摘要：

Energy security is an instrument of politics. Russia is one of the world key oil and gas suppliers. Recently, there have been attempts to a "misuses" energy policy in order to increase the influence over the customers and expand to new markets. The question is whether Russia will be able to fulfill all the obligations as well its goals stated in the energy policy. Russia is using energy increasingly as a political lever and there was a global increase in hydrocarbon prices. The EU remains Russia's largest trading partner and is dependent on revenues from gas sales to Europe. It seems that consequence of the financial crisis and its European solution may have influence on the Russia's politics towards the EU. Would new energy source - shale gas - change anything?
