The course of relations between energy exporters and importers presents afield of research which is bound to change sooner or later due tofallingfossilfuel reserves. When an energy transition (probably toward renewable sources) happens, just as the na- ture ofenergy relations between countries changes, the foreign policies of energy importers will change as well, driven as they often are by energy security concerns. Such an energy transition could have severe effects on nations and some of these effects may strengthen nationalisms. In other words, there may be a correlation between the future ofenergy and the rise of nationalisms. In this paper Turkish-Russian relations will be taken as a backdrop to explore the potential repercussions ofsuch a ma- terial/technological transition. Energy technologies and risisng nation- alisms will be taken as two factors to produce four distinct scenarios for the future ofsaid relations.
