Is "Siemens" squeezed out of the Russian market by American companies?

82
The scandal associated with the supply of turbines "Siemens" in the Crimea (which, by the way, is not officially confirmed so far) is gaining momentum. After the European Union recently imposed sanctions against several officials of the Russian Ministry of Energy and three Russian companies in connection with the supply of turbines, Siemens said that after the trial it was ready to leave the Russian market.

Edition Forbes reported that the German company is going to withdraw licenses from Russian partners, as well as cancel the contract for the supply of equipment with the simultaneous export of turbines supplied from Russia.

Is "Siemens" squeezed out of the Russian market by American companies?


At the same time, there is information that the German manufacturer is deliberately squeezing out of the Russian market under the guise of a company that supplies “sanctions goods”. At the same time, American companies are picking up schemes to “replace” Siemens in Russia. In fact, we are talking about operations to free the Russian market from a German company that has been operating in our country for several decades, while simultaneously replacing it with an American company. In particular, this point of view in an interview with the radio station Sputnik expressed political scientist Alexei Mukhin.

From the interview:
And here, I am afraid, he (“Siemens”) will have to give way to American companies, which, without a twinge of conscience, occupy the places that Europeans relieve under the influence of these very sanctions. And they are already cooperating with us ... In general, the sanctions policy of the West raises questions not only in our country, but also in the West itself: guys, why do you shoot yourself in the leg? Russia is part of the global economy.


Recall that the activity of Siemens in Russia is not limited to gas turbines. For many years, there has been cooperation in the creation of railway locomotives, electric trains, household appliances, etc. These are hundreds of millions of euros in profit per year.

If Siemens leaves Russia, then companies from core areas will start to fight for the Russian market - and not only from countries that have not supported anti-Russian sanctions.

          Something seems to me such a scenario is unlikely.
          First, they say, the Germans still honor their economic interests.
          Secondly, it seems to me that it will be more difficult for Americans to supply something bypassing sanctions than Germans. They seem stronger sanctions.
          Well, in the event Simens leaves the market, Russia will also definitely suffer. Not for nothing that we buy technology from them.

          And then the Norman Scandinavians from the north of France (William the Conqueror)
          moved the Angles and Saxons. But again there was no massacre: battles, a change of power
          and a mixture of peoples.
          So England is a mixture of peoples.

    There have been two “simens” at our CHP since 1975. In 1988-19990, they started reconstruction and ordered a powerful turbine in Leningrad, but it doesn’t plow and we had to buy a couple of turbines in Japan more simply, but how much money is this super-super turbine in the pipe

        No, I have the main idea, are they dual-use or civil? Moreover, they covered them in our city. I mean at the port. Yes, I somehow did not attach much importance to this event. And then you understand, a whole saga raced! Right world resonance! His mother! ..

    I think the question is a little deeper. Probably many do not know - that everything is done according to German standards, metrics and measurements. Starting from the frequency in the sockets and voltage, ending with communication standards and just a meter, centimeter)))

    This is not just a change of suppliers - it is a change of concept as a whole. Now there will be an opportunity to take all the best that is already in the world and implement it with us. As the saying goes "Well with God"

    Electricity currently provides the life of mankind!. The West does not realize that playing in sanctions, the West commit a crime against the possibility of people to live normally! And the task of any state is to ensure normal living conditions for its population. Therefore, the deliberate attempt on the part of the leadership of a foreign state to forcibly worsen the lives of people living in another state: is fascism! But fascism must be resolutely fought! At the same time, remember that along with sanctions, there are counter sanctions! Proceeding from this, the corresponding rigid "answer" should be immediately undertaken!

    Well, suppose they sort things out with the turbines (they will pay a fine, they will leave Siemens Technology of Gas Turbines LLC, then they will be screwed back). And then what ???? in a couple of years, the railway bridge will be completed and passenger trains will run there with wheels knocking. And on them from the equipment and "Siemens" and "Knorr-Bremse" and a lot more if not at all "peregrine falcons" will not be allowed (that’s why sweat will blow your breath). And that these guys are ready to break off relations with JSC Russian Railways and all its many daughters and granddaughters ??? Despite the fact that they have been squeezing competitors by all means for so many years. Well good luck to them

      They won’t run anywhere - they will turn around, spin and ... calm down. Probably they themselves are not ards that raised the boom. Business is business - he does not like scream and scream.

    A holy place is never empty - especially lucrative ... and spit on them for sanctions. In general, I am very surprised - Soviet turbines were some of the best in the world! though the part was made in Kharkov.

    A holy place is never empty. It is strange that the Germans, complete pragmatists, shoot themselves in the foot for the sake of the "elder brother." However, this is their choice.

      How can I say - either they will shoot themselves in the foot, or they have Big Brother in their heads) This is the general choice. After all, the Russian market is tiny compared to the US-controlled market. So you have to sacrifice less. But there is such a technology as “Rat King” or “Overton windows” - they always start with seemingly not very important things, but gradually you are already destroying everything important for yourself and vital interests and values ​​are changing.

    Sorry for the Simpsons family. You need to be friends with your neighbors. Russia does not forget its friendly attitude, but does not forget its hostile attitude.
