Russia's oil is run by a man nicknamed 'Darth Vader' who controls the money and the energy weapon.
Who they are
Igor Sechin, CEO of the Russian state oil giant Rosneft.
What they do
The engine treats him as a top power broker controlling Russia's main oil revenue and its use as leverage.
How it works
He runs Rosneft, controlling the state's primary oil income and its energy 'weapon,' leads the hardline security-services (siloviki) economic faction, and manages off-the-books financial networks for state operations; he was Putin's deputy chief of staff before Rosneft.
Why it matters
His Venezuelan oil holdings put him in the crosshairs of a US move to push both Russia and China out of the region — making him a live piece on the geopolitical board.
The engine's record — word for word
