"Gray Cardinal" of All Russia Igor Sechin, who heads "Rosneft", receives per hour more than a well-deserved teacher or doctor of the highest category for a month of hard work, but his appetites are growing every year and begin to threaten national security (read: current power) . In 2015, Sechin's income, according to Rosneft, amounted to about 600 million rubles, and in May 2017, the media reported that Rosneft's Board had increased premium payments 6 times against the background of the company's profit of 5 times - in The result of 11 people entering the board of the company received a total remuneration of 2 billion rubles (against 337 million rubles a year ago). Sechin is known for his merciless and impunity regarding any of its actions, as well as, in the opinion of a number of entrepreneurs, participation in the raider seizures of someone else's property.

According to the newspaper "Vedomosti" and magazine Forbes., C 2009, he is the second on the influence of a person in Russia after Vladimir Putin. And in the last two years, it is increasingly heard: Putin said one thing, and Sechin did something differently. Putin said "Reduced prey", Sechin said "We will not cut anything." Putin said "not allow the state-owned company to privatize Bashneft", and Sechin somehow took and bought "Bashneft" in one day. And the strengthening of its power occurred in the last 3 years, just when the first information appeared that Putin Sechin was dissatisfied.

In November 2016, the operating minister of the Russian Federation Alexei Ulyukayeva was detained in the office of Rosneft (and it was the first case of the arrest of the current Minister of our country since the time of detention of Beria in 1953), which arrived there at the personal invitation of Sechin. As the media reported: "Together with people, Schina Ulyukayev was held in the office, where two suitcases with money were prepared specifically for him. One he took himself, and the second could not, because he held his portfolio in his other hand. Help him volunteered a company security officer. Going to the exit, Ulyukaev put a suitcase into a service car, and at that moment was detained by the FSB officers. " Ultimately, Ulyukayev was charged with extortion of a bribe of $ 2 million from a representative of Rosneft.

One of the victims of the appetites of the Russian oligarch №1 was both the "AFK System" of Vladimir Evtushenkova, which owns MTS, the children's world, Medsi, asset in the defense and microelectronics, and earlier and the Bashneft itself. In 2014, Evtushenkova was even arrested, but in view of the mass protest and misunderstanding of representatives of large business, he was released. According to the Business FM radio station, at that time, the versions about the conflict between the Evtushenko and the head of Rosneft, Igor Sechin, who allegedly claimed the absorption of Bashneft or the entry into the company's capital was expressed.

The lawsuit between Sistema and Rosneft, and Rosneft, and, as reported in June, Sistema's shareholders lost more than 150 billion rubles due to the claim of Rosneft. On July 19, the next meeting of the court was held in Ufa, adopting many observers. Observers have already dubbed the Ufa meetings of "medieval", and AFK "Sistema" even complained to the Kremlin on the actions of the judge. The case is that representatives of the company provided the court of evidence of their innocence (although, in theory, on the contrary, the nasty side should prove their guilt), but no one even read them, apparently, fearing the anger of Mighty Igor Ivanovich.

Magazine Forbes.who interviewed different independent experts on this case, wrote that "Rosneft" was often described in the terminology of the military camp, each employee of which is a soldier bought a tough discipline and hierarchy. Igor Sechin, who, by rumors, begins his working day in 5 in the morning, keeps all this mechanism on full manual control.

The main number of respondents evaluated the conflict with the "system" from the conceptual position: the presence of legal arguments in this conflict respondents were questioned. The "System" had an asset that the former owner managed from his ideas about efficiency: something reorganized, sold, concluded contracts. But the growth of production by 46% and capitalization was 8 times not convinced by neither Schina nor the court that AFC is able to manage assets. Given that Rosneft suffers from chronic inefficiency and the entire growth of its indicators is due to exclusively raids on competitors, misunderstanding explanation. How to know what to create costs.

