  • Oleg Deripaska Has Struggled for Legitimacy in the United States, Where He Has Been Dogged by Civil Lawsuits Questioning the Methods He Used to Build That Empire
    The Globe and Mail (Canada) May 11, 2007 Friday Preferred by the Kremlin, shunned by the States BYLINE: SINCLAIR STEWART, With a report from Greg Keenan in Toronto SECTION: NEWS BUSINESS; STRONACH'S NEW PARTNER: 'ONE OF PUTIN'S FAVOURITE OLIGARCHS'; Pg. A1 LENGTH: 957 words DATELINE: NEW YORK He is perhaps the most powerful of Russia's oligarchs, a precocious - some would say ruthless - billionaire, who built his fortune against the bloody backdrop of that country's "aluminum wars" in the 1990s. He has nurtured close ties to the Kremlin, married the daughter of former president Boris Yeltsin's son-in-law, amassed an estimated $8-billion in personal wealth and built a corporate empire that stretches from metals and automobiles to aircraft and construction. Yet for all his success at home, 39-year-old Oleg Deripaska has struggled for legitimacy in the United States, where he has been dogged by civil lawsuits questioning the methods he used to build that empire. Mr. Deripaska has repeatedly denied allegations levelled against him, and he has not been specifically accused by American authorities of any crime. However, these whispers about shady business dealings may raise concerns about his $1.5-billion investment in Canada's Magna International, not to mention Magna's attempts to win control of DaimlerChrysler, an iconic American company. The United States has recently shown protectionist proclivities, citing national security concerns to quash both a Chinese state-owned oil company's bid for Unocal Ltd. and a planned acquisition of U.S. port service contracts by Dubai Ports World.

According to the central bank, Prokhorov owns 27.74% in IFC Bank through Cyprus-based Onexim Holdings Ltd.

Central bank orders Asian-Pacific Bank to change owners, up capital On March 23, 2018 it was announced that the central bank asked Asian-Pacific Bank, Russia’s 60th largest bank by assets as of February 1, to change shareholders, the largest of which is former owner of retailer Azbuka Vkusa Andrei Vdovin, and to raise its shareholder equity before April. Previously, the central bank allowed Asian-Pacific Bank to delay provision of reserves against a loan provided to defunct subsidiary M2M Private Bank to the beginning of 2018, but the bank created reserves only against 80% of the loan. Asian- Pacific Bank asked for more time, and the regulator set the deadline for March 31. The reserves will also force the bank to raise capital in line with the central bank’s orders. After the failure of M2M Private Bank, the regulator ordered owners of Asian-Pacific Bank to cut their stakes in the bank to no more than 10%. Previously, Vdovin, Alexei Maslovsky, and Peter Hambro owned 22.5% in the bank each, but in December 2017 they cut their stakes to a combined stake of 8.24% controlled through company PPFIN Region, while British Virgin Islands registered company Shelmer Holding Ltd acquired 31.8% in the bank.

  • Response to the UK Coal Phase out Consultation from Ecodefense
    Response to the UK Coal Phase out Consultation from Ecodefense 1 Introduction News that the UK is considering phasing out its coal power stations has been welcomed in Russia by Ecodefense. The UK is the second biggest consumer of Russian coal and so the impacts of the UK's use of coal on parts of our country are significant. Ecodefense is a Russian non-governmental organisation working against unsustainable energy and to promote a greener future within Russia. The consultation document does not mention the impacts of coal mining, and so we wanted to detail the real situation, on the ground, which is caused by the UK's consumption of our coal. 16% of the coal from Russia goes to the UK's power stations, this amount is second only to China's proportion of our exports. The mines producing this coal are currently expanding over the territories of indigenous people and health impacts of the dust affect all people living in the coal producing regions. Our main criticism of the coal phase out proposals, is that the time frame is simply too long. If you live in an area threatened by open pit coal mining then a decrease in extraction of coal can never come too soon, it could save your health, home and entire community. At present Russia is stockpiling coal. This means that were the UK to stop buying coal there is not another country waiting to buy it. This proposal could result in a dramatic reduction of coal production in Russia. Our submission includes information which relates solely to the links between the Russian coal mining industry and the UK coal burning one.

