The general public is used to hearing the name of Sergei Bogdanchikov in connection with the affairs of the Rosneft oil company. However, he has come a long way to her and continues to live after leaving the raw material enterprise. Today, journalists are most interested in Sergei Mikhailovich Bogdanchikov after Rosneft, what he does and how he survived the decline of his career. We will tell you how the life of an entrepreneur evolved, and why his name became widely known.
early years
Bogdanchikov Sergey Mikhailovich was born on August 10, 1957 in a small ancestral village of Bogdanovka, which is located in the Northern region of the Orenburg region. Bogdanchikov’s father was a simple collective farmer, today he is buried in the cemetery of his native village. Mom still lives in Bogdanovka and does not want to move to the capital, although her son repeatedly persuaded her. She used to work at school and was very demanding about raising her son. Talking about Sergei’s childhood, his mother says that he grew up a very hardworking and sociable boy. He always helped his parents with the housework: he looked after the animals, worked in the garden, chopped wood. At 6, he stayed with his younger sister when his parents left for work. From childhood, Sergei was very fond of reading, and this led to the fact that his vision began to set sharply. By the sixth grade, he already had myopia of the 4th degree, and soon one eye ceased to see at all. Bogdanchikov corrected his vision, already being an adult and a wealthy person. And at school, he had to listen to a lot of insulting nicknames that teased him for wearing glasses.
Education
In the native village of Bogdanchikov Sergey Mikhailovich graduated from only 8 classes. Then it was decided not to study at school, and he went to Buguruslan, where he entered the oil technical school. In the first year, he had an acute attack of appendicitis, and due to illness he had to miss two months of classes. But Sergei was able to catch up and all the years in college he studied only at five. In 1976, he successfully completed his studies and entered the Oil Institute in Ufa. During his student years, he successfully combined his studies with athletics. In 1981, he graduated from the university with honors with a degree in Technology and Complex Mechanization of the Development of Oil and Gas Fields.
Start of work
Despite a diploma with honors, after graduation, Bogdanchikov Sergey Mikhailovich received not the most prestigious distribution, he was sent to the small village of Kolendo on Sakhalin. He started as a simple engineer, but after 2 years he was appointed head of the workshop at Okhaneftegazdobycha. He showed himself as a competent manager, and this did not go unnoticed. In 1994, he was already the general director of the main mining enterprise in Sakhalin, Sakhalinmorneftegaz. The enterprise subordinate to Bogdanchikov brought a third of all island income. Colleagues and the public hoped that Sergei Mikhailovich would go to power, but he did not, although he was promised the post of governor of the Sakhalin Region. Bogdanchikov wanted to stay away from politics, but he did not succeed.
Peak career: Rosneft
In 1997, Bogdanchikov received an order from Moscow with a new appointment. So he became vice president of Rosneft. And a year later he became president of the company. First of all, he was assigned the duties of a regional manager for the Far East. But gradually he began to deal with problems of a national scale. In 2003, his name began to appear frequently in the media in connection with the Yukos affair. Bogdanchikov played an important role in the takeover of this company by Rosneft. Later, he managed to avoid the merger of his subordinate concern with such a giant as Gazprom. These transactions had not only an economic aspect, but also a political one. Having defended the independence of Rosneft, Sergei Mikhailovich strengthened the clan of Igor Sechin. It was the Bogdanchikov-Sechin tandem that was considered by many political scientists responsible for the emergence of the "Yukos affair." In 2005, Bogdanchikov was included in the list of defendants in the YUKOS lawsuit against Russian oil companies. However, the case in the American court did not receive further development. In 2006, Rosneft placed shares on the London Stock Exchange. Among the shareholders was Bogdanchikov, who acquired a package worth $ 1 million. For 12 years at Rosneft, Sergei Mikhailovich brought the company to a new level. In the first two years, he made it profitable, and then only increased his income by increasing oil production.
Parting with Rosneft
Since 2004, Sergei Mikhailovich Bogdanchikov, Rosneft as a whole have become the target of pressure from Gazprom. The concern wanted to absorb the oil company, but the Bogdanchikov team was able to defend independence, including through the purchase of Yuganskneftegaz. The friction between the companies did not stop, to this was added and dissatisfaction with the actions of Bogdanchikov from the shareholders of Rosneft. Rumors of his resignation have periodically appeared since 2004. The Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Government Igor Shuvalov, and then Igor Sechin, were personally interested in changing the leadership of the company. And in the fall of 2010, Bogdanchikov was dismissed. For some time, the journalists were anxiously waiting for what new appointment he would receive. But gradually this topic lost its relevance, this once quite significant figure - Sergey Mikhailovich Bogdanchikov began to disappear from the media. Where the former head of Rosneft is working now is unknown. There are suggestions that he is investing his capital in various areas of business. Including in 2013, he invested in Datapro LLC, a data processing company, among whose founders was Evgeny Bogdanchikov’s son. Despite the fact that Sergei Mikhailovich’s current occupation is unknown, it is clear that he is not in poverty, since over the years of work at Rosneft he could have made good money, which amounts to at least several million dollars.