Representatives of AFC "Sistema" provided a dossier to the experts who prepared a conclusion from Rosneft. From this dossier it follows that they did not have in principle any research competence to address issues set in favor of Rosneft. However, the court left it without attention and refused to conduct an independent examination. And solved from Rosneft and not at all in court that no special knowledge for understanding the situation is not required (how is it familiar, right?).

Currently, the consideration of the claim "Rosneft" to AFC Sistema postponed until August 8, and for the remaining days of everyone who does not want to be the next victim of Rosneft have time to comprehend the situation and somehow publicly declare their position. Otherwise, tomorrow Sechin will already come for your business, and you will also be protected too.

The head of Rosneft Igor Sechin began to face lately all with a large number of troubles, to which he still was not used to. This is also visible by numerous news, and the same in conversation with Nt. They state officials. Sechin himself provoked attacks on himself, notes a high-ranking interlocutor. According to him, the head of state-owned chose a very aggressive style of behavior and eventually began to face active counteraction, including from the influential forces.

Prosecutor's office and court

This week happened without exaggeration an unprecedented event. The court decided to call Sechin on the process in the case of the Ex-Minister of Economic Development Alexei Ulyukayev. And the prosecutor's office came out about this, and not the defense side.

About Sechin, who is the main witness of the events incriminated by Ulyukayev, the prosecutor remembered as if suddenly at the 15th anniversary of the court session. After the presentation of material evidence and expressed by the lawyer on their question, the prosecutor asked the judge if the subchinet's agenda was sent. When the judge gave a negative answer, the prosecutor asked to send the Rosneft agenda to the head of Rosneft, and this petition was immediately satisfied. Legal reasons to abandon the invitation from Sechina.

Until now, Schina officials have been extremely rare in courts, if someone can generally be found in the level of the head of Rosneft. In 2010, according to the second case of Yukos, the Minister of Industry Viktor Khristenko and the head of Sberbank Herman Gref were given, and in 2009, the head of SK Alexander Bastrykin came to the process of bribing his former subordinate. Finally, in 2006, Alexey Kudrin came to the process in the case of the former employee of the Ministry of Finance. All other attempts to bring to the court of high officials ended in failure. In particular, the court refused to lawyers from Mikhail Khodorkovsky in a call to the process of Sechin, who was also considered an interesting business.

It is important that the challenge to the court was not the first trouble for Sechin by the prosecutor's office. In early September, the prosecutor publicly read Dialogue Sechin and Ulyukeeva a day when the ex-minister, according to the investigation, took a bribe. At the same time, the prosecutor allocated information that Sechin gave Ulyukaev a certain "basket" in which, as it turned out later, a sausage was.

Sechina eventually had to be explained with the Prosecutor General Yury Seagull. The interlocutor does not reveal the details of the conversation, but claims that she passed on the phone, Sechin called himself

Judging by the Public Reaction Sechin, he came to rage from such a development of events. "This is professional cretinism. There are things that should be closed on all sides and from all points of view. Even thoughts should not arise what can be promulgated! There are information containing Gostain, "he said" Kommersant ", commenting on the actions of the prosecutor's office.

According to an informed interlocutor Nt., Sechina eventually had to be explained with the Prosecutor General Yuri Seull. The interlocutor does not reveal the details of the conversation, but claims that she passed on the phone (Sechin called himself) and the seagull was satisfied with the conversation.

Surprise from Sberbank

In the middle of October, analysts of Sberbank's investment requisition sent clients, mostly English-speaking, the report, one of whose heads was devoted to the prospects for the development of Rosneft business. The report did not immediately fall into the field of view of the media, but as soon as it happened, the scandal broke out. The report and in meaning and the formulations looked like a frank call.

As in the case of the reaction to the events around the process over Ulyukaev, the emotions did not hide in Rosneft. "There is a feeling that the people who made up people are on the verge of pathology"

The meaningful part is a little better. In particular, it is said about the disappointment of experts from the company's activities: it was expected that it would decline in debt, and instead she sent $ 22 billion to acquire "without clear focus." In general, the authors clearly rarely assessed the potential of the company, including stated that after 2019, the organic growth of Rosneft will wish to wish the best.

