Petra Kuchyňková, Ph.D. Rok obhajoby: 2014 Annotation After the collapse of the Soviet Union and further organization of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Russian Federation began to play a leading role both in political and economic fields among the countries that were once part of the Soviet Union. The same goes for the energy sector, because energy plays a key role in the national security of any given state as a fuel with which the whole economic mechanism operates. The CIS were dominated by elites that were more concerned about cumulating wealth and power than about formulating of long-term national strategies in energy or any other sector. This was the main reason for the absence of a consistent energy policy, and as a consequence, Ukraine and Belarus began to depend on Russian supplies. To be more specific, the cheap gas factor was used to maintain weak states, which faced the threat of total collapse. Thereby emerged the underpayments for gas supplies. It was one of the most important factors of tensions between producer and consumer states which subsequently led to the large-scale conflicts with extensive foreign policy consequences. After the abolition of Russia’s subsidies on the gas price and their increasing at the world level, current problems were even more aggravated. In addition, Ukraine and Belarus are situated on the western borders of the Russian Federation, and are located between the producer of energy resources and their main consumer, that causes the transitional nature of these countries.
