Summary/Abstract: The energy relations between Hungary and the Russian Federation have undergone a number of different development stages since 1990. From the establishment of a new energy framework of mutual relations through the deterioration of the energy interaction to the creation of pragmatic friendly relations in the field of energy. Current energy relations are characterized by a significant energy dependence of Hungary on Russia, which is the main supplier of oil, natural gas, coal and electricity. In the future, we can expect a further continuation of closer energy co-operation and the political rapprochement of Hungary to Russia, with Hungary becoming the notional "Trojan Horse" of the Russian Federation within the European Union.
