CEO of VK Group

Australian Sanctions Consolidated List,

Former First Vice President of the Russian State-controlled company Rostelecom (2017-2021)

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

The Russian government is increasing its influence over media and social networks. VK Company is controlled by Gazprom Media (a State-owned company which is the major source of income to the Russian Government). Vladimir Sergeevich Kiriyenko therefore supports Vladimir Putin’s aim for greater control over the internet. Vladimir Kiriyenko therefore actively supports, materially or financially, or benefits from Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea or the destabilisation of Ukraine.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Function: CEO of VK Company Limited, the parent company of Russia’s top social media platform, VKontakte.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Former Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nizhegorodpromstroybank (2008-2011)

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

As VK Company is owned by the State-owned Gazprom group, the revenue it generates is an important source of revenue for the Russian Government. Vladimir Kiriyenko is the son of Sergei Kiriyenko, currently First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Office. Sergei Kiriyenko is reported to be Vladimir Putin’s domestic policy curator.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Chairman of the Board of Directors of LLC Capital since 2011

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Vladimir Sergeevich KIRIYENKO is the CEO of VK Company Limited. VK Company Limited is a Russian internet company, with a major presence in the Russian speaking segment of internet. VK projects collectively had the largest audience in Russia and captured the most screen time. VK's sites reach more than 90 % of Russian internet users on a monthly basis and the company is in the top 5 of largest internet companies, based on the number of total pages viewed. It controls and operates the three largest and most popular Russian social networking sites, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and Moi Mir, as well as the email service and internet portal mail.ru. Vladimir Sergeevich KIRIYENKO is therefore involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Vladimir Sergeevich KIRIYENKO est le PDG de VK Company Limited. VK Company Limited est une société russe de l'internet, qui occupe une place importante dans le segment russophone de l'internet. Collectivement, ce sont les projets de VK qui ont eu la plus large audience en Russie et capté le plus de temps d'écran. Sur une base mensuelle, plus de 90% des internautes russes consultent les sites de VK et l'entreprise figure parmi les cinq plus grandes sociétés de l'internet, si l'on considère le nombre total de pages consultées. VK Company contrôle et exploite les trois sites de réseaux sociaux russes les plus importants et les plus populaires que sont VKontakte, Odnoklassniki et Moi Mir, ainsi que le service de messagerie électronique et le portail internet mail.ru. Vladimir Sergeevich KIRIYENKO intervient donc dans des secteurs économiques qui constituent une source substantielle de revenus pour le gouvernement de la Fédération de Russie. Le gouvernement russe renforce son influence sur les médias et les réseaux sociaux. VK Company est contrôlée par Gazprom Media (une entreprise publique, qui est la principale source de revenus du gouvernement russe). Vladimir Sergeevich Kiriyenko soutient donc l'objectif de Vladimir Poutine de renforcer le contrôle de l'internet. Vladimir Kiriyenko apporte donc un soutien matériel ou financier actif aux décideurs russes responsables de l'annexion de la Crimée ou de la déstabilisation de l'Ukraine, ou en tire avantage. Étant donné que VK Company est détenue par le groupe public Gazprom, les recettes qu'elle génère constituent une source importante de revenus pour le gouvernement russe. Vladimir Kiriyenko est le fils de Sergei Kiriyenko, actuellement premier chef adjoint du cabinet présidentiel. Sergei Kiriyenko serait celui qui supervise la politique intérieure pour Vladimir Poutine.
