Description - Rohstoffmacht Russland: Eine globale Energiegeschichte by Jeronim Perovic
In the late days of the Tsars, thanks to the development of a modern oil industry in the Caucasus, Russia developed into one of the world's leading oil producers and expanded this position even further in the Soviet era. Industrialization and the country's rise to global power were essentially linked to the country's ability to use its enormous resource potential. Energy and power continue to play together today. The Putin regime feeds on the billions in profits that are made from the sale of oil, gas and other fossil fuels. The development of the Russian energy industry over the last hundred years has paralleled ever closer energy ties with the world, and in particular with Europe, the most important sales market for Russian raw materials. This book shows that thinking about energy has influenced the dynamics of East-West relations far more than previous research suggests. It was in the sphere of trade in oil and gas that cooperation was possible even during the Cold War and across the Iron Curtain. The history of energy and the history of foreign trade appear at most as sideshows in the usual depictions of Russian history. This book puts her at the center of the narrative. Because how Russia deals with its wealth of raw materials is central to understanding the country's development path and its behavior in the past and present.