  • Ingushetia: Building Identity, Overcoming Conflict
    INGUSHETIA: BUILDING IDENTITY, OVERCOMING CONFLICT Anna Matveeva and Igor Savin Introduction The Republic of Ingushetia is the smallest in terms of territory of Russia’s republics, and numbers 412,997 inhabitants. 1 It was established on 4 June 1992 as a result of the separation from the dual-nationality Checheno-Ingushetia. A large part of the republic is taken by high mountains, the highest peak is 4451m, and the remaining part has a high population density. Birth rates are high and having six or seven children is common in rural areas. All Ingushetia’s leaders came from a security background. General Ruslan Aushev became the first president, but in 2001 was removed by Moscow and replaced with Murat Zyazikov, who was elected to the presidency in controversial circumstances in May 2002. In October 2008 Zyazikov was dismissed. General Yunus-Bek Yevkurov was nominated by President Medvedev and approved as president by the People’s Assembly of Ingushetia. Ethnic Ingush oligarch in Moscow Mikhail Gutseriyev, co- owner of Russneft, and his relatives are among the richest people in Russia. There is no major industry or budget revenue source in the republic, and it is subsidised by the federal centre. Local opinions perceive the republic’s facilities and infrastructure as backward, although field observation did not confirm this. Roads and public buildings have been constructed, communication systems work and housing is of good standard. Consumer goods are on sale and people appear able to buy them. However, there are fewer municipal buildings, such as social clubs and libraries, and overwhelming dissatisfaction with medical facilities.

  • Russian Advocacy Coalitions
    Russian Advocacy Coalitions A study in Power Resources This study examines the advocacy coalitions in Russia. Using the Advocacy Coalition Framework, it looks at the power resource distribution amongst the coalitions, and how this distribution affects Russian foreign policy. The power resources examined are: Formal Legal Authority; Public Opinion; Information; Mobilizable Troops; and Financial Resources. In addition to this, the study used quantitative and qualitative methods to identify these resources. There are a couple of conclusions we may draw from this study. The method is useful in identifying power resources. It is not enough to use only the distribution of resources amongst coalitions in order to explain policy changes. It is found that the distribution of resources, coupled with coalition interaction, is enough to explain changes in Russian foreign policy.

Media-Saturn-Holding (MediaMarktSaturn), controlled by German retailer Ceconomy, said on June 20 it agreed to acquire a 15% stake in M.Video from Safmar of businessman Mikhail Gutseriyev and transfer its Russian business, Media Markt stores, to Safmar. The value of the deal is estimated at EUR 258 mln. As a result of the deal, Safmar’s stake in M.Video fell to 42.7%. Safmar does not plan a further expansion in the retail sector and is not considering any additional acquisitions. The group does not expect any problems with the Federal Antimonopoly Service over M.Video’s acquisition of the Media Markt chain, as believes that the purchase will not significantly raise its market share. He also said that M.Video could resume paying dividends after 2019. In late May, M.Video’s board of directors recommended paying no dividends for 2017. The planned increase of value-added tax (VAT) to 20% from 18% will not significantly impact prices for household appliances and electronics. MGTS holders elect new board of directors, now only MTS executives On June 22, 2018 shareholders of Moscow City Telephone Company (MGTS), a fixed line unit of mobile operator MTS, elected at an annual general meeting a new board of directors, which now comprises only MTS representatives.

  • Russian Energy Policy Toward Neighboring Countries
    Order Code RL34261 Russian Energy Policy Toward Neighboring Countries Updated March 27, 2008 Steven Woehrel Specialist in European Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Russian Energy Policy Toward Neighboring Countries Summary Russian oil and natural gas industries are increasingly important players in the global energy market, particularly in Europe and Eurasia. Another trend has been the increasing concentration of these industries in the hands of the Russian government. This latter phenomenon has been accompanied by an increasingly authoritarian political system, in which former intelligence officers play key roles. Russian firms have tried to purchase a controlling stake in pipelines, ports, storage facilities, and other key energy assets of the countries of central and eastern Europe. They need these assets to transport energy supplies to lucrative western European markets, as well as to secure greater control over the domestic markets of the countries of the region. In several cases where assets were sold to non-Russian firms, Russian firms cut off energy supplies to the facilities. Russia has also tried to build new pipelines to circumvent infrastructure that it does not control. Another objective Russia has pursued has been to eliminate the energy subsidies former Soviet republics have received since the fall of the Soviet Union, including by raising the price these countries pay for natural gas to world market prices. It is not completely clear whether the pursuit of Russian foreign policy objectives is the primary explanation for the actions of its energy firms. Few would disagree in principle that the elimination of subsidies to post-Soviet countries is a sound business decision, even if questions have been raised about the timing of such moves.
