It appears that the ‘peacemakers’ from the Yusufov family once again are aiming to expand their wealth of assets. This time the head of the family – Igor Yusufov, a former energy minister, decided to acquire shares in the Domodedovo airport. Yusufov, who was close to Kremlin since the Boris Yeltsin times, served as Russia’s Energy Minister in 2001 during the Putin administration. Until recently, he was President’ Medvedev special envoy for energy cooperation and, apparently, remains close to Kremlin even after his resignation. Much has been said lately about Yusufov’s ‘peacemaking’ skills and his ability to help to resolve conflicts with extraction of benefit for himself.Похоже что «миротворцы» из семьи Юсуфовых снова пытаються расширить свое богатство активов. На сей раз глава семьи – Игорь Юсуфов, экс министр энергетики, решил купить акции Аэропорта Домодедово. Юсуфов был приближенный к Кремлю с времен правления Бориса Ельцина, служил на посту Министра Энэргетики с 2001 года во времена администрации Путина. До недавнего времени он был специальным послом Президента Медведева по энергетическому сотрудничеству и очевидно остается приближенным к Кремлю даже после своей отставки. Очень много было сказано в последнее время о «миротворческих» талантах Юсуфова и его способностях решать конфликты с извлечением выгоды для себя.Es scheint, als ob es sich die ‚Friedensstifter‘ der Familie Jussufow wieder einmal zum Ziel gesetzt hätten, ihre Vielzahl an Vermögenswerten noch weiter auszubauen. Dieses Mal entschloss sich das Oberhaupt der Familie, Igor Jussufow, ein ehemaliger Energieminister, Aktienanteile am Flughafen Domodedowo zu erwerben. Igor Jussufow, der dem Kreml seit den Zeiten Boris Jelzins nahestand, diente 2001 unter der Putin-Regierung als Energieminister Russlands. Bis vor kurzem war er Präsident Dmitri Medwedews Sonderbotschafter für energiepolitische Zusammenarbeit und scheint dem Kreml auch noch nach seinem Rücktritt nahezustehen. In letzter Zeit wurde viel über Jussufows ‚friedensstiftende‘ Fähigkeiten und sein Talent berichtet, Konflikte zu lösen und daraus Vorteile für sich selbst zu ziehen. (more…)