As in the case of the reaction to the events around the process over Ulyukaev, the emotions did not hide in Rosneft. "There is a feeling that the people who made up people are on the verge of pathology," the report of Mikhail Leontyev's press secretary commented on journalists.

As a result, Sberbank had to release a new report and recognize that the old one came out with violations. The most offensive wording was seized from the new document, but the general meaning remained the same. For example, the phrase "the problem is that organic growth will be too slow to satisfy the ambitions of the general director" - they replaced the "the problem is that organic growth will be too slow to satisfy the company's ambitions."

Zagred and Surkov

He fell into the center of attention of Sechin and in connection with new exposures. In early November, the results of the investigation of the international consortium of investigative journalists (ICIJ) and the Center for Research Corruption and Organized Crime (OCCRP) on the results of information leakage from the offshore registrar Appleby located on the Bermuda Islands were published. Concerning seching data became the basis for the request of "Transparency International - Russia" in the Prosecutor General's Office.

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has long been familiar with the version of Schin's involvement in the transfer of information for the film Navalny "He's not Dimon"

According to journalists, the former spouse Sechina Marina received a share in several Russian companies, and in 2012, on her name on the Cayman Islands, S Holdings Ltd. The company was needed for the implementation of the development projects of a foreign entrepreneur, Sechina was to become an investor who could invest tens of millions of euros, in a chain of offshore firms to implement projects in Russia. The bewilderment of "Transparency" caused the origin of funds to which Schina could have done. In 2011, she, judging by the declaration of her spouse, did not have income at all.

Another scandal at the beginning of November initiated living abroad Ex-deputy State Duma Ilya Ponomarev. On the air "Echo of Moscow", he said that the information for the compromising premiere of Dmitry Medvedev film "He is not Dimon" his author, Alexey Navalne, gave the people of Sechin. The former head of the Security Service Rosneft, Oleg Feoktistov, was conveyed to the information of Rosneft Security Service, argued by the ex-deputy. Feoktists from Rosneft later left, returned to the FSB, however, he was dismissed from there. According to Ponomarev, it also happened due to data transfer in bulk.

It is important that Ponomarev is not only a runaway opposition. He is considered close to the presidential assistant Vladislav Surkov. In the 1990s, both worked at Mikhail Khodorkovsky, and in the early 2010 Ponomarev was the adviser to the President of the Skolkovo Foundation, whose activities were supervised by Surkov in the Kremlin. When Ponomareva was kicked out of the State Duma, he publicly stated that the true purpose of the attack is not he, but Surkov.

Ponomareva in Russia is seriously not perceived. But in this case, its interpretation is shared in the government. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has long been familiar with the version of Schin's involvement in the transmission of information for the film Navalny about him, approves the interlocutor close to the Kremlin Nt.. Navalny information has repeatedly appeared in a public field before the appearance of the film "He is not Dimon", and the feeling that someone has been promoted is very influential, the source notes Nt.. He also considers it likely that people close to Sechin did.

Medvedev and Putin

The old struggle between Medvedev and Sechin again aggravated, the interlocutor agrees in the Kremlin. Since the government headed Medvedev, a lot of differences arose at the Cabinet of Ministers and Rosneft. Government and Sechin have been tightened by each other with each other authority to lead the oil and gas industry. Its official curator is close to Medvedev's profile deputy prime minister Arkady Dvorkovich, but it was Sechin's responsible secretary of the Presidential Commission on the Development Strategy. The opposing parties treated in different ways to the question of the privatization of Bashneft (Alexey Ulyukayev was publicly against the state-owned plans), and to how to sell Rosneft shares.

It is believed that in the end, Medevevdev decided to repulse, approves another source close to the presidential administration. According to his version, it was the premier that the process of over Ulyukaev was public and was going through that Sechin remained only to snap into the prosecutor's office. Initially it was planned that the process would pass in closed mode.

