Energy has become a major element to Russia's attempts, under
Putin, to restore its influence over former Soviet territories and
reaffirm itself as the dominant regional power. This book
investigates how Russia has manipulated the energy of its
neighbours on Russian energy supplies to achieve its foreign policy
goals, focusing in particular on relations with Ukraine. This book,
based on a multitude of primary Ukrainian and Russian primary
sources until now not brought to the attention of Western readers,
examines important events such as Russia's January 2006 suspension
of gas supplies to Ukraine, and the implications for Ukraine's
'Orange Revolution', other post-Soviet states and Western Europe.
However, it goes further in showing how domestic political
conditions in non-Russian states may facilitate Russia's use of
energy as a foreign policy weapon, investigating the local groups
that often receive significant profits from allowing Russia to
control energy markets and energy transit possibilities. With
European countries becoming more dependent upon Russian energy,
this book will be of interest not only to Russian Studies and
Eastern European Studies experts, but to scholars of international
relations and European politics.
