Abstract: Germany's relations with Russia have recently earned the epithet 'silence for gas,' echoing the 'blood for oil' often used to characterize American policy in Iraq. But is this justified? Must Germany make political concessions to Russia to avoid a Russian gas boycott? How important are Russian oil and natural gas supplies for Germany and Europe, now and in the future?
