In recent years the role of geo-economic factors in international relations has become more prominent. Energy resources in particular are one of the important elements of the geopolitical power of countries. Russia and Iran are both two such examples of being globally recognized as important energy producers with huge oil and gas reserves that compete amongst themselves and other producers in the global energy market. However, in many circumstances competitors also need to collaborate and work together when it comes to their common interests. This article examines the possibility of Iranian-Russian cooperation in the energy sector. Taking into account particularly the “shale revolution”, the development of the LNG industry and the unilateral actions of the United States in the world energy market, this study will argue and emphasize that the cooperation and coordination of actions between Iran and Russia in the global energy sector has become more urgent and prominent. In addition to interaction within the framework of the GECF and OPEC, such issues as Russia’s participation in the Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) gas pipeline project, the energy security of the Caspian Sea, the exchange of electricity through the Caucasus, i. e.  the creation of electric network between Russia - Azerbaijan - Iran or between Russia - Georgia - Armenia - Iran, as well as the development of Iran’s cooperation with the Eurasian Economic Union in the energy sector are also factors that can lead to the development of the Russian-Iranian- relations and the strengthening of stability and security in the region

The main problem: This article is devoted to the key problems of the fuel and energy complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan: 1) lack of production capacity to meet the growing demand for energy and fuel from the economy and the population. Increased demand for electricity and heat, which will require the commissioning of new generating capacities.There is already a shortage in the fuel markets. Modernization and bringing the existing oil refineries (hereinafter referred to as refineries) to full capacity will not allow providing the domestic market until 2030; 2) the export orientation of raw materials, the dependence of the economy on the export of energy resources. In order to attract technology and investment in the oil and gas and nuclear industries, agreements on the extraction of energy resources were concluded with international export companies. In the medium term, Kazakhstan may face a shortage of oil for domestic refineries, if measures are not taken to stimulate its refining within the country. The uranium mined is fully exported; 3) high energy intensity of the economy, low level of energy efficiency. There is a high potential for increasing the efficiency of energy use both in the electric power industry and fuel production, and at the level of final consumption – in industry and housing and communal services; 4) decrease in the replenishment and quality of the resource base in the oil and gas, coal and nuclear industries; 5) low environmental friendliness of technologies used in the fuel and energy complex. Purpose: The purpose of the article is to reveal the problem in the field of ensuring the fulfillment of international obligations between different countries and their own energy sufficiency by gradually changing the structure of energy production. Methods: Studying the experience of increasing the efficiency of the use of energy resources and energy saving as a priority of the state policy of the country. Analysis of production capacity with a constantly forecasted shortage of primary energy resources and insufficient growth of capacity for the production of electricity and heat. Consideration of the possibility of compensating for the shortage by saving energy resources, increasing tariffs for energy carriers, as a stimulating factor for their effective use. Results and their significance: The results of this article will reflect the problems of energy, as the most important driving force of global economic progress. The well-being of the people depends on the state of the country's energy sector, therefore there is an urgent need to solve the emerging problems. The global energy problem is, first of all, the issue of stable and efficient supply of fuel and energy to mankind. Today, the energy sector of Kazakhstan is focused on fuel resources, since the country is provided with hydrocarbons and other energy resources. About 72 % of electricity in Kazakhstan is generated from coal, 12,3 % from hydro resources, 10,6 % from gas and 4,9 % from oil. Thus, the four main types of power plants generate 99,8 % of electricity, while alternative sources account for less than 0,2 %.

The sixth international conference “Demonology as a semiotic system” was held at the Russian State University for the Humanities, on May 19–21, 2020. Once every two years, it becomes a scientific forum for folklorists, ethnolinguists, anthropologists, historians, culturologists and other specialists who study the “lower” level of mythology. The aims of the conference include the exchange of experience gained in the study of various data: ancient texts, medieval literature, ethnographic sources of the 19th – 20th centuries, the new field interview. The theme of that event is demonological plots and motives, nominations of mythological characters, their visual images, ritual forms of communication with spirits, social practices of various cultures and eras connected with witchcraft.