President Vladimir Putin also, without approving overly the aggressive style of Sechin, actually stood on the side of his opponents. It was Putin that agreed with the arguments of the government and gave the sanction to the open process over Ulyukayev, a person from the near-minded environment of the head of state recognizes.

It was the prime minister that the process over Ulyukaev turned out to be public and passed so that Sechin remained only to argue into the prosecutor's office. It was originally planned that the process would pass in closed mode.

Earlier, Putin has already hesitated sechin. So, during the conflict between Rosneft and AFC Sistema, he told reporters that met with both parties to the conflict and expects them to conclude a settlement agreement.

In general, everyone is now waiting for how to end for seching his numerous conflicts, says a person close to the presidential administration. Medvedev will certainly seek the weakening of the position of the opponent, and Putin's response to it is difficult to predict. In the end, there is an interlocutor if a person annoys such a large number of people, one day everyone teams against one.

Meanwhile, behind the wall, where music and the noise of conversations, carefully selected top managers representing the global oil industry, are waiting for Schina at the annual party to the company in St. Petersburg.

A significant part of the Career Sechin is ascent to the top of the Russian political system (often as an assistant Vladimir Putin), and it has no geological or engineering education, but it demonstrates the impressive knowledge of technical subtleties, understanding the mechanisms and economics of mining of shale oil in the US, which often It is not enough to colleagues - specialists in the extraction of crude oil.

Although the financial crisis was the direct consequence of sanctions, which forced Rosneft already in 2014 to ask for assistance from the state, the company's indicators have been sent to those who claimed that Russian oil and gas producers are inhabited without foreign support. Between 2013 and 2016 Rosneft production increased by 10%. According to her, no other public oil company is able to extract barrel oil cheaper than Rosneft. Sechin - a workaholic, standing at 5 am and involved in all areas of the company's activities, connects its sustainability with a team that "distinguishes high professionalism, decency and corporate patriotism."

"We work diligently," he says. - We constantly tell us that private companies work more efficiently. I absolutely disagree with it. " According to Sechina, Rosneft demonstrates the ability to compete with any player of the market.

Sanctions do not hold back the long-term ambitions sechin turn "Rosneft" in a large global manufacturer. In the near future, he is going to close the transaction, which will give control over Essar Oil, Indian mining and processing company. Rosneft also owns shares in a large oil project in Venezuela, builds processing facilities in Indonesia and develops five oil fields in Kurdistan - this is part of a series of transactions of this year, designed to increase the presence in the Middle Eastern market.

FT: Sechin about the convention of oil producers

Rosneft reported that he would increase production in the event of a sudden termination of the agreement between the main producers of crude oil to reduce production in order to support oil prices. Against the background of debate, the effectiveness of the agreement concluded under the leadership of OPEC, Rosneft is not attentive to decay, closely monitors the volume of shale oil production in the United States, told Sechin in one of his rare interviews. And it assured that the company is ready for unexpected actions of OPEC: "If something goes wrong, we will not let them take our markets. We will defend yourself. " He said ft that the company manages risks, should take into account each trend, anyone that may affect the company's performance, and noted that at this stage, high-quality monitoring is extremely important.
In the past December, Moscow agreed to support the initiative of OPEC and not included in the Cartell of countries to reduce production together by 1.8 million barrels a day to reduce world stocks and help support oil prices that have fallen twice since 2014.
Waying to support from Saudi Arabia and Russia, the two largest oil exporters in the world, the agreement was extended in May for nine months. It helped stabilize prices at $ 50-55 per barrel, which, in turn, revived business for the extraction of shale oil in the United States, which turned out to be more sustainable than expected.
Considering at the moment an agreement and its influence on the oil market "Positive", Sechin warns that the continued growth in the United States will lead to disputes of its validity and efficiency. He notes that all participants in the process have its own interests. And now interests [Russia,] Saudi Arabia and the American shale industry coincide, added 56-year-old former deputy prime minister. However, he believes that after some time these interests will disperse, and promises to respond to it.
The previously inconspicuous oil alliance between Er-Riyadh and Moscow led to the flourishing of relations between the SAUDI ARAMCO oil monopoly controlled by the Kingdom and Russian manufacturers.
Sechin, who last month was visited by Er-Riyadh and received Chairman of the Board of Directors of Saudi Aramco Khalida Al-Faliha in Moscow, said that the IPO expected next year will lead to the "capabilities of better cooperation." He also suggested that an IPO, which could lead to sale in the market 5% of the company, was "one of the reasons" to coordinate actions on the market: "They are preparing for an IPO. But they need certain prerequisites to make the final decision. There must be a good external market, good prices, adequate to the goals they set in front of them. "

