The patricians and their children continue to add material to one of my favorite recurring sections: "News from the feudal state." Rosneft’s interests in Asia will be represented by the 24-year-old son of Russia’s ambassador to China “Other than the fact that [Rosneft’s new representative in the Asia-Pacific region] has a father who is Russia’s ambassador to China, I can’t say anything. I saw him in 2007, when he was still just a child,” says Sergei Sanakoev, head of the Russian-Chinese Center for Trade and Economic Cooperation. Rosneft’s new representative in the Asia-Pacific region is 24 years old; among the Russian community in the Chinese capital, he is known as the manager of one of Beijing’s restaurants and as someone who leads an ‘active social life,’ says an employee of one of the companies operating in China. According to the source, Sergei Razov has lived in the PRC since 2005, when his father became Russia’s ambassador to China. “He received his education in China through the embassy quota, which makes it possible to study at a Chinese university as part of an exchange,” the source says, noting that Razov is currently pursuing an MBA. http://www.vedomosti.ru/career/news/7881921/interesy_rosnefti_v_azii_budet_predstavt Twenty-four years old, an active social life, and “is pursuing an MBA” — isn’t that enough for the talented youngster to move straight from managing a restaurant to coordinating the business of state-owned Rosneft (the world’s largest publicly traded oil producer) in more than 20 countries across Asia? Presumably, if he had already finished his MBA by now, they could have appointed him vice president. And Andrei Murov and Oleg Budargin will compete for the post of CEO of Russian Grids.
Another talented offspring, the son of FSO (Federal Protective Service) director Murov (the one partying it up in Courchevel with the former finance minister of Moscow Region, who is wanted by the authorities), continues his ascent up the career ladder. If only someone would take on the task of compiling an epic work called The Children of Putin and United Russia. It would make a magnificent document. The Ivanov sons, the Patrushev sons, Fradkov’s son. Matviyenko’s dear little son. Khristenko’s dear little son. and so on and so forth And that’s only what the newspapers write about every day. Drop information about similar cases in the comments. It could turn into a good DMP campaign later.
