Alexey Miller was born on January 31, 1962 in St. Petersburg. The boy grew up in a family of Russian Germans. Mother, Lyudmila Aleksandrovna Miller, father, Boris Vasilyevich Miller. Alexei’s parents worked in the closed military enterprise of the Leninets Research and Production Association.
The guy studied at a specialized gymnasium with a mathematical bias No. 330 in hometown. Miller's only hobby was football. Alexey passionately supported Zenit and did not miss a single game of his favorite club.
After graduating from school with excellent grades, he managed to enter the local financial and economic institute the first time, from which he successfully graduated in 1984 and received a diploma as an “engineer-economist.” For several years after receiving his diploma, Miller worked in his specialty at the St. Petersburg Research and Design Institute, however, being a capable student, in 1986 he decided to continue his studies in graduate school. Three years later, Miller became a candidate of economic sciences.
After graduate school, the young specialist continued his activities at the St. Petersburg Research and Design Institute as a junior researcher, and in 1990 he transferred to the executive committee of the St. Petersburg Council, where he headed the Committee on Economic Reforms.
The next step in the career ladder of a successful Russian economist was the Committee for External Relations in the mayor's office of St. Petersburg, in which Vladimir Putin was Miller's immediate superior. This cooperation became key point in the further successful biography of Alexei Borisovich.
Thanks to Miller, the first investment zones in the city were developed: Pulkovo and Parnas, where the Gillette, Coca-Cola, and Baltika factories were built. At the same time, Alexey Borisovich introduced the first foreign banks “Lyonsky Credit” and “Dresden Bank” into the territory of St. Petersburg. Miller also developed hotel business and headed the board of directors of the Hotel Europe.
From 1996 to 2000, Alexey Miller held the position of Director for Development and Investments of OJSC Sea Port of St. Petersburg, and was also the General Director of the Open Joint Stock Company Baltic Pipeline System.
After Vladimir Putin's victory in presidential elections in 2000, many of his colleagues in the St. Petersburg administration received senior positions in the Government and state enterprises of Russia. Alexey Miller, who received the post of Deputy Minister of Energy, was no exception. For his successful work in his position, experts and politicians predicted the post of Minister of Energy of Russia for the successful economist, but their assumptions did not come true. In 2001, Miller became the head of the board of OJSC Gazprom.
In 2002, Miller took the position of Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of OJSC Gazprom. By this time, the organization had undergone major personnel changes. Being far from the energy sector, Miller needed people for whom this field was not alien. A number of leadership positions went to people with whom the new chairman of the board had already worked; other appointments came from the Kremlin; some managed to retain their posts.
In 2010, the American magazine Harvard Business Review ranked Miller third in the ranking of the world's most effective top managers. In 2013, he took third place in the Forbes list, and was named one of the most expensive Russian managers.
During Miller's tenure, Gazprom became the world's global energy business leader. The gas giant acquired large assets in the oil and energy sectors, strengthened its position in exports, created strong economic ties with Italian and German corporations, began implementing projects to diversify supplies, and signed strategic agreements for gas supplies to countries in the Asia-Pacific region. At the same time, Miller managed to eliminate actual competition from Gazprom in the gas sector.
In 2018, Miller oversaw the construction of Nord Stream 2, which runs along the bottom of the Baltic Sea, and also supervised the launch of “ Turkish Stream", laid through the Black Sea. In the fall of the same year, he reported on the construction of 200 km of the expected 1,200 km of Nord Stream and the laying of the Turkish Stream pipe with the final joint.
As of January 2019, Alexey Borisovich is interested in football and remains a fan of the St. Petersburg club Zenit. He is the vice-president of the Russian Football Union. Miller also enjoys horse riding. Over time, the hobby grew into the fact that the manager holds the position of head of Russian Hippodromes OJSC. The main task set by the president is the revival of domestic equestrian sport.
Vladimir Putin September 9, 2019 had a working meeting with Alexey Miller. The head of the energy company informed the President of Russia about the current work, the progress of preparations for the autumn-winter season and the prospects for the implementation of one of the largest projects - “Power of Siberia”. Gazprom’s interaction with Ukrainian and European consumers was also discussed Russian gas.
