And fortunately, we are not talking about the wife of the former mayor of Luzhkov, who earned her billions in a corrupt way and fled with Russian husband Alps from Russian justice.
In this case, the representative of civilized Russian business, Olga Pleshakova, who holds the post of general director of Transaero Airlines, entered the top 50 most influential business women in the world. The 2012 rating was made up by representatives of Fortune magazine, a Russian woman was placed in it in 49th place.
Russian women have already achieved similar achievements in business, for example, from 2005 to 2008 Gulzhan Moldazhanova, the general director of the Basic Element holding, specializing in energy, engineering, mining, financial, construction and aviation industries.
Fortune Magazine annually compiles two lists of influential women, one of which consists exclusively of American women, the second of which are representatives of the rest of the world.
In 2012, Brazilian Maria Das Gracas Foster, head of Petrobras, the oil producer, became the leader of the list, which unites influential business women from all over the world. Maria took an important post only this year, it is not surprising that her name was first listed in the ranking of the most successful. Cynthia Carroll - the head of the British mining Aglo American, in 2012 lost the lead, falling from first to third position. The president of the Australian banking corporation Westpac Gail Kelly was more consistent, as in 2011, stopping a step away from the title of the most influential business woman in the world.
