The energy sector of the Russian Federation is associated with two large state-owned corporations - Gazprom and Rosneft. With their help, the Kremlin has so far successfully conducted its foreign policy towards the West and the post-Soviet space. However, apart from the oil and gas sector, the Russian Federation has a well-developed nuclear energy sector. It is headed by the state corporation Rosatom. Comprehensive customer service and the business model chosen by the Russians allowed Rosatom to occupy a leading position in the global nuclear energy market.

This article analyzes the potential of Russia's nuclear energy sector and whether it is being used by Moscow to achieve political advantage.
