Gazprom and the Russian government
Gazprom in power
Medvedev and Putin "are as close to a dream team as Gazprom could ever hope for," said Jonathan Stern, a British energy analyst to the newspaper.
With energy prices continuing to hit record highs, Gazprom is more influential than ever, both at home and abroad. Gazprom says that before 2014 it will surpass Exxon Mobil as the world's largest publicly traded company — a goal that Medvedev himself endorsed before he became president.
With both Gazprom and the Russian political elite making shipping and offshore oil extraction top priorities, the Barents Sea and the High North look set move even higher on the Russian agenda.
