About Vladimir Shkolnik

Born 1949. Vladimir Shkolnik is a Russian and Kazakh physicist and politician.

Vladimir Sergeyevich Shkolnik (; born 17 February 1949) is a Kazakhstani politician who served as the Minister of Industry and Trade in the Government of Kazakhstan until Galym Orazbakov replaced him on 10 January 2007 in a political shakeup. He served as the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources in 2005.

While serving as the Energy Minister, Shkolnick co-chaired the 2005 Indo-Kazakh Joint Business Council meeting in Astana with Indian petroleum minister Mani Shankar Aiyar.

Shkolnik served a second term as the minister of energy to 27 March 2016, when Kanat Bozumbayev's term started.
