🇷🇺🇷🇺The “Needle of Koschei” of Russia’s Energy Sector

In the Yamal tundra, near the Pravaya Khetta River, lies what is considered the most vulnerable point in Russia’s gas industry — the “Yamal Cross.” At this tiny junction, 17 major gas pipelines, each 1.2–1.4 meters in diameter, intersect. Under enormous pressure (54–100 atmospheres), they carry thousands of cubic meters of natural gas every hour.

If anything were to happen there, 57% of Russia’s electricity generation could disappear.

The consequences for Russia’s domestic infrastructure would be catastrophic. This single hub handles 85% of all the natural gas produced in Russia. Disrupting it would immediately leave vast regions without power. The energy systems of the Urals and European Russia would face rolling blackouts, while the country’s largest industrial plants and factories would be left without electricity and heat.
