On February 27, 2001 he was elected vice-president of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.

In September 2002 he started and ran Russneft.

By 2007, Russneft was in the top-10 for Russian oil companies, with oil production of 14.8 million tonnes per year (300,000 bbls/day), 2 refineries and the biggest network of retail stations. At this point, Russneft's yearly net profit was in the region of $1Bn.

A non-profit charitable organization "Charity Fund- SAFMAR" was established September 16, 2013. The fund was established by JSC "RussNeft", headed by Mikhail Gutseriev. This organization continues church-building projects and restoration of churches; along with other culture, arts, and education endeavors in Russia.

== Family==
Guteriev is married, and had one daughter and two sons.<ref>{{cite news|title=Гуцериев, Михаил|url=https://lenta.ru/lib/14163202/full/#67|accessdate=30 March 2016|work=Lenta.ru|language=ru}}</ref> His eldest son, 22-year-old Chingis Gutseriev died suddenly at home on 22 August 2007. On this day he had been involved in a minor car accident. After which he made his way home, called relatives to say that he was fine, went to sleep, and died from heart failure. There was no data on a car accident in the bulletins of the Office of Internal Affairs.<ref>[http://www.gazeta.ru/social/2007/08/23/2083281.shtml Смерть без протокола // Газета.Ru, 23 августа 2007]</ref>

His youngest son, Said, was educated at [[Harrow School]] and [[Oxford University]]. On 26 March 2016, 28-year-old Said Gutseriev married 20-year-old student Khadija Uzhakhova in Moscow. The lavish wedding party was rumoured to have cost up to $1 billion, with the bride wearing a $1 million dress designed by [[Elie Saab]], and [[Jennifer Lopez]], [[Enrique Iglesias]] and [[Sting (musician)|Sting]] among the performers.<ref>{{cite news|title=Jennifer Lopez and Sting sing at wedding of Russian billionaire's son|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/12207014/Jennifer-Lopez-and-Sting-sing-at-wedding-of-Russian-billionaires-son.html|accessdate=30 March 2016|work=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|date=30 March 2016}}</ref>

== Fight ==
In 2007, Gutseriyev fell into a conflict with Murat Zyazikov, the president of Ingushetia. At the end of July 2007, Mikhail Gutseriev publicly revealed that unprecedented pressure was being put on him by the Russian government, and announced the sale of Russneft to ''Bazovy Element'' (Basic Element), a holding company owned by [[Oleg Deripaska]], a businessman loyal to the Kremlin. Gutseriev quit his post as president of Russneft and announced his retirement from business activities (aside from Russneft, he held a 50% stake in a company named Russian Coal, etc.), and his entry into science.<ref>Gutseriev goes into science. Businessman announces sell-off of all he owns // Vedomosti, No. 140 (1914), July 31, 2007 (Russian)</ref><ref>[http://www.vz.ru/economy/2007/7/31/97821.html Гуцериев научит // Взгляд, 31 июля 2007]</ref>

According to some sources, the pressure brought to bear on Mikhail Gutseriev by the Russian power structure was a result of his financial opposition to the current president of Ingushetia, [[Murat Zyazikov]].<ref>Person of the Week: Observer // Vedomosti No. 149 (1923), August 13, 2007</ref>

On October 18, 2008, Gutseriev was believed to be living in Great Britain and Russia had requested his extradition.<ref>October 6, 2008 article in the Kommersant online daily. http://www.kommersant.com/p-13343/r_529/Mikhail_Gutseriev_Russneft/</ref>

== Arrest warrant ==
On August 28, 2007 the Tver Court in Moscow issued a warrant for the arrest in absentia of Gutseriyev in response to a petition from the investigative committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.<ref>[http://www.rian.ru/society/20070828/75377164.html Сообщение РИА Новости]</ref>

The arrest warrant was cancelled by the court on October 27, 2009.<ref>[http://www.interfax.ru/business/txt.asp?id=107299 Гуцериев оправдан]</ref> The charge of tax evasion was dropped, and that led to his warrant being cancelled, but he apparently still faces the charge of "illegal entrepreneurship" (the top punishment on that charge is below 5 years, house arrest is the usual measure for "less serious" crimes like that and arrest warrants are not issued.)<ref>[http://www.interfax.ru/business/txt.asp?id=109436 Гуцериев может спать спокойно?]</ref>

== Return to Russia ==

In 2010, after all charges were dropped against him, Gutseriyev returned to Russia. He subsequently bought back his old oil company Russneft.<ref>[http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/27/us-russneft-sberbank-stake-idUSBRE98Q0DW20130927] Reuters, SOCHI, Russia Fri Sep 27, 2013 By Katya Golubkova</ref> Other oil companies he owns include Neftisa.<ref>[http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/gutseriyev-adding-assets-to-oil-firm-neftisa/491329.html Gutseriyev Adding Assets to Oil Firm Neftisa] The Moscow Times, Dec. 11 2013 14:37</ref> He has bought a number of hotels in central Moscow.<ref>[http://www.1prime.biz/news/_Gutseriyev_buys_Hotel_National_for_5_bln_rbl_from_Moscow_govt/0/%7B2E543788-8007-4AA1-B05B-4C428456FAC9%7D.uif Gutseriyev buys Hotel National for 5 bln rbl from Moscow govt]</ref>

== Government and social awards ==
The [[Order of Friendship]], the [[Order of the Badge of Honour]], the [[Medal "For Labour Valour"]], the [[Medal "For Distinguished Labour"]] and the FSB Medal "For Distinction in Special Operations". He won the Peter the Great National Prize, as well as being named "Best Mayor of the Year" by the magazine ''Kompaniya''. Mikhail Gutseriev was honored with the Philanthropist of the Year of Culture award in 2014, as Saratov region proposed his candidacy for his support of the expansion of [[Saratov Regional College of Art]].,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.russneft.ru/eng/pressabout/?id=201773|title=Campus of the College of Arts was solemnly opened in Saratov, sponsored by RussNeft|date=29 December 2014|accessdate=24 November 2015}}</ref>

For widespread charitable aid to religious organizations, war veterans, orphanages, educational and cultural organizations Mikhail Gutseriev has been awarded with order signs, diplomas and letters of gratitude from President of the Russian Federation, President of the Belarus Republic, Patriarch of All Russia, Chairman of [[Russia Muftis Council]], Chief Rabbi of Russia and Jewish Communities Federation leaders, officials of a number of Russian regions, leaders of some state, public and power organizations of this country.
