German imports of natural gas from Russia/the Soviet Union
I am currently working on a study for the Friedrich Ebert Foundation on German-Russian/Soviet energy relations from the 1970s to the 1990s, focusing in particular on natural gas. My first related publication was published in early 2024 as “An Avoidable Dependency? Russian Gas and German Complacency in the History of East–West Energy Relations.” Neue Politische Literatur (2024) (open access).
