The "return" of the Caspian energy resources to the center of modern geopolitics: to the formation of the "post-february" energy picture of the world

Abstract
The article is devoted to how the Ukrainian crisis of 2022, as well as the explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipeline, began the restructuring of the European energy security system. These events have returned the Caspian region to the center of international energy geopolitics. The EU wants to reduce dependence on Russian gas exports within a year. In this situation, many European governments turned their attention to Azerbaijani gas and Kazakh oil as a "lifeline" in the face of a growing crisis. This prospect means that the importance of the Caspian hydrocarbons is growing sharply, and with it the new rise of the Caspian states as important oil and gas players in Northern Eurasia.
