European energy dependency[edit]
Russia has positioned itself to have a strong grip on Europe's nuclear power via Rosatom[1] and gas import via Nord Stream and Gazprom.[2] Russian intervention is prominent in the careers of numerous revolving door politicians:
- Matthias Warnig - Nord Stream, Rusal[2][3]
- Gerhard Schröder - Gazprom, Nord Stream, Rosneft[4][5]
- Esko Aho - Sberbank[6][7]
- François Fillon - Zarubezhneft, Sibur[8][9]
- Hans Jörg Schelling - Gazprom[10][11]
- Karin Kneissl - Rosneft[12][13]
The Russian-backed Nigerien coup d'état further increases Europe's energy dependence on Russia.[14][15][16]
