ENERGY RESOURCES AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF RUSSIA

Abstract

Russia is rich in energy reserves that are essential to an industry and in a household use. Its mineral wealth is abound with various raw materials such as earth oil, natural gas, coal of every geological types and metamorphose phases (from pure humic coal to boghead coal and from liptobiolith to friable lignite), iron stone, uranium, aurum and others. Russia has the exceptional mineral resources pool. The specificity of the Russian raw-material base is a complexity. The base is included almost all types of minerals: fuel-power reserves (oil, gas, coal, uranium); ferrous metals (iron, manganese, chromian stones); nonferrous and rare metals (cuprum, plumbum, zink, nickelic, aluminium materials, algam, wolframite, molybdenum, stibnic, azoque, titanium, zirconium, niobium, tantalum, yttrium, rhenium, scandium, strontium and others); precious metals (aurum, argentums, platinoids) and rough diamonds; non-metals (apatites, phosphorites, potash and sodium salts, fluor spar, mica, talcum, magnesium, mineral carbon, baryta, piezo-optic raw materials, precious and ornamental stones and others). The mineral potential of Russia is totally suffice for adopting and independent and effective policy. The country-produced mineral base is instrumental in the world commodities-based industries. Raw materials provide the economic and defensive strength of the country. The mineral raw materials and end products, which have been produced due to sand mining and following mineral processing, constitute the chief export earner of Russia.