Prime Minister of Russia October 18, 2019 held a working meeting with Chairman of the Board of Gazprom PJSC Alexey Miller. The results of the company’s activities since the beginning of 2019, the progress of preparations for the upcoming winter season, as well as issues related to gas transit through the territory of Ukraine were discussed.
Vladimir Putin November 26, 2019 held a working meeting with the Minister of Energy Alexander Novak and Alexey Miller. The readiness of the country's energy complex to operate in winter was discussed. Issues of Russian-Ukrainian interaction in the energy sector were discussed separately.

Today, Alexey Miller is the highest paid manager in the Russian Federation, holds the post of Chairman of the Board of OJSC Gazprom, and heads the board of directors of NPF Gazfond, SOGAZ, and Gazprombank.
Alexey Miller firmly believes that business is either war or real art. His colleagues believe that two qualities led him to the pinnacle of success: hard work and diligence. As Miller himself says, he is not used to retreating, and always goes to the intended goal, achieving it by any means. He also always believes in himself and trusts his partners. According to research by the Harvard Business Review conducted in 2010, he became third in the world list of top managers. One of the criteria for performance was the income of the shareholders of the company he headed.
Childhood
Alexey Miller was born in the city on the Neva on January 31, 1962, in the family of Russian Germans Boris and Lyudmila Miller. They both worked at a closed military enterprise associated with the aviation industry, which is now called NPO Leninets. Mom held the position of engineer, father worked as an ordinary assembly mechanic. Miller’s parents are no longer alive, his mother died in 2009, his father died even earlier, in 1986, he was diagnosed with cancer.
There were no other children in the family, so Alexei received all the parental love and care. They wanted to give him the best, so specialized gymnasium No. 330 with in-depth study of mathematics was chosen as the boy’s place of education. Alexey was a real godsend for teachers; he grew up obedient and absolutely free of conflict. He didn’t get into fights with other boys and didn’t violate discipline. At school he was perhaps the shyest and most diligent, and was distinguished by his ability in the exact sciences. According to teachers and classmates, Miller was inconspicuous, but he dreamed of achieving high results thanks to his abilities and efforts.
Alexey graduated from school very well, and in the same year he became a student at the Institute of Finance and Economics without any problems.
His mentor was Professor Igor Blekhtsin, who spoke very warmly of his favorite student. Miller was remembered by other teachers for his neatness and clear calligraphic handwriting. In 1984, he became a certified economic engineer.
After receiving a FINEK diploma, Miller got a job at LenNIIproekt, where he began his career in his specialty. In 1986, he entered graduate school there, and three years later, after successfully defending his dissertation, he became a candidate of economic sciences. All his attention at this time was directed to the economy.
Career
After graduating from graduate school, Miller remained to work at the same research institute, only as a junior researcher. In 1990, he became the head of the Committee on Economic Reforms under the Executive Committee of the Leningrad City Council.
Only a year passed, and Alexey Miller stepped even further, he already worked in the Committee on External Relations, and was directly subordinate to Vladimir Putin. It was thanks to this collaboration that Miller was able to make a successful career and rise to unprecedented heights.
Thanks to Miller’s efforts, the first investment zones began to develop in the city - Parnassus, Pulkovo, and subsequently the Coca-Cola, Gillette, and Baltika enterprises grew. It was Alexey who initiated the opening of the Dresden Bank and Lyon Credit banks in St. Petersburg. Special attention He devoted his attention to the development of the hotel business and became the head of the board of directors of the Europe Hotel.
After losing the gubernatorial election in 1996, life changed dramatically for Miller and many of his colleagues. Almost the entire team of Vladimir Putin submitted letters of resignation from the city administration of St. Petersburg, and for some time each of them was in “free floating.”
