Prosperity Capital Management, the largest Russia-focused equity investor, has invested $120 million, or 10 percent of its total fund, in Gazprom, buying shares in the gas export monopoly for the first time in 13 years as they trade near record lows.
Mattias Westman, Prosperity’s chief executive, who helps manage $4.5 billion, said in an interview Nov. 19 that “these gigantic hydrocarbon producers are not very pretty, but the potential is substantial when you get them this cheap.”

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
