The monograph covers the period from the early 1990s to the end of the second decade of the 21st century, which allows tracking the evolution of Russian-Turkish relations after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The author analyzes how the redefinition of the position of key players on the international stage influenced energy cooperation between Russia and Turkey. Despite the lack of a direct land border, both countries remain geopolitical neighbors due to the situation in the Caucasus and the dominant role in the region.

The publication emphasizes the growing international aspirations of the Russian Federation under the leadership of Vladimir Putin and the assertive foreign policy of Turkey under the government of the Justice and Development Party. The rapprochement between the states is manifested on many levels, from political and diplomatic to economic, where energy plays a key role. The book is an important contribution to the research on Russian-Turkish relations, analyzing the strategic priorities of Russian energy policy in the context of cooperation with Turkey, which is becoming an increasingly important state in the transit of raw materials from East to West.

Modern energy security policy has created a space for broad Russian-Turkish cooperation, despite existing conflicting interests. Energy resources and the possibilities of their transport have become a key factor shaping the strategies of both countries towards their partners, as well as a diplomatic tool in interstate relations. The publication analyzes how these factors affect the position of Russia and Turkey in the region and in the world.