However, this transition period did not last long. After Vladimir Putin took the post of President of the Russian Federation in 2000, he remembered his colleagues from the St. Petersburg administration and appointed them to leadership positions. Some entered the government, some headed state-owned enterprises in Russia. Alexey Miller was also lucky to be among these lucky ones. He was appointed to the post of Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation. He was able to demonstrate his best business qualities in this position, so many believed that he would soon become the Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation, but these bold assumptions did not come true. In 2001, Miller’s biography changed dramatically again, this time he headed the board of OAO Gazprom, which was no less prestigious than a ministerial portfolio.
Gazprom
It cannot be said that the managers of Gazprom were very happy about this appointment; rather, they were in a state of deep shock. Miller was tasked with carrying out the most radical reforms in the company and returning it under the “wing” of the state. The previous head of Gazprom, Rem Vyakherev, was unable to preserve the company's assets, and they were in the hands of private owners. So it was Miller who had to return these shares to their rightful owner - the state.
Global investors immediately sensed the change in the policy of the new leadership, and I must say, they accepted it with enthusiasm. Changes came at the very as soon as possible. It took Miller only a few months to completely revamp the team, firing old managers and hiring new ones. For this purpose, he brought proven people from his past into the company and began strategic reforms that would inevitably revive the corporation. The new team of OJSC Gazprom was soon replenished with the head of the management staff Mikhail Sereda, chief accountant Elena Vasilyeva, head of Mezhregiongaz Kirill Seleznev and Andrei Kruglov, who headed the financial and economic department of the concern.
After the personnel changes were completed, Miller directly began to deal with his duties, namely, he made every effort to return Gazprom’s lost assets. Soon he could already report his first successes - in a short period of time and insignificant investments, Itera, Zapsibgazprom, SIBUR, Northgas, Vostokgazprom returned to Gazprom. However, this was only part of the reorganization plan, and soon they managed to return the shares of Gazprom directly, and they now had controlling interest in the amount of 51%, eleven percent of which belonged to the concern's subsidiaries.
Under the leadership of Alexey Miller, OJSC Gazprom became a leader in the global energy market. Now the gas giant owned assets in the energy and oil sectors, exports were successfully developing, and long-term agreements were signed with corporations in Italy and Germany. In addition, Gazprom began supplying gas to Asia-Pacific countries. Thanks to Miller's efforts, Gazprom became the leader in gas suppliers; they had virtually no actual competitors left.
In 2011, new elections were held for the post of chairman of the board of Gazprom, and Miller retained the position for the next five years. His merits in this industry did not go unnoticed; Alexey Borisovich received many state awards, including the medal “For Services to the Fatherland”.
In 2013, Forbes magazine published a ranking of world managers, in which Miller took third place. He became the highest paid Russian manager, and his annual income was equivalent to $25 million. However, this did not last long.
Since 2012, top managers of various Russian companies began to receive slightly less. In 2016, the same Forbes magazine reported that the income of the heads of the largest Russian corporations had more than halved.
A year later, the fortune of the head of Gazprom increased, and was now equal to 27 million in American currency. For the first time, Miller was in first place on the Forbes list of Russian rich people. That year, the corporation's income was its highest ever, at $140.4 million. Two years later, Miller's income had decreased markedly, amounting to only $9,500,000, but he still held the leading position. Russian list Forbes. Second place went to Igor Sechin, head of Rosneft, whose annual salary was $13 million.
Currently, Gazprom is gradually losing its profitability. This is primarily due to the fact that traditional markets for products have been lost and foreign competitors have become more active. After Ukraine refused to supply Russian gas, sales volumes in this direction decreased noticeably. In addition, Europe began to search for and implement new developments and technologies to use alternative energy sources.
During this difficult period, Gazprom leaders decided to find other ways to supply their products to Europe. It was decided to build new gas pipelines called “Turkish Stream” and “Nord Stream 2”.
Family
Like many public people, Alexey Miller never flaunts his personal life. For quite a long time he has been married to a woman named Irina, whom you almost never see at social events. She prefers a home environment and family comfort. They have a son, Mikhail. Alexey Miller's status does not allow him to maintain personal pages on in social networks, therefore, everything related to his life and career, as well as photographs, can only be seen on the pages of the media.
Recently, information appeared in print media that Miller was having an affair with Marina Entaltseva, who holds the post of Deputy Head of the Government Staff. However, no official confirmation of this information has been received, although photographs of them together appear on the pages of publications quite often.
