Andrei Volgin is a Russian businessman who came to prominence as a player in the early Russian securities market in the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Andrei Volgin began his career in finance in the late 1980s at Moscow State University, graduating with a degree in economics. ==Business Ventures== In October 1992 Andrei Volgin established Adamant Financial Corporation, one of the post-communist Russia's first private equity and corporate restructuring firms. In November 1994, after building up a 39% stake in Russian rubber maker Yaroslavl Rezinotechnika, he persuaded shareholders to give him control in the company, making it one of Russia's first-ever takeovers. In a daytime meeting that lasted until midnight, nearly 90% of the assembly voted to install Volgin's choice as director. By 1995 he controlled 8 of 11 seats on the board and named his father president. A spin-off company called Adamant Advisory Services was involved in purchasing Russian telecommunications outfits from Metromedia in 2003.〔(Metromedia Sells Russian Assets ) Light Reading, April 3, 2003〕〔(Is Russian Opportunity Knocking? ) Light Reading, April 9, 2003〕 In 1999 Volgin and his wife Elena founded Adamant Media Corporation, one of the world's largest publishers of old and rare book reprints, with over 60,000 titles in many languages.
