RUSSIA’S QUEST TO BUILD A SPACE EMPIRE-OR GO BROKE TRYING
IT’S NOT UNUSUAL for space agencies to wax lyrical about how their work exploring all that lies beyond Earth’s atmosphere is for the shared benefit of humankind. It's probably expected. So when, at a panel during the 33rd annual Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, the head of the Russian space agency says things like “How should we collaborate for the benefit of all of us to get the best result?” and “We need to find the way how can we do it together,” nobody seems to question his motives.
Russia Could Stay with the International Space Station to 2028
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Russia is ready to discuss extending the life of the International Space Station (ISS) to 2028, said Igor Komarov, director general of the Russian national space agency, Roscosmos.
Russia has created a queue for space
In 2016, for the first time in recent decades, Russia lost its leadership in commercial spacecraft launches to China and the United States. The rocket and space sector is one of the few industries in which Russia has had a strong position in the global market. However, now, when new large-scale satellite projects are emerging and the demand for commercial launch services is growing rapidly, our country is able to offer less than in the old days. Russia's reputation in the market for satellite launch services is losing its impeccability. If the Russian Federation does not urgently address the improvement and development of this area, then the place of Russian companies will ultimately be taken by competitors from other countries.

“The Board of Directors has made an important personnel decision. Vladimir Kalmykov has been appointed general director of Krasmash. Now the company is fulfilling a very important order for the Russian Ministry of Defense,” said the head of the Roscosmos corporation.
According to Komarov, Krasnoyarsk is at a high level in the field of mechanical engineering. Now the Roscosmos corporation is working to simplify the high requirements regarding obtaining the so-called “space license” necessary for cooperation with the state corporation. At the same time, Komarov believes, the quality of products must remain at the highest level. Thus, small and medium-sized enterprises producing high-tech and high-intensity products will be able to work directly with companies in the space industry.

Ex-president of AvtoVAZ Igor Komarov appointed deputy head of Roscosmos
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev appointed former AvtoVAZ President Igor Komarov as deputy head of the Federal Space Agency, the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers reported.
President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin appointed his plenipotentiary representative in the Volga Federal District. With approximately this headline, on Friday, September 7, all Russian media released news about the appointment of a new plenipotentiary representative in the Volga Federal District. From December 2011 to August 24, 2018, this position was held by Mikhail Babich, recently appointed by Vladimir Putin as Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Belarus. It must be said that during the seven years of Babich’s embassy, the media repeatedly said goodbye to him. He was escorted to, and even to. Finally, the long farewell was not in vain.
After Babich’s appointment as ambassador, the federal media, citing sources close to the Kremlin, began to name him for the vacant post. First, against Senator Lyubov Glebova and ex-Minister of Agriculture Alexander Tkachev. On the eve of the signing of the corresponding decree, another name appeared in the information field -.
Today, “sources close to the Kremlin” confirmed their closeness, and the news agency “In the City of N” will try to paint a detailed portrait of the new plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Volga Federal District, which is not indifferent to us.
So, Igor Anatolyevich Komarov was born in the city of Engels, Saratov region, on May 25, 1964. That is, the new official is directly related to the Volga Federal District. In 1986, Komarov graduated from Moscow State University with a degree in economics and got a job in the department of the All-Russian Research Institute of Economic Problems of the Development of Science and Technology as an engineer.
Komarov has 3.5 years of service in the Armed Forces of the country, ten years of experience in senior positions in the banking sector (first vice president at Inkombank and the National Reserve Bank, deputy chairman of the board of the joint-stock commercial savings Bank of the Russian Federation), six years in the position of Deputy General Director of the metallurgical company Norilsk Nickel.
From 2008 to 2009, Igor Komarov was an adviser to the general director of the Rostec state corporation.
A wonderful career, but it gets more interesting. Having started working at AvtoVAZ OJSC in 2009 from the position of executive vice president for strategy, finance, economics and corporate governance, in the same year Komarov was elected president of the enterprise. And again, a tick opposite the item for activities for the benefit of the economy of the Volga Federal District.
During the five years of Igor Komarov's presidency at AvtoVAZ, the company had:
- 1. An anti-crisis program and a development program until 2020 have been developed and implemented;
2. The first domestic car with an automatic transmission, the Lada Granta, a car based on the Lada Largus alliance platform, and the new Lada Kalina were launched on the market;
3. Production of Nissan Almera was launched in Tolyatti, after which AvtoVAZ received the title of “multi-brand automaker”;
4. Production of Lada Granta has begun in the capital of Udmurtia;
5. Production of Datsun cars has been prepared.
As president of AvtoVAZ, Komarov became a holder of the Order of the Legion of Honor. In France, membership in the Order is the highest sign of distinction, honor and official recognition of special merit.
