Former Prime Minister Viktor Zubkov, who now chairs the board of the state monopoly Gazprom, has sold all his shares in the company, according to information disclosed by Gazprom.
In June 2017, he bought 179,918 shares for 21.5 million rubles (about $382,000). Based on stock prices in late January 2018, Zubkov seems to have made roughly 5 million rubles ($88,800) in just six months.
Zubkov served as Russian prime minister from 2007 to 2008, before serving four years as first deputy prime minister when President Medvedev appointed Vladimir Putin to his place. Zubkov has been Gazprom’s board chairman since 2008.
