Former German federal chancellor Gerhard Schröder has become a member of the supervisory board of the Russian company Hyperglobus, which operates a supermarket chain. Information about his new role was published on Friday, October 2, 2026. hnonline.sk ↗
Hyperglobus previously belonged to the German retail group Globus Holding. The Russian company separated from this group in 2025. Schröder thus obtained a seat on the board of a company that continues operating supermarkets on the Russian market. teraz.sk ↗
The former German chancellor has long been considered a close friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin. After leaving German politics, he worked for several Russian energy companies and maintained contacts with Moscow officials. At the same time, he has not condemned Moscow for its aggression against Ukraine in the past. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
Schröder served as German federal chancellor before Angela Merkel. His relationship with Putin and his roles in Russian companies have already provoked criticism in Germany and beyond in the past. His latest engagement with Hyperglobus once again links his name to the Russian business environment. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
Details about the scope of his duties on the supervisory board, as well as the conditions of his role at the company, have not yet been disclosed. Hyperglobus remains active in the Russian retail sector following its separation from the German group Globus Holding.
