post of 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 GPP (he left the post of deputy chairman of Gazprom in 2006).

Experts market and former leaders of the gas concern predicted A. Miller's early resignation. Evil tongues whispered that he was not able to manage such a colossus as Gazprom, but was appointed only temporarily to "clean up" the ranks. According to one of the gas tales, R. Vyakhirev in a narrow circle said 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. New head Gazprom has actually taken root in concern in 2004, having finally formed his team, which became an alloy of people from the Sea Port of St. Petersburg, BTS, the St. Petersburg City Hall, V. Putin's protégé and people from the old production unit. 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 personally formulated by the president RF. At a meeting in Novy Urengoy in the fall of 2001. Vladimir Putin clearly outlined the priority: “It is necessary to take property issues seriously, otherwise you will open your mouth and you will not have not only SIBUR, but also other enterprises". The new team took this slogan very seriously. In the course of a four-year asset recovery campaign, which was accompanied by active PR, he returned for a nominal fee the large blocks of shares transferred to Itera in Purgaz (Gubkinskoe priority) and Severneftegazprom (Yuzhno- Russian), restored over SIBUR, Vostokgazprom, Zapsibgazprom, Northgaz (through the court).The main asset that was returned state under A. Miller, Gazprom itself became: by buying up shares on market in 2003 a 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, a gamble 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 redeemed for, putting it on the balance sheet of Rosneftegaz. After that, it was liberalized (restrictions on trade them on stock market, over the 15 years of the existence of OAO Gazprom, it has grown by 219 times).

Under A. Miller, Gazprom headed for the globalization of business. In 2005 the head of the organization set the task of becoming a prominent speculator in the world market. at the annual meeting in 2007. he stated that the goal had been achieved and "the transformation of Gazprom from firms"national champion" in the global energy business leader has taken place. "During this time, Gazprom received assets in the electric power industry, the oil sector (purchasing Sibneft in 2005), assigned priority to export directions (the share of Russian gas in imports in Europe in 2007 amounted to 40%), acquired 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 gas to the Asia-Pacific countries, which, however, are still not organized, pushed through the decision to abolish state regulation on domestic gas prices.

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