Russia's energy empire: Putin and the rise of Gazprom | DW Documentary


For decades, European countries have been dependent on Russian gas imports. And they did it to themselves. The biggest culprit? Germany. Only after Russia declared war on Ukraine did the German government realize that Russia has been using gas as a weapon for a long time.

  1. So America always wanted to blow up those pipelines from 1985s onwards.
    And when they finally did it in 2022 they Claimed "It was the Russians" and the Germans played along

  2. Complete propagandistic nonsense. What dependency? Firstly, who suppressed Germany to build LNG terminals to diversify the supply. Secondly Russian oil and gas were supplied by long term contracts. Who suppressed Germany to sign contracts with convenient terms.

  3. World politics is all about countries selfishly manipulating and screwing over others. America has done it best so far far. other countries want in on that world domination juice too, American naturally feels threatened coz whoever controls the world imposes ideas and sets a path that suits them and keeps others dancing to their tune. Human greed seems to be eternal

  4. Well now Germany is independent from the Russian gas, but it’s dependents from the American one on much higher price. When you don’t have natural resources you always depend from someone.

  6. NOW YOU KNOW WHY GERMANY CANCELED THE NUCLEAR ENERGY – IT WAS PUTIN….. Biggest mistake Germany did was allow themselves to be DUPED BY PUTIN – WITH ADOLF SHROEDER/ and Merkel as a RUSSIAN AGENT

  7. In the Netherlands we have a lot of gas and so has Norway and probably some other Baltic and/or Northern European countries.
    But due to the BS climate change policies we are not winning any gas locally but import it.
    This makes us (EU) depending on countries like Qatar, Algeria, Angola, USA and formerly Russia.
    But Russia was by far the cheapest supplier!
