  • "Waves" of the Russia's Presidential Reforms Break About Premier's "Energy-Rocks"
    AFRICA REVIEW EURASIA REVIEW "Waves" of the Russia's Presidential Reforms Break About Premier's "Energy-Rocks" By Dr. Zurab Garakanidze* Story about the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s initiative to change the make-up of the boards of state-owned firms, especially energy companies. In late March of this year, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev demanded that high-ranking officials – namely, deputy prime ministers and cabinet-level ministers that co-ordinate state policy in the same sectors in which those companies are active – step down from their seats on the boards of state-run energy companies by July 1. He also said that October 1 would be the deadline for replacing these civil servants with independent directors. The deadline has now passed, but Medvedev‟s bid to diminish the government‟s influence in the energy sector has run into roadblocks. Most of the high-level government officials who have stepped down are being replaced not by independent managers, but by directors from other state companies in the same sector. Russia‟s state-owned oil and gas companies have not been quick to replace directors who also hold high-ranking government posts, despite or- ders from President Dmitry Medvedev. High-ranking Russian officials have made a show of following President Medvedev‟s order to leave the boards of state-run energy companies, but government influence over the sector remains strong. This indicates that the political will needed for the presidential administration to push eco- nomic reforms forward may be inadequate. 41 www.cesran.org/politicalreflection Political Reflection | September-October-November 2011 Russia's Presidential Reforms | By Dr.

  • Geopolitical Impact on Transformation of Territorial Organization of Russian Pipeline Transport in the Post-Soviet Time
    International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy ISSN: 2146-4553 available at http: www.econjournals.com International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy, 2016, 6(4), 782-788. Geopolitical Impact on Transformation of Territorial Organization of Russian Pipeline Transport in the Post-Soviet Time Tatyana I. Pototskaya1*, Alexander P. Katrovskiy2, Vladimir I. Chasovskiy3 1Department of Geography, Natural-Geographical Faculty, Smolensk State University, Smolensk Oblast, Russia, 2Department of Service and Tourism, Smolensk Humanitarian University, Smolensk, Russia, 3Department of Geography, Land Use and Spatial Planning, Institute of Environmental Management, Territorial Development and Urban Construction, Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Russia. *Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The article presents the research on transformation of territorial organization of Russian pipeline transport in the post-Soviet time, considering its relations with neighbouring countries. The research identifies general ways of such transformation: The influence of Russia’s desire to escape from the dictate of the transit countries exporting energy; the impact of Russia’s struggle for the transportation of gas and oil extracted in the Caspian Sea basin; the influence of the struggle for the transportation of oil and gas in the Asia-Pacific region. A new database including the main pipelines and sea ports in Russia, revealed correlations in the development of pipeline transport in the post-Soviet period with the development of infrastructure of the country’s sea transport. The article identifies positive changes in the transport infrastructure (construction of Russian alternative pipeline projects), which will reduce the degree of Russian dependence on relations with neighbouring countries, as well as negative changes (construction of alternative Russian pipeline projects).

  • Position and Recommendations of the Board of Directors of PJSC “LUKOIL” on Items on the Agenda of the Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting of PJSC “LUKOIL”
    Position and recommendations of the Board of Directors of PJSC “LUKOIL” on items on the agenda of the Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting of PJSC “LUKOIL” On item 1 on the agenda of the Meeting: ‘On payment (declaration) of dividends based on the results of the first nine months of 2017’ Position: The current legislation provides for payment of dividends to shareholders of PJSC “LUKOIL” more than once a year. According to the Regulations on the Dividend Policy of PJSC “LUKOIL” (the Regulations), to ensure steady dividend payouts, the Company seeks to pay dividends to its shareholders at least twice a year: based on its results for the first nine months of the reporting year (the “Interim Dividends”), and based on the reporting year results (the “Final Dividends”). The Company’s interim dividend payment practice contributes to increase market value of its securities and attract strategic investors. Under the Regulations, the Company seeks to ensure that the amount of the Interim Dividends is at least 50% of the amount of the Final Dividends paid for the preceding reporting year1. The Board of Directors believes that the recommended interim dividend payment based on the Company’s results for the first nine months of 2017 in the amount of 85 roubles per ordinary share appears optimal, as it: • Complies with all the interim dividend calculation guidelines stipulated by the Regulations; • Reflects the Company’s financial performance in the reporting period and is economically relevant; • Will be welcomed by the investment community; • Allows the Company to maintain an optimum balance of its investment requirements and the competitive level of dividend payments; • Increases steadiness of dividend distribution.
