  • US Sanctions on Russia
    U.S. Sanctions on Russia Updated January 17, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45415 SUMMARY R45415 U.S. Sanctions on Russia January 17, 2020 Sanctions are a central element of U.S. policy to counter and deter malign Russian behavior. The United States has imposed sanctions on Russia mainly in response to Russia’s 2014 invasion of Cory Welt, Coordinator Ukraine, to reverse and deter further Russian aggression in Ukraine, and to deter Russian Specialist in European aggression against other countries. The United States also has imposed sanctions on Russia in Affairs response to (and to deter) election interference and other malicious cyber-enabled activities, human rights abuses, the use of a chemical weapon, weapons proliferation, illicit trade with North Korea, and support to Syria and Venezuela. Most Members of Congress support a robust Kristin Archick Specialist in European use of sanctions amid concerns about Russia’s international behavior and geostrategic intentions. Affairs Sanctions related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are based mainly on four executive orders (EOs) that President Obama issued in 2014. That year, Congress also passed and President Rebecca M. Nelson Obama signed into law two acts establishing sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Specialist in International Ukraine: the Support for the Sovereignty, Integrity, Democracy, and Economic Stability of Trade and Finance Ukraine Act of 2014 (SSIDES; P.L. 113-95/H.R. 4152) and the Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014 (UFSA; P.L. 113-272/H.R. 5859).

    Russian Political, Economic, and Security Issues and U.S. Interests Jim Nichol, Coordinator Specialist in Russian and Eurasian Affairs November 4, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33407 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Russian Political, Economic, and Security Issues and U.S. Interests Summary Russia made some uneven progress in democratization during the 1990s, but according to most observers, this limited progress was reversed after Vladimir Putin rose to power in 1999-2000. During this period, the State Duma (lower legislative chamber) came to be dominated by government-approved parties and opposition democratic parties were excluded. Putin also abolished gubernatorial elections and established government ownership or control over major media and industries, including the energy sector. The methods used by the Putin government to suppress insurgency in the North Caucasus demonstrated a low regard for the rule of law and scant regard for human rights, according to critics. Dmitriy Medvedev, Vladimir Putin’s chosen successor and long-time protégé, was elected president in March 2008 and immediately chose Putin as prime minister. President Medvedev has continued policies established during the Putin presidency. In August 2008, the Medvedev-Putin “tandem” directed wide-scale military operations against Georgia and unilaterally recognized the independence of Georgia’s separatist South Ossetia and Abkhazia, actions that were censured by most of the international community but which resulted in few, minor, and only temporary international sanctions against Russia. Russia’s economy began to recover from the Soviet collapse in 1999, led mainly by oil and gas exports, but the sharp decline in oil and gas prices in mid-2008 and other aspects of the global economic downturn put a halt to this growth.

Introduction In this survey we describe the current state of corporate governance in Russia and discuss its dynamics and prospects. Corporate governance has become an important topic in Russia once again, and there is a clear trend among the largest Russian companies to adhere to good corporate governance standards by increasing disclosure, complying with international accounting standards, placing “independent directors” on boards, and adopting corporate governance codes, for example. There have also been initiatives to improve corporate governance from the government, regulators and various private agencies. The government is adopting new laws and amendments to the existing laws.

    Emerging Markets: BP, AAR, and TNK-BP (also see Emerging Markets 7.1) ETHICAL DILEMMA TNK-BP is a joint venture (JV) company that is 50% owned by BP and 50% owned by the AAR consortium, which represents three major Russian business groups: Alfa, Access, and Renova. Founded in 2003, TNK-BP is a major oil company in its own right. It is Russia’s third largest oil producer and among the ten largest private oil companies in the world. Producing about 1.9 million barrels of oil per day, TNK-BP provides about 25% of BP’s oil production and 40% of its reserves. It pays about $2 billion dividends each year to BP. Such a cash cow with huge reserves would seem to be—in the words of Bloomberg Business- week—a “godsend.” Unfortunately, TNK-BP has turned out to be an unending saga of headaches, conflicts, and intrigue between BP and its three Russian oligarch part- ners: Mikhail Fridman (founder of Alfa Group and chair- man of the board of TNK-BP), Len Blavatnik (founder of Access Industries), and Viktor Vekselberg (founder of Renova Group). Two episodes stand out. Episode I In 2008, the Russian partners publicly aired two grie- vances. First, TNK-BP relied on too many BP’s expatriate (expat) consultants, whose fees were a “rip off”—extra dividends to BP but excessive costs to TNK-BP. Second, and more importantly, the Russians wanted TNK-BP to pursue opportunities outside of Russia and Ukraine, but BP insisted on fencing TNK-BP within Russia and Ukraine to prevent TNK-BP from becoming a global competitor.

  • U.S. Sanctions Against Russia Continue to Disrupt
    Debevoise Update D&P U.S. Sanctions Against Russia Continue to Disrupt April 30, 2018 On April 23, 2018, recognizing the continued market turmoil caused by recent U.S. sanctions against Russian “oligarchs” and their related companies, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) issued expanded relief from these sanctions. Despite these and earlier mitigating efforts by OFAC, both U.S. and non-U.S. persons continue to grapple with questions arising from OFAC’s recent expansion of sanctions. REMARKABLE IMPACT On April 6, 2018, OFAC announced new blocking sanctions “in response to [Russia’s] worldwide malign activity.”1 The sanctions apply to seven Russian “oligarchs” and twelve related companies, as well as several Russian government officials, a state-owned defense exporter and its subsidiary bank. The sanctions, as a result of their broad scope, their targets’ role in the world economy and their expansive implications for financial and commercial activities worldwide, have had a substantial impact. In previous rounds of sanctions against Russia, the United States took care to target globally significant companies only for limited restrictions on their access to U.S. equity and debt financing. These new sanctions marked a departure from this previous approach in several ways. First, as blocking sanctions, these measures are the harshest sanctions imposed under U.S. law. U.S. persons are prohibited from dealing with a designated person and must “block” (i.e., freeze) any property or interests in property of a designated person. Among other disruptions, this action immediately cut off the designated individuals and companies from access to U.S.

  • Seven Economic Challenges for Russia
    Seven economic challenges for Russia Breaking out of stagnation? IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service Author: Martin Russell Members' Research Service PE 625.138 – July 2018 EN This publication describes the current condition of the Russian economy, which has suffered recently from external shocks, such asa collapse in oil prices and Western sanctions. However, it argues that poor economic performance has more to do with long-term internal problems, including a lack of competitive markets, low levels of investment, an absence of innovation and excessive dependence on natural resources. Finally, it discusses President Putin's promises of economic reforms to tackle such issues, and evaluates the probability of major change.

If you don't believe that, ask the 20 people that we are about to feature. Although you probably won't be able top get an answer from them by email.... There now are over 1,600 billionaires globally and it comes as no surprise that a significant proportion are involved in oil, gas and its related industries. As we exit the economic downturn it is apparent some players in oil and gas have benefited more than most. The combined wealth of the top 20 individuals in this study is an astonishing $289.7 bn. For those keeping score, that is enough to buy you Chevron outright and still have a healthy $60 bn left over for fun. So what makes a savvy professional into a tycoon? As we are about to reveal, two key factors in the rise from business man to baron are a diversified portfolio and killer timing.
