Sechin has been a confidant of Russian leader Vladimir Putin since the early 1990s.

From 1991 to 1996, he worked at Saint Petersburg mayor's office, and became a chief of staff of the first deputy mayor, Vladimir Putin in 1994.

Sechin was chief of staff to Putin when he was the deputy mayor of St. Petersburg in 1994.

1996

From 1996 to 1997, Sechin served as a deputy of Vladimir Putin, who worked in the presidential property management department.

1997

From 1997 to 1998, Sechin was the chief of the general department of the main control directorate attached to the president, led by Putin.

1999

In August 1999, he was appointed head of the secretariat of the prime minister of Russia, Putin.

From 24 November 1999 until 11 January 2000, Sechin was the first deputy chief of the Russian presidential administration.

Between 31 December 1999 and May 2008, he was deputy chief of Putin's administration.

2000

When Putin became President in 2000, Sechin became his deputy chief of staff, overseeing security services and energy issues in Russia.

2004

Putin appointed Sechin as chairman of Rosneft, the Russian state oil company in 2004.

On 27 July 2004, Sechin became the successful and influential chairman of the board of directors of JSC Rosneft, which swallowed up the assets of jailed tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky's Yukos.

2008

He was as Deputy Prime Minister of Russia in Vladimir Putin's cabinet from 2008 to 2012.

He is currently the chief executive officer, president and chairman of the management board of Rosneft.

Sechin is often described as one of Putin's most conservative counselors and the leader of the Kremlin's Siloviki faction, a lobby gathering former security services agents.

He has been sanctioned by some foreign governments following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

His nickname is Darth Vader.

In May 2008, he was appointed by President Dmitry Medvedev as a deputy prime minister in a move considered as a demotion.

According to Stratfor, "Sechin acts as boss of Russia's gigantic state oil company Rosneft and commands the loyalty of the FSB. Thus, he represents the FSB's hand in Russia's energy sector."

In 2008, Sechin allegedly blocked the replacement of the AAR consortium with Gazprom in the TNK-BP joint venture.

In 2008, Sechin was involved with the BP oil company and did private negotiations with the BP's CEO Bob Dudley.

In 2008, Hugo Chávez said that the idea for Venezuelan nuclear energy program came from Sechin.

Sechin negotiated deals on weapons and nuclear technology deliveries to Venezuela.

2009

In July 2009, Sechin negotiated deals with Cuba that brought Russia into deep-water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

Sechin also presides over the board of directors of the United Shipbuilding Corporation, and helped with negotiations with France over the purchase of four Mistral-class ships.

Sechin argued that two ships should be constructed in Russia and two in France, as opposed to the initial offer that only one be constructed in Russia.

Piotr Żochowski, of the Polish Center for Eastern Studies, argued that "it cannot be ruled out that Sechin's stance on this issue results from his personal financial involvement in the St Petersburg shipbuilding industry".

2011

On 12 April 2011, Sechin resigned from the board of Rosneft upon President Medvedev's 31 March 2011 order for senior officials to resign from large companies.

2012

He has additionally been president of Rosneft since May 2012.

Khodorkovsky has accused Sechin of plotting to have him arrested and plundering his oil company: "The second as well as the first case were organised by Sechin. He orchestrated the first case against me out of greed and the second out of cowardice."

After Vladimir Putin became President of Russia in May 2012, he later resigned as vice prime minister on 21 May 2012 and rejoined the executive board of Rosneft as chairman and became the executive secretary for the Russia Federation's commission on the development strategy of the fuel and energy complex and environmental safety (комиссии по вопросам стратегии развития ТЭКа и экологической безопасности) in June.

2014

In December 2014, a CNBC article noted that Sechin is "widely believed to be Russia's second-most powerful person" after President Putin.

2016

The Steele dossier alleged that Sechin met with Carter Page in 2016 as a representative of the Donald Trump presidential campaign, and offered Trump the brokerage of a 19.6% private share in Rosneft in exchange for lifting sanctions imposed following the 2014 Russian intervention in Ukraine.

2017

In December 2017, The Guardian noted that Sechin "is widely seen as the second most powerful man in Russia after Vladimir Putin".

2019

The 2019 Mueller Report did not corroborate those allegations, and neither Page nor Sechin were indicted with any crime.

Sechin was instrumental in the arrest and trial of Putin's former minister of economy, Alexei Ulyukaev, charged and found guilty of soliciting a bribe from Sechin.

The verdict was delivered after hearing testimony from Sechin in a closed trial, and is another indicator, according to the Financial Times, of the power wielded by Sechin in Russian politics.
