among the main objectives of the strategy — addressing domestic energy demand, export development, modernization and the increased availability of infrastructure, the achievement of technological independence, digital transformation and energy security.

this strategy involves, inter alia, that “the level of gasification of Russian regions by 2024 will increase from 68.6% to 74.7%, and by 2035 up to 82,9%”.

In particular, only 1.5 hours drive from St. Petersburg is the village of Glove with a population of 400 people that is not connected to the gas network, although close, Vyborg starts the pipeline “Nord stream-1”. As a result, people have to buy gas cylinders at a price much above the gas pipeline.

the Authors noted that the total program of gasification of the country, launched in 2005, big has not brought results, despite spent by Gazprom on the Russian gas networks 5 billion euros. Now the date was extended to 2030. In addition, the Minister of energy Alexander Novak called the complete gasification of Russia is economically inefficient.