If he has free time, Alexey enjoys spending it with his family. Since childhood, he has been passionate about football, not betraying his beloved club Zenit for so many years. Gazprom even became the official sponsor of this football club. Miller also loves equestrian sports, for which he has purebred stallions – Vesyoly and Fragrant. Quite often, they host parties at their home for those closest to them, at which Alexey picks up a guitar and sings his favorite hits.
For some time now, equestrian sport has become not only a hobby, but also another area of business development. In 2012, Miller became the head of Russian Hippodromes OJSC, and received a task from Russian President Putin to revive Russian equestrian sport.
Alexey Miller now
In 2018, the name of Alexey Miller appeared on the so-called “Kremlin” list compiled in the United States. It also included twenty-six Russian entrepreneurs and officials who have direct relations with the Russian President. However Russian media They calculated that this had no effect on Miller’s salary, which is now equivalent to 58 million rubles per month.
Currently, Alexey Miller directly controls the construction of Nord Stream 2 and supervises the Turkish Stream, which passes through the Black Sea. In the fall of 2018, Miller reported that 200 km of the 1,200 km Nord Stream gas pipeline had already been laid, and the Turkish Stream was at its final stage.
The United States has repeatedly intended to prevent this construction, but gas pipelines continue to be laid.
In the fall of 2018, Russian President Putin met with Turkish President Erdogan in Istanbul about the completion of the Turkish Stream. Miller provided technical support for this meeting and was involved in broadcasting the videoconference of this meeting. Miller promised that both southern branches of the gas pipeline will be put into operation at the end of 2019.

In the 80s, A. Miller was a member of the informal club of young economists "Sintez", which consisted mainly of his acquaintances from Finek. The members of the club were Anatoly Chubais, Andrei Illarionov, Mikhail Manevich (vice-governor of St. Petersburg, killed in 1997), Mikhail Dmitriev and Alexey Kudrin. With some of them future head Gazprom later worked in the executive committee of the Leningrad City Council. In 1990 A. Miller headed a subsection in the Economic Reform Committee of the Leningrad City Council Executive Committee. The deputy chairman of this committee was then Alexey Kudrin, and Anatoly Chubais - deputy head of the executive committee of the Leningrad City Council.
But, as it turned out later, the key role in future fate A. Miller played his next place work- in the Committee for External Relations (KBC) of the St. Petersburg City Hall, where his immediate supervisor in 1991 was turned out to be the future of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin.
The future head of Gazprom worked at KVS until 1996. in different positions. It is believed that he contributed to the arrival of large Western banks in St. Petersburg, including Dresdner Bank, which later became a partner of the gas holding. A. Miller represented the interests of the city in joint enterprises and oversaw the hotel business - was on the board of directors of the hotel "".
In 1996 in the mayor's office of St. Petersburg has changed - Anatoly Sobchak lost the gubernatorial elections. After this, most of the members of his team, including A.

After V. Putin was elected to office in 2000 president RF, his former subordinate A. Miller moves to Moscow and takes the post of Deputy Minister of Energy RF.

Born at the Donskoy stud farm, Fragrant came first to the finish line seven times during his career and remained in the prizes 12 times.
Alexey Borisovich Miller's work at Gazprom
Start work A. Miller in Gazprom was quite sluggish, although he took the news about the change of leadership with enthusiasm - investors decided that it was time for reforms. True, the reforms themselves did not begin immediately. “Non-core” for Gazprom, Alexey Borisovich began updating the team only a few months later. He faced a difficult task, because he did not have his own production gas managers. The first “purges” began in September 2001, and within a year all of R. Vyakhirev’s deputies lost their positions. Including key top managers- Deputy Chairman of the Board Sergei Dubinin and Alexander Pushkin, who oversaw sales in the CIS, Vyacheslav Sheremet, responsible for the financial block, Chief Accountant Irina Bogatyreva.
