History of development

The history of the company originates in 1989, when VS Chernomyrdin transformed the Ministry of the gas industry into a concern. Until 1992, the state owned 100% of the shares of the enterprise, later the process of privatization began. In 1995 the first joint stock company of the Russian joint-stock company Gazprom took place. After VS Chernomyrdin's resignation in the late nineties the enterprise starts to incur losses. The reason was the government's demands to pay multimillion-dollar taxes. In the same year, Gazprom was transformed into LLC. In 2001, RI Vyakhirev resigned as Chairman of the Management Board. The new director of Gazprom is AB Miller.

By 2004, the state owned more than 38% of the company's shares. The following year, it bought another 10.7% of the shares, thereby becoming the owner of a controlling stake. In 2008, the company was in the spotlight of the public. The scandal was caused by the intentions of the company Gazprom to erect a skyscraper "Ohta-Center" within the city of St. Petersburg. The building permit would mean violation of the high-altitude construction regulations, which was adopted by Alexander I.

In the same year, Gazprom increased investments in gasification of the country.