In 2013, by order of the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, Komarov was appointed to the position of Deputy Director of the Federal Space Agency. From 2014 to May 1018, Komarov served as head of Roscosmos.
You probably remember the story of 71 defective engines for the Proton launch vehicle, produced at the Voronezh Mechanical Plant in 2017. Then Komarov had to explain “soldering the engines with the wrong solder.” But this is a retreat.
In an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta in April 2018, Igor Anatolyevich announced the exploration of the Moon (the launch of three automatic stations in the period from 2019 to 2025, the construction of the Federation spacecraft and its first launch in 2022, as well as the launch of a launch vehicle in 2028 ). After practicing flights to the Moon, Komarov promised to send an expedition to the Red Planet. At the same time, Komarov bets on private investment in the space industry and wishes good luck to Elon Musk.
On May 24, 2018, without waiting for the conquest of the Moon, Igor Komarov was relieved of his post by decree of the President of the Russian Federation during the formation of a new government.
Komarov was then elected to the board of directors of the Rocket and Space Corporation Energia, and in July 2018, Dmitry Medvedev appointed him Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education. It was from this position that he arrived in the Volga Federal District to act as the plenipotentiary representative of the president.
Exclusively for statistics: in 2017, Igor Komarov’s declared income amounted to 108.6 million rubles.
All day long, the Nizhny Novgorod public has been discussing the appointment of a new Komarov in the Volga Federal District.
“Did anyone notice the presence of his predecessor?” Nizhny Novgorod residents say ironically.
It seems that the functionality of the presidential plenipotentiary representative in the Volga Federal District is not too obvious. For all those interested, a moment of political literacy.
In order to solve the tasks assigned to him, the authorized representative performs the following functions:
- - ensures coordination of the activities of federal executive authorities in the relevant federal district;
- - analyzes the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies in the federal district, as well as the state of staffing in these bodies, makes relevant proposals to the President of the Russian Federation;

Where was the New Year's corporate party for Sergei Kiriyenko's employees. Which presidential envoys are waiting to be replaced? Where can the current head of Roscosmos, Igor Komarov, be appointed? A discrediting information campaign was launched against which of the governors.
According to sources in the government apparatus, the Roscosmos state corporation may be merged with the Energia joint-stock company. In addition, the resources of the disbanded Spetsstroy of Russia will be transferred to the new corporation. But, as Kremlin sources say, the head of Roscosmos I Gor Komarov will not become the head of the new structure and will be transferred to another place of work. Perhaps for the post of governor of the Samara region, which has long been rumored. The new space structure may become part of the Rostec state corporation. Sergei Chemezov, as has already happened with Uralvagonzavod. If this happens, Chemezov will finally become the number one figure in the Russian defense industry, and his hardware weight will increase sharply.
First Deputy Head of the Administration Sergey Kiriyenko still has problems forming its own team, the evil Kremlin says. And this despite the New Year’s corporate party for employees of the departments under his control at the Illusion cinema with a buffet table, a screening of the new Russian blockbuster “Viking” in its adult version 18+ and the film’s producer and head of Channel 1 Konstantin Ernst as the guest of honor. During his three months of work at the AP, Kiriyenko barely managed to get only two representatives of his team into the internal policy department. After the New Year holidays, I finally started working at UVP Alexander Kharichev. But he, like another deputy head of the UVP who came from Rosatom, Sergey Novikov while working without an official order from the head of the Administration Anton Vaino. Meanwhile, in another department supervised by Kiriyenko - for public projects - the vacancies created after leaving the Ministry of Education and Science have still not been filled Olga Vasilyeva and several of its employees.
Assistant to the President of Russia for Personnel Evgenia Shkolova may be appointed as a plenipotentiary representative in the Ural Federal District instead of Igor Kholmanskikh. If the appointment takes place, it will become an honorary hardware link for Shkolov. Informed people in the Kremlin consider the transfer of Uralvagonzavod, of which Shkolov is the chairman of the board of directors, to the Rostec state corporation headed by Sergei Chemezov, a sign of further weakening of Shkolov’s position before the New Year. At the same time, Shkolov was entrusted with checking the activities of the general director of Uralvagonzavod. Oleg Sienko and will closely monitor how objectively he conducts it, since Sienko is considered his man. It is “in order to better fulfill this task, the Kremlin predicts that Shkolov may be exiled from Moscow to the Urals.
