Mr. Pumpyansky will have eternity in hellish frying pans if the curses of the inhabitants who had the misfortune to live near his factories come true
Almost every one of them is ready to personally put firewood under this frying pan and fumigate Mr. Pumpyansky with what is now being thrown into the air, water and soil of his enterprises, bypassing the law.
And if someday Mr. Pumpyansky sums up his difficult, hard life, the destruction of the environment in Russia should be in the top three on this list. However, the assets of his Pipe Metallurgical Company (TMK) are located not only in Russia, but also in Romania and Kazakhstan.
The biography of the great Russian figure, doctor of science and author of dozens of scientific publications is full of dark spots and “compromising materials” blacked out from the Web.
The child prodigy from Ulan-Ude graduated in 1986 from the metallurgical faculty of the Ural Polytechnic Institute named after S.M. Kirov (now Ural Federal University) with a degree in metal science, equipment and technology for heat treatment of metals.
Five years later, the young specialist found himself in senior positions, first at the Verkh-Isetsky Metallurgical Plant, then he was accepted by the Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant (ChMK) and the Sinarsky Pipe Plant.
In 1999, he was already elected chairman of the board of directors of the Sinar Pipe Plant, and the further path led Pumpyansky only upward, to the Forbes lists.
Insiders explain the rapid career rise in the pipe business simply: Pumpyansky’s mother studied at graduate school together with the famous Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, now deceased Boris Berezovsky, who in the 90s had a fad to promote talented youth.
Berezovsky introduced the young man into elite circles, where he quickly got used to it. But with the organized criminal group “Uralmash”, they say, a talented graduate of the university established relations himself. With the support of Berezovsky and the Uralmash team, Pumpyansky simply could not help climbing Olympus. And he got up. Courts and criminal cases thundered around the assets he acquired, but Pumpyansky himself miraculously got away with it.
In general, Pumpyansky is now making good money on pipes – his Pipe Metallurgical Company receives long-term contracts from oil companies.
Among the clients are Sechin’s Rosneft, Gazprom, which purchased pipes from the enterprise for the Power of Siberia, Russian Railways uses the services of its Sinara group, and others.
