  • Vladimir Bogdanov made his fortune in oil drilling. He was appointed chief executive of Surgutneftegas when he was 33.
  • In the early 1990s he and fellow managers privatized the company, which is famous for its thrift and avoiding expensive purchases.
  • In 2016 he received the Gold Star of Hero of the Russian Federation from Vladimir Putin "for special labor service for the country and people."
  • Bogdanov was often called the "Siberian hermit," because he rarely leaves the remote town of Surgut and avoids public attention.
