The appointment of Alexei Miller to the post of Chairman of the Board of Gazprom was literally shocking for the company's management. The company's management found out about him 1 hour before the start of a meeting of the board of directors - during a conversation with the president in the Kremlin. At the meeting, it was about who would lead Gazprom in the next few years. It was there that Gazpromovites recognized the name of their new boss.
And after already half an hour, Rem Ivanovich had no choice but to support the candidacy of Alexei Miller. When in St. Petersburg, Miller was his direct subordinate - the head of the Department of Foreign Economic Relations. Almost all representatives of the Russian fuel elite unanimously called Miller the "person of Putin", which gave another reason to compare his purpose with Gryzlovsky.
However, Gazprom as a possible step in Miller’s career ladder was not heard until yesterday. At the same time, the appointment of a person from Gazprom by the Putin's logic of phased resignations in favor of, as they say, his people. Miller said that an increase in production is supposed to be achieved due to the development of deposits in the Arctic.

The second important question is how to accept Alexei Miller Gazprom, which has always been distinguished by a high degree of corporate content. This problem is also aggravated by the fact that many "independent" suppliers and consumers of Gazprom are actually standing for its own managers.
And in the event of their dismissal, they from the subordinates of Mr. Miller may suddenly turn out to be his inevitable partners. A source in the White House clarifies: the task of the new chapter of Gazprom - “To figure out whether there was a withdrawal of assets from Gazprom. According to him, "Miller will maintain continuity for some time, but in the future changes will follow the composition of the reign of the monopolist." Miller is a fairly famous person in St.
