It is dedicated to a number of topical issues of world economy and Russian economic environment. A systematic analysis of long-term world energy economy development trends is performed. For this purpose, a cause-and-effect relationship between international supply chains and energy procurement, on one hand, and revolutionary changes of international economic relations, caused by USA - China and Russia - USA, EU sanctions exchange, on the other, is derived. It is concluded that a developed gas industry is to play a decisive role in insuring global energy leadership of the major global powers on a mid- and long-term basis. A scenario analysis of further European gas market developments is provided. The external effects of developing gas industry are contemplated for Russian economic environment. In this framework most efficient options of action by Russian state are observed.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Статья является первой из серии статей, посвященных проблеме комплексной экономической и геополитической конкуренции ведущих мировых держав в энергетическом секторе. Рассматриваются актуальные тенденции мировой экономики. Предпринята попытка системного анализа долгосрочных тенденций развития мировой энергетики на основе сравнения различных энергоносителей и сопоставления капитальных затрат сооружения электрогенерирующих мощностей на их основе. В этом контексте производится причинно-следственное сопоставление трансформации международных производственно-сбытовых цепочек и энергетического обеспечения экономики, с одной стороны, и революционных изменений международных экономических отношений, вызванных санкционным противостоянием по линиям США - Китай и Россия - ЕС, США, с другой. Делается вывод о первостепенном значении развитой газовой промышленности для повышения глобального энергетического лидерства мировых держав в средне- и долгосрочной перспективе. Представлен анализ дальнейшего развития европейского газового рынка, в рамках которого рассматриваются наиболее эффективные варианты действий российского государства.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>gas industry</kwd><kwd>global competitiveness</kwd><kwd>economic leadership</kwd><kwd>international specialisation</kwd><kwd>green economy</kwd><kwd>energy security</kwd><kwd>sanctions</kwd><kwd>non-tariff regulation</kwd><kwd>supply chain</kwd><kwd>added value</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>газовая промышленность</kwd><kwd>глобальная конкурентоспособность</kwd><kwd>экономическое лидерство</kwd><kwd>зеленая энергетика</kwd><kwd>международная специализация</kwd><kwd>энергетическая безопасность</kwd><kwd>санкции</kwd><kwd>нетарифные ограничения</kwd><kwd>производственно-сбытовая цепочка</kwd><kwd>добавленная стоимость</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Al-Mohannadi, D.M., et al.
