Russia's seizure of Crimea, and ongoing operations in eastern Ukraine, have refocused attention on the Russian military as a potential cause for concern in Europe. This monograph by an influential Russian general and military academic lays out specifically Russian views on the essential nature of strong conventional land forces, and how they may be used. With an expert commentary providing essential context and interpretation, the Paper presents a valuable insight into Russian military thinking, at a potentially critical juncture for European security. With increases in Vladimir Putin's military spending, efforts began to improve conventional military capability, to supplement the nuclear deterrent that had been retained as an essential minimum guarantee of Russian sovereignty during the preceding decade of chronic military underspending and force reductions. Several factors including concerns about activities of international radical groups and the strengthening of Islamic extremism near the Russian border, plus the deployment of foreign troops without consent of Russia and approval of the UN Security Council in the territory of countries adjacent and friendly to Russia, and the increased in armed conflicts, have strengthened Russia's landpower activities.
