Rosneft, the world's largest publicly traded company by output, has hired the 25-year-old son of its CEO Igor Sechin, a news report said.
Ivan Sechin has been appointed deputy chief of one of the company's offshore production units, Kommersant reported Tuesday.
Rosneft encourages these types of dynasties provided two or more relatives don't find themselves at the head office, the company's vice president Yury Kalinin said.
The salary for Sechin junior's position may range from 300,000 rubles a month to double that amount.
Ivan received the job last month and has already taken up a tour with his father to Asia. During the tour, Rosneft pitched numerous opportunities for cooperation to companies in Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and India.
Ivan Sechin, a graduate from Moscow State University, previously worked as an analyst at Gazprombank, the country's third-largest lender.
Gazprombank, where state-controlled giant Gazprom is the major single shareholder, now employs the younger daughter of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Ksenia Shoigu, the report said.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
