In 2002, Medvedev received a new highpurpose. He became the general director of a subsidiary of Gazprom, which exports energy. At the same time, he joined the board of Gazprom, the largest transnational corporation in the field of energy.

Within the framework of the project it was planned to build a gas pipeline along the bottom of the Black Sea, so that gas from Russia would come to the Balkan Peninsula and Austria. However, in this form the project was never implemented.

Medvedev Alexander Ivanovich, Gazprom for whombecame a serious place to realize its professional potential, since 2009 began to lose its influence in the company. At some point, Alexei Miller allows himself an open shot of his deputy: "Is not it too much for you, is not it hard?" Hinting that Medvedev began to occupy too prominent a place in Gazprom.

On the sidelines of Gazprom, they started talking about the fact that Medvedev no longer manages the situation, let things go on its own. The proceeds of the concern began to fall. The so-called "gas war" with Ukraine put the last point in the cooperation between Medvedev and Gazprom. In 2011 Alexander Ivanovich left the concern and Gazprom export.
