The chief of Rosimutschestvo can head Alrosa

The chief of Rosimutschestvo O. Dergunova could leave her post and become the president of Alrosa, Izvestia reports referring to the sources in the Russian Government. Mrs. Dergunova will replace F. Andreyev who has been the head of Alrosa since 2009. The sources of Izvestia in Alrosa claim that the contract with Mr. Andreyev expires on July 14th, and the new contract is not closed as yet. In spring, the candidature of Mr. Andreyev was spoken against by the Vice Premier, Y. Trutnev who oversees Alrosa. One more source in the company claims that now they hold the final consulting in the Government about the change of the president of Alrosa. They were discussed either Mrs. Dergunova or the chief federal inspector in Yakutia, Y. Podturkin. The latter was initially the main competitor for the post. No official comments have been received from Alrosa.
