Review of nanosecond discharges in the pressure range 10 mbar-15 bar will be presented. The discharges will be classified by specific delivered energy, increasing from 0.001 eV per molecule in the moderate pressure fast ionization waves (FIWs) to 5-7 eV per molecule in high pressure filamentary nanosecond surface dielectric barrier discharges (nSDBD). Peculiarities of experimental study and peculiarities of kinetics will be underlined for each case. Potential applications of nanosecond discharges will be discussed.
