Résumé ou extrait
  • "Gudrun Persson introduces readers to the evolution of Russian military strategic thought from the Crimean War (1853-56) to the present day. The book surveys the pivotal strategic thinkers from Dmitrii Miliutin, Aleksandr Svechin and Andrei Snesarev to Makhmut Gareev, Andrei Kokoshin, and Valerii Gerasimov. Russian military thought is understudied in the West, but it is critical to fill this gap in order to avoid strategic surprise. Furthermore, Persson shows that military strategic thought is closely linked to Russia's existence as a state and explains patterns of Russian confrontation. Strategy in Russia encompasses the broader context of foreign and domestic policy as well as the military's ties to the country's leadership. Persson sheds light on Russia's self-image and national identity, which in turn has fundamental consequences for Russia and its neighbors. The book helps readers understand the mindset of the current Russian leadership and the constraints that shape Russia's future possibilities"
