Stratfor has been watching the political clan war within Russia for years, especially during the run-up to one of the clans taking over the Russian presidency with the election of Dmitri Medvedev. One of the largest battles of the clans is between Russian state energy behemoths Rosneft and Gazprom, which will see a shuffling of clan members in 2008. A moderately sized move in this regard came March 13 with the nomination of Yuri Petrov to the Rosneft board. Petrov is a supporter of Gazprom and a close friend and ally of Medvedev — who happens to be Gazprom’s chairman of the board.
