Four applicants took part in the procedure, the Federal Property Management Agency noted. “Based on the results of the auction, a purchase and sale agreement will be concluded with the buyer, and the funds will be transferred to the federal budget,” the department added.

The first auction for Strukov’s former assets, including a share in the Southern Gas Company, did not take place due to a lack of applications. The second auction, announced in the Dutch auction format, was also declared invalid, since only one bidder, who was not named, was recognized as a participant, while the application from the Russian Coals company was rejected. At the beginning of June, the third auction also did not take place due to the fact that the only bidder did not make a deposit.
