For decades, European countries have been dependent on Russian gas imports. And they did it to themselves. The biggest culprit? Germany. Only after Russia declared war on Ukraine did the German government realize that Russia has been using gas as a weapon for a long time.
How did this come about? What is Russian President Vladimir Putin's plan? The films take a look behind the scenes of the Russian gas monopoly Gazprom. They show the genesis of an empire: from the collapse of the Soviet Union to the Russian goldrush, the restrictions imposed by newly-elected President Vladimir Putin and his regime’s subsequent arrests and expropriations. The filmmakers shot the film before the start of Russia's attack on Ukraine; a project that would no longer be possible today. The material allows viewers a glimpse into the inner workings of the energy giant Gazprom.

It is all about trade routes. Russia and China are working on the BRI- initiative (Belt and Road Initiative), the new silk road2.0. Where they want to connect trade pathways to Africa, India, The Middle East and Europe, The US doesn't want this because, they lose revenue and don't want Europe, Russia and China to become partners. That's why they blew up Nordstream in the first place. That's why they overthrew Yanukovich and installed their puppets. Europe now had to pay more for its imported energy from the US. That's what it's all about.

You are so right ! This depedancy on Russia Gas grew out of a German belief (Including Merkel) that a Russia bound in trade would have too much to risk in conflict with Europe, making Germany more secure while also profiting its economy. Putin made the best ever chess move to convince them - the vest one was when he hired Schröder untill he finally exposed how strong and confident he feels and made one mistake - tried to check mate Europe and invaded Ukraine. This SUDDEN and ABSOLUTELY UNEXPECTED MOVE by Putin lead German Politicians to WAKE UP FROM THEIR SLEEP - reconsidering their ties and trust with Russia DESPITE YEARS OF WARNING FROM THE US AND THE MAJORITY TO EU COUNTRIES AND ALLIES. Mr. Schröder has today become the most prominent face of that long era of miscalculation, not only because he expresses no regret but because he has also profited handsomely from it, earning millions promoting Russian energy interests.

Sentiments aside, your insinuation is incredibly incorrect. Norway’s geologically proven and unexplored reserves are a fraction of Russia’s and they do not have the infrastructure in place to supply most of Europe in the volume that would be sufficient to see to their needs on the continent. Furthermore, environmental movements in the country are quite influential and represent a strong impediment to any proposals to expand Norway’s infrastructure and capacity to produce and export more gas. Now even with the capacity they have at the moment, the strict environmental laws and additional provisions for contract stipulations and other provisions for cross border trade add more to the cost of Norwegian gas. In essence, Russian gas is still by far the cheapest and best alternative and this is why Angela Merkel threw her country into deepening the energy relationship with Russia further than her predecessor.

You missed out that it was Polish administration PiS which almost single-handedly opposed Russian influence and fuel dependence. Sikorsky and the Tusk Government did the opposite in 2007-2014. They removed Poland's veto on Russian involvement in European and world institutions, and supported the German fuel dependence, and the invasions of Georgia and Ukraine. Despite the fact that Putin's economic blacklisting of Poland wasn't removed. Tusk/Sikorsky seem very skillful at rewriting history, both whitewashing their instrumental part in this, and blackening the PiS a conservative centre-left government they branded as "right wing nationalist". See the documentary series "Reset".

Thank you for this story. An informative piece of journalism.

It perhaps adds another dimension. I am not saying look for some smoking gun or that there is some form of conspiracy. Resource development decisions are handled in a very low key manner. There is a financial, and resource development and allocation, component of in any geopolitical decision. Prior to Russian military action in Ukraine, Germany's reliance on Russian gas, may have seemed a very smart decision.

If Europe wanted to be energy independent , it could, but this would not bode well, with almost any fossil fuel owner in the world Plus... It has its own fossil fuel deposits. It has the know-how for nuclear energy and about any form of renewable energy . That said, the "dependency" worry is without merit, in the fact that you change your depndencies from Russia to Middle East. You still maintain a dependency , the question is to whom. People prefer to keep a depndency to the Middle East, as it is deemed more controllable. I am not convinced. The excuses are posted frontline , the real reasons are held behind. And the real reason is financial dominance. Not sure this is a sustainable policy .

Maybe if we use open fuel tanks, no fuel lines to control it, and just let the fuel fumes make it's own way into the intake, that would reduce control of the energy and because controlling with tanks, pumps and fuel lines consumes most of the energy in a car's enery system, refucing control would make these freed fume powered engines more efficient than conventional controlled engines

@Spoon89803
@Spoon89803 3 месяца назад
This was a very well made documentary but adding commentators that represent the US political establishment, considering how prejudiced they may be, should have been counterbalanced with interviews from Russian officials. The U.S has for the past century used energy as a weapon as well in pursuing its own political and global agenda, the most popular example of this is the petrodollars and the sanctions mechanism; this fact alone is the reason why a balance would have really helped to give viewers a more balanced perspective. The truth is that Russian gas was a realistic and easy alternative for the Germans. Norway lacks the infrastructure and their gas reserves are but a fraction of Russia’s which represents an eventual limitation to supply; in addition, the environmentalists are quite influential in those Scandinavian countries, especially Norway, which represents an impediment to any moves to increase exploration and raise capacity. Trying to simplify Germany’s dependence on Russia by calling out the greed of politicians seems childish because the E.U. has already shown time and time again that it is governed by greed, one of the most popular of such a case would have to be the former vice president of the E.U. parliament Eva Kaili. Greed is a common trait of being a politician, it is what fuels their ambitions and helps them fund their campaigns. However, with Russian gas, I wouldn’t be too quick to blame the German political establishment for being incompetent. It is not a weakness to seek deep economic ties with your neighbor as a deterrent to future hostilities.
