About this ebook
Some of the richest and most powerful men in all of Russia make up Vladimir Putin's support staff and right-hand men. Igor Sechin is frequently referred to as one of President Vladimir Putin's closest pals, although he is also occasionally called a pain in Putin's side. Whatever his relationship with the president may be, almost all concur that he is one of the most ambitious and powerful figures in Russian politics, especially when it comes to overseeing significant economic transactions involving state funds and state businesses. Sechin served as Putin's deputy chief of staff and was dubbed the grey cardinal of Russian politics by local media while Putin was in charge of the Kremlin from 2000 to 2008. Sechin was appointed head of Prime Minister Putin's secretariat in August 1999. Igor Ivanovich was chosen to serve on Rosneft's newly reconstituted board of directors, and he was appointed chairman. Businessmen, diplomats, and government officials see Sechin as the unofficial leader of a group of siloviki, or powerful men with a history in the armed forces or security services, who are wary of the West and favour a strong state role in the Russian economy.
Read the life story of one of Russia's most successful individuals, the grey cardinal. As can be seen, a lengthy and extremely exciting career, spanning the African wars to the highest levels of government, lies behind the true success and impact. Being born into a wealthy, well-known family is not at all necessary in order to succeed and influence others.