Every successful deal is a masterpiece and requires effort, argues Sechin on the acquisition of ESSAR. On our doubts whether the company burdened with debts to withstand comparison with Michelangelo, objects that "it looks more like Henri Matisse."

The transaction performed in conjunction with the commodity trader increases the annual processing capacity of Rosneft by 20 million tons to 120 million tons, and also gives control over the deep-sea port in the Indian Ocean near the Persian Gulf and the national network of 2700 gas stations.

Sechin notes that the dynamics of the Indian market is now very positive - "and it is still gently said." He likes the Essar project, in which there was a challenge, but this, he said, "Pearl, Gem" among Rosneft projects.

And although the sanctions may mean that Sechina, Rosneft and Russia is now intense relations with American power infantry, the former deputy officer of Putin administration, the person volitional and decisive, seeks to create a large coalition between oil superpower - Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United States.

Reflecting on the [initial] Pockery of Donald Trump on the development of relations with Russia, which he coming to the White House, changed to a more hawk, Sechin hopes that the influence of Tillerson Rex, former CEO Exxonmobil, who became the US Secretary of State, can contribute to the offensive. "Our respected Rex Tillerson, our former colleague, is well aware of the synergies that arises in our joint projects," he says. Between them there were strong relations between them, when they acted as partners in multi-billion dollar projects in Russia, and Sechin sees opportunities for even more large-scale cooperation.

"There are three regulators in the modern world. The first is the American oil market, which produces 9.3 million barrels per day. Then - Saudi Arabia. And then - Russia, "he says. - So the coordination of the actions of these three leaders will definitely be useful for the market, for companies, for shareholders - for all. "

Igor Sechin gave an interview ft in Russian, translated from English Anton Osipov

The decision of the Basmanny District Court of October 10, 2016 is recognized as inappropriate reality and the mercy of the honor and dignity of Igor Ivanovich Sechina, and therefore, the information expressed in the hidden statements that the head of Rosneft, Igor Sechin, is associated with one of the most luxurious yachts in the world - with a yacht "Princess Olga"; Yacht "St. Princess Olga "is the property of Igor Sechin and / or his wife; Igor Sechin hides information about his foreign property; Igor Sechin expenses significantly exceed its official income and official income of his family members.

Secret "Princess Olga"

As the leader of Rosneft, Igor Sechin is connected with one of the most luxurious yachts in the world?

Until today, the name of the owner of the chic megayachta St. Princess Olga was kept in strict secrecy. However, "New Gazeta" found photos from the yacht on social networks, published by the wife of one of the most influential people of Russia - Igor Sechin. Details on these photos are largely reminded by the details of St. Princess Olga. Moreover, the places in the photo coincide with the yacht route.

In 2013, the Oceanco shipbuilding company from the Netherlands lowered a luxurious and elegant yacht with a size of almost a football field (85.6 meters). The hull of the vessel is made of steel, and the supervised structures are from aluminum. The appearance of the yacht was developed by Russian designer Igor Lobanov, and an elite designer from Italy Alberto Pinto worked on the interiors. On the stern of the yacht, a pool is arranged, which, if necessary, turns into a helicopter platform, on the upper deck - a jacuzzi, surrounded by soft white sofas for rest; Inside the vessel is a room for SPA and an elevator. After the yacht's descent, the yacht received the code name Y708. But after she was transferred to the owner, the name was changed to St. Princess Olga ("Holy Princess Olga"). Today St. Princess Olga takes the 72nd place in the ranking of the 100 largest yachts in the world. But experts in the world of luxury yachts believe that its main dignity is not the size, but uniqueness.

