Summary:
Katusa takes a look at the ways the western world is losing control of the energy market, and what can be done about it. He shows that Russia is in the midst of a rapid economic and geopolitical renaissance under the rule of Vladimir Putin, and that understanding his rise to power provides the keys to understanding the shift in the energy trade from Saudi Arabia to Russia.
