Abstract

Russia holds among the world’s largest resources of gas, oil and coal. Its liquids production has reached historical highs, yet major additional upstream investments and technology upgrades will be needed to sustain these levels in the long term. Since the IEA’s last review of Russia’s energy policies in 2002, the power sector has also liberalised considerably. However, the Russian economy remains largely inefficient, with twice as much energy used per GDP compared with IEA member countries. Ambitious energy efficiency policies have been introduced but have not led to significant improvements so far. At the same time, the electricity and district heating infrastructure is ageing and requires rapid investments. Russia’s overall energy sector would benefit considerably from a more competitive, market-oriented environment. While a number of policies aimed at modernising the energy sector and increasing its efficiency and sustainability are being developed or implemented, further reforms are needed. This review analyses the energy-policy challenges facing Russia and provides critiques and recommendations for further policy improvements.

Abstract

Russia's renewal since the collapse of Communism has proved extraordinarily disturbed, and was marked by escalating conflict between President Yeltsin and the Congress of People's Deputies inherited from the Soviet era. This culminated in insurrection and violence on the streets, and when the main rebels were given amnesty in February 1994, the situation remained as uncertain as ever. The contributors to this book analyse a Russia which is searching for its future amid a maelstrom of complex forces - political, economic, socio-cultural, and international. They examine each of these elements of Russia's situation and investigate the role that each may play in shaping Russia's fortunes into the twenty-first century. Their overall conclusion is that, whatever the exact shape of the future, it will be determined both by elements embedded over many generations, and the influence of seven decades of communist rule.

Abstract

Driemaal liet Bieke Depoorter (1986) zich een maand lang meevoeren met de Trans-Siberische expres, langs vergeten dorpen, van woonkamer tot woonkamer. Enkele Russische woorden, neergekrabbeld op een stukje papier, volstonden om opgenomen te worden in de warme chaos van een gezin. Toevallige ontmoetingen bepaalden haar slaapplaatsen. De woonkamer, de spil van hun huiselijke bestaan, zorgt voor een intiem contact tussen de Russische bewoners. Voor even maakte Bieke Depoorter daar deel van uit. Hun sofa werd voor een nacht haar bed. Zo deelde ze momenten van kortstondige maar krachtige betrokkenheid. Ou menya is het resultaat van deze reis, waarmee ze de HP Magnum Expression Award van het gerenommeerde fotocollectief Magnum Photos won.
