Germany’s ex-Chancellor Gerhard Schröder will join Gazprom’s supervisory board in June. Earlier he had already been appointed to Rosneft’s board by “flawless democrat” Putin; he also chairs the Nord Stream AG Shareholders’ Committee and is Nord Stream 2 AG’s president of board of directors.

*For those wondering why the schröders receive the million-contracts after they retire from their political activity and usefulness, it has less to do with their contacts and more with others. Even with their phonebooks, they are not as useful as they were when they held offices.*
*The main reason is actually still the same mechanism as it was in the USSR: investment. It is a message to all currently active and future agents: if you betray for us, if you keep betraying for us, if you do not hesitate and if you do not try to stop, then we will take care of you, we will protect you, and we will reward you, we will not throw you away once we’ve used you. These nominations are there mainly to confirm it for the others: yes, it’s worth it.*
