June 26 (Bloomberg) — OAO Gazprom Chief Executive Officer Alexei Miller, hospitalized with a kidney ailment more than three weeks ago, will return to work “soon,” Deputy Chief Executive Officer Alexander Medvedev said.
Miller is involved in all management decisions, Medvedev told reporters today in Moscow, where the world’s largest natural-gas company is based. No other information on Miller’s health was immediately available.
Sergei Kupriyanov, a spokesman for state-run Gazprom, said June 6 that Miller, 45, “has a chronic disease related to the kidneys” that requires hospitalization “from time to time.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed Miller chief executive of Gazprom in May 2001 as part of a wider campaign to gain control of the company from executives appointed under former President Boris Yeltsin. Miller worked for Putin in the St. Petersburg city government a decade ago, as did Deputy CEO Andrei Kruglov, who is running the company in Miller’s absence.

The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
