Being the most important economic sectors, the energy sector provides significant profits for the Russian economy and is largely dependent on the functioning of several multinational corporations such as Rosneft, Gazprom and Lukoil. Investments in these companies have always been important drivers for the Russian economy. New conditions of the global economy create serious challenges for the sector; therefore, the investment attractiveness of the sector is changing. The authors propose a new approach to the analysis of investment attractiveness, based on the conjugation of technical financial analysis, reflecting the internal factors that affect the companies' performance, and the SWOT analysis of the industry combined with the Doing Business Rankings that give a full picture of the external factors of investment attractiveness. This methodology makes it possible to identify the main specific characteristics of Russian MNCs and develop an investment strategy in the Russian energy sector in the current difficult times. Another result is a strategy for the development of the Russian energy sector in order to attract additional investment. The novelty of the article includes the implied methodology of investment attractiveness and evidence of the high investment attractiveness of the Russian energy sector even in unstable conditions, especially in the COVID economic shock.

The presented study was devoted to environmental safety in the context of the implementation of energy transfer programs. Among the main transitions, a conservative, innovative and energy transition is singled out, within the framework of which relevant measures are taken to increase the efficiency of the energy industry. The work analyzed plans for various approaches, as a result, it was concluded that in the event of an energy transition, it is planned to reduce oil and gas consumption by up to 20% and increase the consumption of renewable energy sources. The work revealed that the plans should be implemented taking into account the specifics and characteristics of the energy industries, in connection with which, a model for ensuring the energy transition containing mechanisms for decarburization, decentralization and digitalization was proposed for the Russian Federation. At the end of the study, brief conclusions are presented.