"Private party"

Igor Sechin divorced his first wife a few years ago. In June 2016, Life.ru published a video with one of the closed parties of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. Guests at the Museum-Reserve "Pavlovsk" accepted Igor Sechin. The head of the state company Rosneft accompanied a beautiful girl with blond hair. "New Gazeta" found profiles of this girl in social networks Facebook and Instagram. She was Olga Rozhkov, who, according to sources close to Rosneft, previously worked in the government's office, when Igor Sechin was a deputy prime minister. We also managed to get a documentary confirmation that Olga Rozhkova in 2011 changed the name to Sechin, however, in order not to violate the law "On Personal Data", we cannot publish the document.

Olga Sechina works in the State Gazprombank. The source of the New Gazette in the bank says that its annual salary can be approximately 35 million rubles. Judging by the photographs on social networks, it is spent most of the time abroad. In her account in Instagram, many photos from private jets, but even more - from the yacht off the coast of the fashionable resorts of Sardinia and Corsica.

External similarities

However, external similarities are not the only testimonies that indicate that Olga Sechin enjoys the yacht St. Princess Olga. "New Gazeta" pro-analyzed Geothey with sentine photographs, as well as yacht routes, and it turned out that in many cases they coincide.

Crossing routes

On July 13, 2016, Olga Sechina published a photograph with a motorboat with Geotheg "Ibiza, Spain" ( Photo 7.). Three days before that, the Facebook company Superior Design published photos of the Yacht St. Princess Olga from Port Adriano, that on the Balearic Islands, next to Ibiza ( Photo 8.). July 14, 2016, the day after the publication of seching photos from Ibiza, the user Instagram @carolfeith, who rode in the area of \u200b\u200bthe same Balearic islands on the engine boat, laid out video Yachts St. Princess Olga ( Photo 9.).

We all managed to find six unconditional coincidences on the time of publication and geomethegers photos from social networks Naviga Igor Sechin with the yacht route. And these coincidences took place not in one year, but continuously over the past three years. Moreover, we took into account only those cases when everything coincided - and time and place. But there were examples when Geoteg coincided with the photo and the location of the boat, and the time differed for several days or a week. This may be due to the fact that Olga Sechin published photos on social networks not immediately, but later.

How much does it cost

"New Gazeta" interviewed several experts in the world of luxurious yachts, and they all said that the exact price of St. Princess Olga does not know no one except the manufacturer and customer. Prices for Megayachts depend on the details of the interior and many other factors. But everyone agreed that St. Princess Olga is not less than $ 100 million. On the websites of companies that sell and rent luxury yachts, there are proposals for similar vessels of the same class, the same year of production and similar characteristics. The price of such yachts varies in the area of \u200b\u200b150-180 million dollars.

Last year, the BBC Agency with reference to the decision of the Board of Directors of Rosneft reported that the salary of Igor Sechin with bonuses could be approximately $ 12 million a year. If these estimates are true, then the leader of Rosneft could hardly afford to buy such a yacht.

Theoretically, Igor Sechin could rent a yacht for his wife. But even when it is officially high earnings, rent St. Princess Olga would greatly hit the family budget. Offers for weekly rental yachts like St. Princess Olga, starts from 1 million dollars. And, judging by the photos, Olga Sechin over the past three years spent a lot of time on the yacht.

The press service of Rosneft for the "New Gazeta" questions did not even respond. "The company does not consider it possible to answer questions regarding the personal life and property of employees, beyond the requirements of legislation, and cannot afford the creation of unacceptable precedents. At the same time, the illegal collection and the use of unverified and unreliable information can entail the responsibility provided for by law. Sorry that the content of your requests for the last month falls into the context of the apparent customer campaign, unleashed against Rosneft and its leader, "the company says.
