Sergei Chemezov

Sergei Chemezov is the general director of Russia’s arms exporting monopoly, Rosoboronexport, studied at the Armed Forces’ General Staff Academy and has the rank of lieutenant-general. He met Putin in the mid-1980s when the latter was stationed as a spy in Dresden. Chemezov, employed at a Soviet industrial association, lived in the same building and socialized with Putin and his wife Lyudmila. On behalf of Rosoboronexport, Chemezov took over the country’s largest automobile company, Avtovaz, in 2005 and assigned a fellow General Staff Academy graduate, Igor Yesipovsky, to run it. The new executives flew in hundreds of shock troops to fight the criminal gangs stealing cars for black market sales. There has been talk of merging two other automobile companies, GAZ and KAMAZ, with Avtovaz. In mid-2006, Chemezov was negotiating to buy the world’s largest titanium producer, VSMPO-Avisma, as well as considering takeovers of two St Petersburg military shipyards and four jet engine manufacturers

Anatoly Chubais

Probably the most unpopular of all the Russian politicians, Anatoly Chubais is the head of the Unified Energy System of Russia, Russia's largest power company. One of Russia's original market reformers, Anatoly Chubais oversaw the mass privatizations of state property in the 1990s. He served in the government in various capacities throughout the 1990s. Of all the oligarchs, Anatoly Chubais has the least experience as a businessman. Until he became the president of UES, the electricity monopoly, in April 1998, most of his work had been as an academic, political reformer and then a government bureaucrat. He was born in Leningrad in 1955 and graduated from the Leningrad Engineering Economic Institute. With the coming of Gorbachev's glasnost and democratization, he joined the political reform and ultimately joined the reform administration of Mayor Anatoly Sobchak.

When Yegor Gaidar was asked to draw up a reform program for Boris Yeltsin, he brought in Chubais and put him in charge of the State Committee on Privatization. He designed and implemented the voucher program and the subsequent privatization of state enterprises.

Oleg Deripaska

Born in 1968, is Russia's youngest billionaire at age 35. Deripaska accumulated a business empire through a series of ruthless and elaborate, though technically legal, takeover raids. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, he was a 23-year-old student at Moscow State University. He soon got a job in the fledgling metals trading market. By 1994, he was chief financial officer of Aluminprodukt. Through the company, he bought a stake in a Siberian smelter plant, beginning his ascent to the top of one of Russia's roughest industries. Deripaska became the plant's manager to protect it from a takeover by its former owner, who once threatened him with a grenade launcher. Later, Deripaska waged his own revolt to take over the shares of the London-based Transworld Group, then owned by controversial multimillionaire Mikhail Chernoi. Fellow oligarch Roman Abramovich became Deripaska's partner; in early 2000, the two created a joint venture called Russian Aluminum (RusAl). Today, RusAl has $4 billion in annual sales and is the world's second-largest aluminum producer. Deripaska owns 75 percent of the company. His other businesses include power stations, Russia's largest car and commercial vehicle manufacturer, and the country's largest insurance company.
