Major Russian energy companies have been trying to delay or opt out of the government’s ambitious privatization program ahead of an imminent power change in the Kremlin. Russia's outgoing president Dmitry Medvedev ordered more aggressive privatization of state stakes in key companies last June, as he pushed to attract “smart investments” to further his modernization agenda.

Many state-owned companies, however, have been resisting the move and some, especially in the energy sector, have adopted a wait-and-see attitude.