The plenipotentiary representative may also change in the Southern Federal District. About the possibility of resignation Vladimir Ustinov“Profile” has already reported, however, this personnel decision has a new background related to the struggle for the resources of Rosagroprom. Minister of Agriculture Alexander Tkachev may be moved to “Ustinov’s place” in the Southern Federal District, and the governor of the Novgorod region will be responsible for the agricultural industry in the government Sergey Mitin. Profile's sources in the AP see confirmation that he is in favor with the president in Putin's participation in the Christmas service at the St. George's Monastery and in his meeting with the fishermen of Lake Ilmen. But the same sources claim that Mitin is connected with Igor Sechin. The latter allegedly decided to intervene in the struggle for agricultural resources, and one of Mitin’s tasks at the Ministry of Agriculture will be to build a new agricultural market.
A campaign has been launched to discredit the governor of the Irkutsk region Sergei Levchenko as a possible successor Gennady Zyuganov as the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and a communist candidate in the future presidential elections in Russia, they say in expert and journalistic circles. A leak that Levchenko could become a communist candidate in 2018 has already been released into the information space. Prematurely presenting Levchenko as a competitor to Putin exposes him to fire both from the Kremlin and from opponents within the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. Allegedly, it is within the framework of this anti-Levchenko campaign that the media, since December last year, has been deliberately inflating the topic of the death of residents of Irkutsk due to the use of counterfeit alcohol-containing liquid “Hawthorn”.
Igor Anatolyevich Komarov was born in the city of Engels, Saratov region. He pulled out his lucky ticket when he managed to enter the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University, where he actually studied among the future financial elite. His close friends were Sergei Aleksashenko and Irina Yasina. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Yasina's father, a prominent economic figure and one of the active supporters of reforms, took a serious position in the offices of the new government. As a result, Igor Komarov, at his instigation, ended up at Inkombank, where he worked for almost six years and rose to the rank of chief accountant and first vice president.
In the mid-1990s, Aleksashenko was appointed first deputy chairman of the Central Bank, and Irina Yasina headed the public relations department in this institution. Under the direct eye of Sergei Vladimirovich, the market for government short-term bonds (GKOs) began to form, and it was during this period that Inkombank was noticed in speculation in this market. And since among the depositors of this bank there were also foreign citizens, around the same years, American law enforcement agencies began an investigation into facts of fraud on the part of the bank’s top management, which, of course, included Igor Komarov.
The unstable GKO market became one of the main reasons for the default of 1998, as a result of which, ironically, Inkombank itself ceased to exist. When the struggle for the legacy of the bankrupt credit institution began, Igor Komarov and a number of financiers went to the National Reserve Bank (NRB), which was preparing to sanitize Inkombank and hoped to receive a loan from the Central Bank for this. However, Igor Anatolyevich Komarov could no longer count on his connections with the Central Bank, since after the default its board was completely changed, so the NRB never received the long-awaited loan and abandoned its plans.
After this, Igor Komarov, according to some information, supported the oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov, who headed Rosbank, which was claiming the right to carry out the bankruptcy of Inkombank. Igor Komarov himself soon moved to Sberbank. He was invited there under the patronage of the same Aleksashenko, who for a long time held the post of first deputy chairman of the Supervisory Board of Sberbank.
Igor Komarov and Norilsk Nickel
However, soon Prokhorov, who at that time headed MMC Norilsk Nickel, needed a competent specialist capable of resolving issues in the interests of his patrons. Prokhorov invited Igor Komarov to the position of his deputy in order to transfer to him the financial policy of the company. Before this, these issues were the responsibility of his other deputy, Dmitry Zelenin, who was considered a protege of Norilsk Nickel co-owner Vladimir Potanin.
Prokhorov had serious disagreements with Zelenin, and he managed not only to win over the main functionality to Igor Komarov’s side, but also, over time, to completely survive Potanin’s creature from the company. Zelenin’s patrons then, as compensation, agreed on his candidacy for the post of governor of the Tver region. The head of Norilsk Nickel was so pleased with Igor Anatolyevich Komarov that he made him one of his closest associates. In those years, they could be observed in the same company, not only in their offices, but also during their joint recreation. It was Igor Komarov who was captured next to the oligarch in a scandalous photograph from Courchevel, when a whole plane of escort girls was booked for the party.
At the end of the 2000s, the state corporation Rostekhnologii was formed in the country, which became a major customer of raw materials from Norilsk Nickel. At the same time, the general director of the corporation began to have plans for a blocking stake in the company. To do this, he not only tried to get on the board of directors of the metallurgical corporation through VEB, which had a quota for one seat, but also established contact with Igor Anatolyevich Komarov, who, due to his duty, was in close contact with the management of Russian Technologies.
