Europe's economy.

III. "Answers" The weakening of Russia's position in the "energy dialogue" with the EU is projected in any format change of power. This is due to the fact that for many years "formula of success" of the Kremlin was limited to exchanges of the system of concessions on personal political agreement, "tied" to specific political figures and have a limited shelf life. Increased power through the weakening of the country has become one of the basic technologies of Russia's foreign policy. The only guarantee of its bridge - the existence of the ruling elite of tomorrow's system of public principles, expressing the conditions of existence as an independent country "large space" (State of civilization) and obviously non-negotiable. In the field of international energy policy such principles are: 1. Priority of domestic consumption to export. Russia's position should be that low domestic energy prices - the natural advantage of resource-rich country situated in the vast territory of the cold and, in fact, a form of subsidy today's Russia, its past generations. The internal energy market (especially oil and gas) must be effectively SEPARATE from the influence of external markets as a protected "area of low prices. Only in this case, the increased profitability of the enterprises of the primary sector will not suppress, but to ensure industrial development of the economy. The obligation to keep a certain share of energy in the country is forcing mining companies to establish themselves more surplus value in the manufacturing sector. 2. The priority of energy integration in the post-Soviet space in front of the obligations of European energy integration in. As European integration began with the Franco-Germanic Union Coal and Steel Community, severoevraziyskaya integration of Russia and the allies can be based on an energy pact that is based on - an objective dependence prirubezhnyh countries on Russia's energy pact that infrastructure. The latter should be openly considered as a political tool of the State of Russia, which applies to them, including, in the interests of allied countries. To do this, the status of Russia's allies should be designed as an international legal and binding. From today's Russia's ability to build a consolidated energy policy, especially with Kazakhstan and Belarus is largely dependent upon its independence from the EU and the status as an independent "large space". 3. State monopoly for international energy policy. This is not about foreign trade, namely, the political monopoly, which does not require the full nationalization of the energy sector. In regard to private companies to operate the mechanism of coordination with state partners on sales and prices, as well as all investment projects with foreign partners. With regard to public companies in the fuel and energy sector should operate a formal ban on privatization. The situation in which Gazprom and Rosneft may receive first preference as a public corporation, and then safely use them as private (which is likely in the near future) - should be legally excluded. 4. Exclusive state ownership of mineral resources and raw materials mined. Organization of subsoil use, based on this principle (for the moment the resources extracted in government deposits, are actually owned by mining companies) is the main prerequisite for the system to attract foreign investment in the modernization and development of transit infrastructure and mining, including those based on fixed-term regime of concessions . 5. Diversification energopoliticheskogo partnership. Distribution of Russia's exports of energy among several world centers of power is a condition of independence of the country. European bias of our energy policy should balance the development of the south-east of energy policy should. India, China, Japan and other Asia Pacific countries are vitally interested in the supply of Russian fuel and energy resources and are willing to invest in the relevant infrastructure. Since the principle of diversification of the partnership should be applied to the APR countries themselves, the routes that allow trade with the several States (Angarsk - Nakhodka), politically better for Russia than the lines tightly bind it to a single user (Angarsk - Daqing). 6. Presence of inviolable strategic commodity reserves. Strategic reserve explored deposits, whose development may be authorized only by a special, exclusive of Parliament is important, especially as a factor in healthy social relationships (the transition from the model as the stolen property to the model of property as an inheritance) and to overcome the syndrome of "raw power." At the same time it will strengthen Russia's international standing and its resistance to increasing pressure on the international development of natural resources in the situation of the global struggle for resources. 7. Mastering the Inner East "- or the same thing, the priority of territorial development in Russia before the European energy security. The project integrated infrastructural development of the Russian East will not be just an alternative to "rotational approach" to Siberia as a joint colony of the western world, but one of the breakthrough areas of Russia's civilization in the twenty-first century. And, in particular - one of the main directions of investment profits FEC. Business extractive companies should be in some sense "serfdom", that is, is bound for regional development. In addition to the guarantees of cheap Trans-Siberian direction of internal communications, it will give Russia a chance to take their rightful place in the growing Asia-Pacific region. That is, to become, finally, the great non-European power.