A. Miller had to take people from his past to a number of key positions. This is how his colleagues in BTS appeared in Gazprom - Mikhail Sereda (now deputy chairman, head of the board of staff), Kirill Seleznev (now head of Mezhregiongaz), Elena Vasilyeva took the post of chief accountant. A. Miller covered the financial block with another “his” newcomer - Andrey Kruglov (an acquaintance from working at the St. Petersburg mayor’s office), who now holds the post of deputy chairman of the board and heads the financial and economic department. The production unit was almost completely preserved. Among the “veterans” of Gazprom, Alexander Ananenkov, who previously headed Yamburggazdobycha, and Yuri Komarov, who served as head of the export department (since 2009 - chief executive officer of Shtokman AG), became deputy chairmen. Appointees from the Kremlin also came, including Alexander Ryazanov, at that time a State Duma deputy, and in the past the head of the Surgut gas processing plant (left the post of deputy chairman of Gazprom in 2006).
Experts market and former gas executives concern They predicted A. Miller's imminent resignation. Gossips they whispered that he was not able to manage such a colossus as Gazprom, and was appointed only temporarily to “cleanse” the ranks. According to one of the gas tales, R. Vyakhirev said in a narrow circle that A. Miller would hang himself in his office in a year. However, he not only did not hang himself, but also managed to strengthen his position in such a motley environment. The new head of Gazprom has actually taken root in concern in 2004, finally forming his team, which became a fusion of people from the Sea Port of St. Petersburg, BTS, the St. Petersburg City Hall, protégés of V. Putin and people from the old production block. In 2006 a five-year contract was unconditionally extended with him, and no one had any doubts about its extension.
The first and main task for A. Miller was formulated personally the president RF. At a meeting in Novy Urengoy in the fall of 2001. V. Putin clearly outlined the priority: “You need to take ownership issues seriously, otherwise you will leave your mouth open, and you will not only have SIBUR, but also other enterprises". The new team took this slogan very seriously. During the four-year campaign for the return of assets, which was accompanied by active PR, he returned for a nominal fee large stakes of shares transferred to Itera in Purgaz (Gubkin priority) and Severneftegazprom (Yuzhno- Russian), restored over SIBUR, Vostokgazprom, Zapsibgazprom, Northgas (through the court). The main asset that was returned to the state under A. Miller, Gazprom itself became: due to the purchase of shares in market in 2003 The 51% stake in the Russian Federation was restored, but 10.74% of the state stake was on the balance sheet of Gazprom’s subsidiaries. To ensure direct state control over the gas concern, an adventure was launched to merge two giants - Gazprom and Open Joint Stock Company Rosneft - by exchanging 10.7% of the shares of the first for 100% of the shares of the second. But in the end, due to a conflict between intra-Kremlin groups, the deal did not take place - Gazprom shares state bought it for , putting it on the balance sheet of Rosneftegaz. After this, it was liberalized (restrictions on trade them on stock market, over the 15 years of the existence of OAO Gazprom, it increased 219 times).
Under A. Miller, Gazprom set a course for business globalization. In 2005 the head of the organization set the task of becoming a noticeable speculator on the world market. At the annual meeting in 2007. he stated that the goal had been achieved and "the transformation of Gazprom from companies"national champion" into a global energy business leader." During this time, Gazprom received assets in the electric power industry, the oil sector (having purchased Sibneft in 2005), assigned priority to export directions (the share of Russian gas in imports in Europe in 2007 amounted to 40%), acquired good relations with the German E.On and BASF, the Italian ENI, began implementing projects to diversify supplies - gas pipelines through the Baltic and South Stream through the Black Sea, signed a number of strategic agreements on supplies supply of gas to the Asia-Pacific countries, which are still not organized, pushed through the decision to abolish state regulation on domestic gas prices.

At the same time, under A. Miller, the gas sector was virtually liquidated - they bought it from Itera Control mostly Active- Sibneftegaz, 20% of NOVATEK shares also went to Gazprom, foreign shareholders of the Sakhalin-2 project were forced to transfer Control the Russian concern, TNK BP - to sell Kovykta, access to the export pipeline is still distributed by Gazprom, taking into account its interests, it also received the status of a single gas export operator.