Igor Komarov and Avovaz
Chemezov’s plans were not destined to come true, but he lured a top manager from Norilsk Nickel to become his adviser. Igor Komarov held this position for about a year, until Chemezov had plans to take the Togliatti AvtoVAZ under his influence. Initially, Igor Komarov was introduced into the automobile concern as vice president for strategy, finance, economics and corporate governance, and then headed the enterprise altogether. Moreover, he came in during the crisis years, when AvtoVAZ regularly had conflicts with suppliers, to whom the plant offered the company’s bills of exchange instead of paying them. All this led to the fact that the conveyor stood idle for months.
Igor Komarov came with an anti-crisis plan and demanded carte blanche for personnel policy. During the first year, nine company vice presidents left the company. Igor Anatolyevich Komarov replaced them mainly with people from Norilsk Nickel. In particular, Oleg Lobanov, deputy director of the metallurgical company for economics and finance, and another native of the Norilsk enterprise, Grigory Khvorostyanov, came to key positions. Naturally, the new managers had a conflict with the “old guard” of the plant. Some AvtoVAZ old-timers, when leaving, gathered a work team in the hope of finding support from their colleagues. In total, a phased reduction of almost thirty thousand employees was announced
The new top managers had to not only bring the enterprise out of its difficult situation, but also monitor the expenditure of budget funds in the amount of 25 billion rubles allocated by the government to support the plant. However, the remaining representatives of the old team began to do their best to prevent their colleagues from accessing this money. In addition, Igor Komarov quickly found enemies outside, unsuccessfully trying to absorb IzhAvto’s competitors, as a result of which the Izhevsk plant refused to supply components to AvtoVAZ.
And yet, Igor Anatolyevich Komarov successfully coped with some tasks, primarily those that directly related to his patrons. In particular, AvtoVAZ signed a major contract with a certain company “Kate”, which supplies automatic transmissions. The contract was signed even though the gearbox production plant had not yet been completed. The secret of the automobile concern’s predisposition to “Katya” lay in the founders of the company, 70% of the shares of which belonged to Sergei Chemezov’s wife, Ekaterina Ignatova.
Igor Anatolyevich Komarov partially managed to reverse the situation at the plant. Under him, the first domestic car with an automatic transmission, the Lada Granta, a car on the Lada Largus alliance platform, and the new Lada Kalina were launched onto the market. In addition, production of Nissan Almera was launched in Tolyatti. Within a year of Igor Komarov’s work, car sales increased from 350 thousand to 550 thousand units. This was facilitated by the old car recycling program, which allowed the buyer of a Lada to receive a discount on a new car.
In 2011, the plant sold 578 thousand cars, revenue increased by 27.6%, and profit amounted to 3.1 billion rubles. However, experts argued that this profit was so-called “paper” and was obtained in the accounting reports as a result of state support for the enterprise. Since the debt repayment period was constantly extended and was eventually postponed to 2032, the plant, relieved of the burden of interest on this loan, according to financial reporting standards, recorded this money as profit.
Over time, the head of the city's largest enterprise gradually became not only a technocratic, but also a political figure. When Mikhail Prokhorov headed the Right Cause party in 2011, rumors appeared in the public space that Igor Komarov could become his supporter. These conversations fueled the oligarch's plans to create the Yo-mobile car, while AvtoVAZ could provide an industrial base for this project. And in 2012, Sergei Andreev, a member of Prokhorov’s party, became the mayor of Togliatti. Thus, the Andreev-Komarov combination could seriously influence the layout of elections at various levels. In addition, Andreev enjoyed the support of the ex-vice-governor, who became the chief federal inspector for the Samara region, Alexei Bendusov, and State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein.
Igor Anatolyevich Komarov himself, on the eve of the elections to the Togliatti Duma, did not at all strive to get into Prokhorov’s party, but was going to head the Samara regional division of the All-Russian Popular Front (ONF). Thus, under the ONF brand, Igor Komarov and Andreev could try to get deputies loyal to themselves into the city parliament. In addition, precinct and territorial election commissions began to consist mostly of AvtoVAZ members.
However, the ONF was considered a zone of influence by the governor of the Samara region, who saw the director of the automobile plant as a potential threat. Merkushkin at that time had just come to the region from Mordovia and immediately began to bend the local elite to his favor.
