On 10 December at the Marriott Grand Hotel in Moscow, the Association for the Protection of the Rights of Investors held a conference on «Corporate Governance in Russia – The Current State and Prospects in Conditions of Financial Crisis». At its end were named the winners in 16 nominations for «Leaders in the Sphere of Corporate Governance». In the nomination “Best Chairman of a Board of Directors” victory was had by vice-premier of the government of the RF Igor Sechin (NK «Rosneft»).

…I look at the manly, rarely smiling face of Igor Ivanovich Sechin and I think: there he is – the very portrait of that notorious «administrative resource»! There he is – the “human resource”!
