NORILSK NICKEL PLANS TO RECRUIT UNITED RUSSIA PARTY EXECUTIVE

摘要

MOSCOW. (Interfax) - MMC Norilsk Nickel plans to recruit Yury Oleinikov, deputy head of United Russia party's executive committee, a source at the mining and smelting giant told Interfax on August 6. "Talks are indeed being conducted, but the appointment has not yet been made," the source said. The source said he could not say when Oleinikov might be appointed because "the procedure for coordinating his move from United Russia to Norilsk Nickel is unclear." Vyacheslav Volodin, secretary to the presidium of the party's general council, said earlier on August 6 that Oleinikov could work in some capacity at Norilsk Nickel. "Oleinikov has received an offer, and this is being discussed. As far as I know he's leaning towards accepting," Volodin told reporters.