Therefore, in the Saratov region they were already thinking about supporting an alternative candidate. In turn, for Igor Anatolyevich Komarov, the question of finding a new position arose after Chemezov gave a controlling stake in AvtoVAZ to the French company Renault-Nissan, whose representatives began to insist on changing the management of the plant.
Igor Komarov and Roscosmos
However, Chemezov found another career continuation for his protégé. Thanks to his serious influence in the space industry, in which many enterprises cooperate with Rostec, he managed to lobby for the appointment of Igor Komarov to the position of deputy head of Roscosmos. At this time, after a series of failures in this industry, a whole reform was launched.
In 2014, the United Rocket and Space Corporation (URSC) was separated from the system, which was to act as the main contractor of the Federal Space Agency. Igor Komarov headed the ORKK, but a year after that he moved to the position of head of the Federal Agency itself and initiated the reverse process of merging the two structures into one.
As in the case of AvtoVAZ, they tried to make Igor Anatolyevich Komarov an anti-crisis leader and simply the savior of the entire industry. However, the problems of “Russian space” have not gone away. No sooner had Igor Komarov taken the helm of the corporation than, due to problems with the booster, it was not possible to properly launch the Kanopus-ST satellite into orbit. The satellite was lost and exploded in the dense layers of the atmosphere. Later, Roscosmos found itself with more than seventy defective engines produced at the Voronezh Mechanical Plant.
You can also recall the unsuccessful rocket launch, which was the first in the history of the new Vostochny cosmodrome. But then the rocket was launched, at least on the second attempt. But a year later, when the second rocket was launched from Vostochny, the Meteor-M satellite was never launched into orbit. At the same time, a conflict emerged between the leadership of Roscosmos and the then Deputy Prime Minister in charge of the space industry, which had been latent for a long time. Igor Anatolyevich Komarov refuted Rogozin’s conclusions about the causes of the emergency situation, and the Deputy Prime Minister in response criticized the management decisions of the state corporation’s management and the quality control system at its enterprises. As a result, in December 2017, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev received from his deputy a devastating report on the state of affairs in the industry, putting a resolution on it asking for organizational and personnel measures to be taken against those responsible.
After this incident, rumors spread that Igor Komarov might leave Roscosmos and head the Voronezh region instead of Alexei Gordeev. However, drastic personnel changes did not immediately follow. But Rogozin, himself in limbo, since after the presidential elections he risked leaving the Government, made another attempt. At the very beginning of 2018, he prepared a new report in which he proposed his candidacy as a replacement for Igor Komarov. This time he received approval from both the Prime Minister and the President himself, and began to assemble a team of specialists who left Roscosmos under Komarov.
Igor Anatolyevich Komarov
As a result, in May 2018, Rogozin actually replaced Igor Komarov as general director of Roscosmos. Igor Anatolyevich Komarov himself held the post of Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education until the fall, until Chemezov secured for him the position of Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Volga Federal District, where Sergei Viktorovich has serious interests.
But scandals related to Roskomos continued to haunt the newly appointed plenipotentiary. First, the intelligence services found a data leak in the space research institute, which occurred under Igor Komarov. Rogozin then made a statement that someone had deliberately made holes in the skin of the International Space Station. Moreover, if at first it was said that the damage to the casing was caused in space, then a version appeared that it could have been caused on the ground, which again cast a shadow on the previous leadership.
To top it all off, rumors appeared that Igor Komarov, together with Chemezov, could withdraw money from Fondservisbank, which is associated with Roscosmos. Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had previously suspected the bank of withdrawing 100 billion rubles abroad. In 2015, when Igor Komarov came to Roscosmos, a temporary administration was introduced at the bank, and 66 billion rubles were allocated for its reorganization. At the same time, another 47 billion rubles were previously stuck in Fondservisbank, which were invested in various shareholder projects. As a result, full control over the bank then passed from Roscosmos to Novikombank. And when Igor Anatolyevich Komarov left the state corporation, Fondservisbank was returned under its wing, but without money for reorganization and in a sadder state.
Igor Anatolyevich Komarov, being a “chick” of the “liberal nest,” managed to run under the wing of the head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov, who is attributed to the “siloviki” camp. And if earlier he held senior positions in large banks and Norilsk Nickel, then still owned by oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov, then thanks to Chemezov he found himself at the head of first AvtoVAZ and then Roscosmos. This demand for Igor Komarov is explained by his ability to adapt to the specific tasks of his patrons. And, despite the fact that Igor Anatolyevich Komarov always left dark spots behind him, today he again received a work offer, this time to head the embassy in the Volga Federal District.
