This clip comes from Energy Switch Season 7, Episode 6 "Russian Energy" originally released on 10/07/25 on the PBS website.

Russia’s energy exports fund its government and war efforts. It’s the world’s 2nd largest producer of oil and natural gas, behind the US, and has avoided energy sanctions through careful maneuvering. Because of its energy, Russia will continue to play an outsized role in global politics.

Joining Dr. Scott Tinker to discuss Russia's global role is:
- Dr. Margarita Balmaceda from Seton Hall and Harvard
- Dr. Carolyn Kissane, Associate Dean at NYU.
