Russian Oil

Russian Oil explores the profound impact of Russia's oil industry on its economic and political power, both domestically and on the global stage. The book argues that Russia's modern influence is deeply rooted in its vast oil resources, examining how this legacy has shaped its development and geopolitical strategies.

One intriguing aspect highlighted is how oil revenues have funded the Soviet Union's industrialization and military expansion. Another key insight is the analysis of the complex relationships between state-owned enterprises, private companies, and international investors within the Russian oil sector.

The book adopts an integrated approach, combining energy economics with political science and historical context to provide a comprehensive understanding. It avoids solely focusing on economic data or political maneuvers, instead analyzing their interplay.

Russian Oil progresses chronologically, beginning with the late 19th century, moving through the Soviet era's nationalization, and culminating in the post-Soviet transformation, including the rise of oligarchs and Putin's reassertion of state control. This structure guides the reader through the multifaceted aspects of Russia's oil dominance and its implications for global energy security.
