MOSCOW, June 30 (Reuters) - Russian gas giant Gazprom (GAZP.MM) has decided not to pay dividends on last year's results, the first time it will not pay out since 1998, sending its shares plunging 27%.

He added that Gazprom would rather focus on Russian regional gasification, preparation for the heating season and paying increased taxes.
