Dossier
The current Gazprom Neft Chairman Alexander Dyukov’s career is closely associated with the names of influential St. Petersburg businessmen, the owners of the St. Petersburg Sea Port, IlyaTraber and Dmitry Skigin.
Since 1991, Alexander Dyukov worked as an engineer with Sovex, owned by Dmitry Skigin. In 1996, he became first Financial and then General director of the Petersburg Oil Terminal joint venture, which Traber (chairman of the terminal’s Board of Directors) and Skigin (a member of the Board of Directors) controlled at the time.
In 1998, Dyukov left for St Petersburg Sea Port and shortly afterwards he became its acting CEO.
In replying to a query from Novaya Gazeta, Gazprom Neft Board Chairman confirmed that he knew Dmitry Skigin and Ilya Traber: “Skigin and Traber were members of the board at Petersburg Oil Terminal and St. Petersburg Seaport when I was a member of these companies’ management.”
The Audit Chamber investigation into St Petersburg Port’s activities mentions some deals in which Alexander Dyukov took part: “Pursuant to the order No.545 <…> issued by A.V. Dyukov on 6 November 1998, movable ship property was sold to ZAO Port Fleet (for 3.1 million rubles) which was transferred to the company <…> for property complex management. <…> The transaction was executed in violation of current legislation: the issue was not approved by the St Petersburg City Property Management Committee (KUGI),” the report said.

The most famous murder committed around Dyukov’s employment was the assassination of the Head of the City Property Committee Mikhail Manevich, who was shot in his car on Nevsky Prospect on 18th August 1997. St. Petersburg Sea Port Capt. Michael Sinelnikov, his Safety Assistant Sergey Boev, the Head of North-Western Shipping Company (Severo-Zapadnoe Parokhodstvo) Yevgeny Khokhlov, the Personnel Head of North-Western Shipping Company Nicholas Yevstafyev, co-owner of North-West Customs Terminal Nicholas Shatilo, and CEO of the company Witold Kaydanovich were also killed then. The co-owners of Orimi Trade Group Company Dmitry Varvarin and Sergei Krizhan competing with Traber for OAO Petrolesport were killed as well.
The Antiquer himself didn’t stand apart from the dirty work. For example, in Vyborg
Talekala Hotel (then named Yuzhnaya), he personally killed Alexander Polyakov, and then the guards drove the body into the woods. Two women, who were on duty in the hotel, became casual witnesses of the murder and were eliminated as well as Poliakov just to be safe.
Dyukov (probably) did not personally kill anyone. But there are not only killers in a self-respecting gang, but also tippers-off, thieves, gamblers, kitty fund keepers, and other competent professionals who have responsibility, along with accessories, in accordance with the Criminal
Code.
