Street in Chechnya Named after RussNeft President Mikhail Gutseriev

One of the streets in the village of Goity in the Urus-Martanovsky region of Chechnya has been named after the well-known Russian businessman Mikhail Gutseriev. The decision was taken at the gathering of the elders in the village of Goity as an acknowledgement of the contribution of Russia’s businessman in the revival of Chechnya. In April 2004 NK RussNeft OAO and the authorities of the Republic of Chechnya signed a cooperation agreement specifying large-scale support on the part of the company in tackling the most difficult social issues of Chechnya.
Among the most important social projects being implemented by Gutseriev’s RussNeft there is construction of a 540 pupil school in Grozny, donation of 70 ambulances to the Health Ministry of the Republic and  annual New Year presents for children in Chechnya.
Successful implementation of the agreement providing for construction of a school and a number of other charitable actions has served as basis for the decision on giving the name of Gutseriev to one of the streets in the Republic as was explained at the administration.
For information, RussNeft President Mikhail Gutseriev is the first businessman of the present-day Russia whose name was given to a street in the country.
