Abstract
The domestic consolidation of aluminium assets is the main issue addressed in this chapter, which examines key market-related developments and how they influenced the decisions of private owners of Russian aluminium assets. After a period of chaotic redistribution of assets in the 1990 s, the structure of the industry changed: an aluminium duopoly was established in Russia, with Rusal controlling 75%of production and SUAL the remaining 25%. This period was also characterized by heated debate on the World Trade Organization, with oligarch Oleg Deripaska as the main opponent of Russia’s joining this international body.
