  • Testimony: the Russian Economy: More Than Just Energy?
    The Russian Economy: More than Just Energy? Anders Åslund, Peterson Institute for International Economics Testimony for the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the European Parliament April 2009 1 Introduction Russia has enjoyed a decade of high economic growth because of the eventually successful market reforms of the 1990s as well as an oil boom. For the last six years, however, the Russian economy has become increasingly dysfunctional because the authorities have done nothing to impede corruption. The energy sector has been a generator of corrupt revenues, and its renationalization has concentrated these corrupt incomes in the hands of the security police elite. Russia depends on the European Union for most of its exports and imports, but no free trade agreement is even on the horizon. Investments, by contrast, are relatively well secured through international conventions. In global governance, Russia has changed its attitude from being a joiner to becoming a spoiler. The disruption of supplies of Russian gas to Europe in January 2009 displayed all the shortfalls both of the Russian and Ukrainian gas sectors and of EU policy. The European Union needs to play a more active role. It should monitor gas supplies, production, and storage. It should demand the exclusion of corrupt intermediaries in its gas trade. It should demand that Russia and Ukraine conclude a long- term transit and supply agreement. The European Union should form a proper energy policy, with energy conservation, diversification, unbundling, and increased storage. This is a good time to persuade Russia to ratify the Energy Charter. The European Union should also demand that Ukraine undertake a market-oriented and transparent energy-sector reform.

  • Privatization in Russia: Catalyst for the Elite
    PRIVATIZATION IN RUSSIA: CATALYST FOR THE ELITE VIRGINIE COULLOUDON During the fall of 1997, the Russian press exposed a corruption scandal in- volving First Deputy Prime Minister Anatoli Chubais, and several other high- ranking officials of the Russian government.' In a familiar scenario, news organizations run by several bankers involved in the privatization process published compromising material that prompted the dismissal of the politi- 2 cians on bribery charges. The main significance of the so-called "Chubais affair" is not that it pro- vides further evidence of corruption in Russia. Rather, it underscores the im- portance of the scandal's timing in light of the prevailing economic environment and privatization policy. It shows how deliberate this political campaign was in removing a rival on the eve of the privatization of Rosneft, Russia's only remaining state-owned oil and gas company. The history of privatization in Russia is riddled with scandals, revealing the critical nature of the struggle for state funding in Russia today. At stake is influence over defining the rules of the political game. The aim of this article is to demonstrate how privatization in Russia gave birth to an oligarchic re- gime and how, paradoxically, it would eventually destroy that very oligar- chy. This article intends to study how privatization influenced the creation of the present elite structure and how it may further transform Russian decision making in the foreseeable future. Privatization is generally seen as a prerequisite to a market economy, which in turn is considered a sine qua non to establishing a democratic regime. But some Russian analysts and political leaders disagree with this approach.

  • Methodical Approach to Assessing the Effectiveness of the Management System of Thermal Power Plants in Russia
    E3S Web of Conferences 124, 04003 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/201912404003 SES-2019 Methodical approach to assessing the effectiveness of the management system of thermal power plants in Russia P. I. Okley1, V. K. Lozenko1 and R. I. Inamov1,* 1 National Research University "Moscow Power Engineering Institute", Moscow, Russia Abstract. Physical deterioration of thermal power plants based on hydrocarbon fuels leads to technological violations (TV) in their work. Low rates of renewal of thermal generation predetermines the further exploitation of old capacities. In this regard, the activity of the management of energy holdings (EH) is more focused on maintaining the equipment in working condition. The methods, approaches and tools underlying decision-making by the management of energy holding companies are different, respectively, the results of the functioning of the organized management systems (MS) of each company are also different. To assess the effectiveness of the management system it is proposed to use such a generalized indicator as the number of technological violations per year per 1 GW of installed capacity. 1 Introduction capacity — for example, the balance of the largest holdings includes both traditional thermal power plants The electric power industry is one of the key areas of and nuclear and hydro generation. To understand the Russia's development, the country's economy and social scale of management activities it is interesting to find out position of all citizens depend on it.
