This study of the Russian army and how it has fared in the uncertain
transitional period since independence in December 1991 provides the basis for
understanding its present and potential future role in the new political
developments within Russia.
Following an historical overview of Russia's security agenda and an
examination of the Russian/Soviet army's tradition of involvement in politics,
the book then examines Russia's current security interests and the role of the
army in protecting them. Geopolitical perspectives are linked to the security
issues of the `Near Abroad', and to the nuclear dimension of security. Pavel K
Baev then considers the question of the feasibility of political control over
the Russian army. The problem of the politicization of the army is followed
through the interlinked issues of stalled military reform and a drastically
reduced military budget. Baev examines the current military role of the army
with case studies on conflict management in the Caucasus and the army's
performance in the role of peace-keeper in the Chechen War. Finally, the place
of the army in Russia's peace-keeping activities within a broader European
context is examined.
