In 2007, near the end of then-President Vladimir Putin's second term in office, he appointed Anatoliy Serdyukov as defense minister as part of an effort to combat corruption in the military and carry out reforms. After the August 2008 Russia-Georgia conflict revealed large-scale Russian military operational failures, the leadership became more determined to boost military capabilities. U.S. government and congressional policymakers are following the progress and goals of these reforms as they consider issues related to U.S.-Russia relations and U.S. national security interests. This book provides information about Russia's military leadership and structure, the arms industry and effort to modernize weaponry, power projection efforts, and the military budget.--Publisher's description.Russian political, economic and security issues.Russia in transition (Nova Science Publishers)Russia (Federation)Armed ForcesRussia (Federation)Military policy355.033547Lockhardt WhileySpivey KristenMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910155235003321Russia's military reforms, defense doctrines and policies2878210UNINA
