Energy is likely to remain at the top of the global political agenda.This paper sets light on the importance of gas. The appropriate title of the dissertation is “The role of Gazprom in the economy of Russian Federation”. The aim of the paper is to gain a better understanding of the importance of gas especially for the Russian market. We state the Russian gas transmission system development – including Nord Stream and South Stream gas pipelines which are the very famous ones. We start to examine Russian gas market structure and the pricing sector. It’s of a great importance to analyze the prices that Gazprom sells gas to Russian consumers and how are these prices set. Also, we examine the Domestic Market pricing within the country. We take a look at the Optimal Export Prices. Regulated Russian Gas Market, Developing Russian gas market in compliance with market-based principles, Natural gas exchange, Developing exchange trade in natural gas; these are some other crucial issues that are under discussion in this paper. Suffice it to say, that Gazprom is heard to be gas giant and plays catalytic role in both Russian and global economic results. But why is Gazprom important? We answer this question, through its profile. After the company’s profile analysis some Gazprom major results; operating and financial - Group’s and OAO results are introduced in order to extend our aim.
