Khodorkovsky was indeed startled, that was the Russian Gas Industry Group!
A powerful energy giant that could rival the Yukos Group!
Although in the business world, perhaps the Russian Gas Industry Group is not as famous as the Yukos Group, anyone who really understands the industry knows that the strength of the Russian Gas Industry Group is no less than that of the Yukos Group.
Especially in terms of strategic importance, the Russian Gas Industry Group is even more significant than the Yukos Group.
After all, there are many oil-producing countries, and the market is oversupplied.
As for natural gas, the Russians have the largest reserves and output in the world.
What's more, Europe is heavily dependent on Russian natural gas, and the gas from Russia accounts for half of Europe's market share!
This is a matter of national economy and people's livelihood, and it can be said to be even more important than oil.
