This timely book analyses the status of hydrocarbon energy in
Russia as both a saleable commodity and as a source of societal and
political power. Through empirical studies in domestic and foreign
policy contexts, Veli-Pekka Tynkkynen explores the development of a
hydrocarbon culture in Russia and the impact this has on its
politics, identity and approach to climate change and renewable
energy. Cogent and compelling, this book demonstrates how the
Russian state leverages its oil and gas reserves in order to create
and maintain power both domestically and internationally. Tynkkynen
uses empirical studies of key topics such as the national gas
programme Gazprom, the Arctic, climate discourse and anthropogenic
climate change denial, and the Russia-Finland energy trade to
critically examine the situation. The book concludes with a
convincing argument for the potential of renewable energy to build
a more resilient and sustainable future for Russia and how this
might be achieved. This will prove crucial reading for scholars and
students of Russian and Eastern European studies and energy and
environmental studies, as well as geographers, anthropologists and
political scientists. Those working in governments, international
organizations and corporations with an interest in Russian energy
will also find its insights useful.
