Anatoly Novikovo
Anatoly Novikovo
Anatoly Novikovo was born in Moscow, Russia. He was the founder of the massive oil corporation SovOil, as well as the father of Yevgeny Novikovo and Neonila Novikovo.
Large, loud, and ostentatious, Anatoly looks exactly like the Western idea of a Russian oligarch.
He wears bright and expensive shirts open to the navel, drapes himself in gold jewelry,
and favors expensive cars, strong alcohol, and beautiful women. But those who know him
well recall an earlier Anatoly: a rather faceless bureaucrat who used to wear shabby suits
and scrupulously horded his money to the point of miserliness. This has a lot of important
people wondering, is this the real Anatoly Novaragov going through a midlife crisis? Is this
a clever ruse put on by the Central Committee to distract its Petrochem enemies? Or could
it be an actor taking the place of a Novaragov long ago buried behind the dacha of a powerful political rival
on the Committee itself? No one knows, and no one's talking. Even Anatoly's ex-wife, Irina, has been quiet on
the subject, although a astronomically generous divorce settlement may have had a lot to do with her reticence.
What hasn't changed about the current Anatoly Novaragov (whatever his provenance) is his reputation for
ruthlessness. Even before he took on his peacock finery, he was well known as a cunning operator who leveraged
a number of connections with the old KGB and the fearsome Bratva (Russian mafia) to make enemies and rivals
disappear without a trace. Or to sometimes resurface months later as collections of unidentifiable body parts
liberally strewn in parks all over his native city of St. Petersburg. Don't let the flashy side of SovOil's "Face" fool
you; he can play nasty with the best of them.

Personal history
In 1996, the president of the Soviet Federation Andrei Gorborev re-structured the centrally-controlled Soviet oil industry. Soviet republics were arguing over how much control to hand over to the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, and no progress was being made.
In order to facilitate the restructuring, Gorborev named Anatoly Novikovo as the Director of the State Oil Industries Subcommittee. Novikovo, a Siberian delegate to the Central Committee, represented a large oil-producing region. One of the first things Novikovo did to ensure success was promoting Yarno Kurgasyn, a delegate from another large oil-producing region (Kazakhstan) to be his deputy director. With two representatives of large oil-producing regions heading the subcommittee, the committee would eventually be able to successfully push for a consolidated Soviet oil industry, where all of the oil production in the USSR could be controlled by a single corporation - Soviet State Oil Industries.
