Old and new threats to Russia's energy security in the gas sector
The paper is devoted to the analysis of the possible scale of the implementation of strategic threats to Russia's energy security in the future until 2035 in the context of rapidly changing conditions of external and internal factors in relation to the Russian energy sector. The article, taking into account the scale of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Russian economy, assesses the direction of the influence of the main current and possible in the future factors that can influence the directions of transformation and the scale of the implementation of strategic threats to Russia’s energy security. Based on the assessment of the influence of these factors, possible levels of prospective satisfaction of Russia's internal needs in the supply of primary energy resources are assumed, taking into account the need to fulfill international obligations for the export of fuel and energy resources. As a result of the analysis of these opportunities and conditions in the world energy markets, the authors conclude that the possibilities for further development of the Russian economy through the export of its oil and gas resources have now been exhausted.
