Vladimir Nastich leaving the position of NLMK CEO was a surprise to many. Nastich left office, according to the official version, "in connection with retirement." The metallurgist at the time was only 57 years old. However, he lost not only the chief executive position, but he was expelled from the management board of NLMK.

Observers noted: Nastich did not reach retirement age, which for men in Russia is 60. This fact provides for an opinion that perhaps the reason for retirement was not the one officially announced. Several businessmen in Lipetsk on condition of anonymity suggested that the real reason for Nastich leaving NLMK could be a conflict with Vladimir Lisin, the owner of the plant, or other top managers of NLMK, in particular Aleksey Lapshin, the president. A high ranking regional administration insider said that there had been no fuss at the plant prior to the retirement and that the CEO had left quickly and quietly. Another source added that man in Lipetsk Nastich was an influential person as he was involved primarily in the development of the local enterprise and not other of other enterprises within NLMK. "If there was a reason for the resignation of Nastich, it certainly was not his professional skills and knowledge", he said.
