Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia's army has undergone a turbulent transformation: from the scattered leftovers of the old Soviet military, through a period of shocking decay and demoralization, to the disciplined force and sophisticated "hybrid war" doctrine that enabled Vladimir Putin to seize Crimea virtually overnight in 2014. Using rare photographs and full-color images of the army in action, profiles of army leaders and defense ministers, as well as orders of battle and details of equipment and dress, this is a vivid account of the army's troubled history and of its current character, capabilities and status. Written by an internationally respected author with remarkable access to Russian-language sources and veterans, this study is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the growing power of Russia's military.… (mais)

Interesting book on development of Russian army from the total disaster of 1990's 'til modern days.
If there is one thing to be criticized here is book length, Osprey books are way too short but they do pack a lot of information.

Author is very knowledgeable on all things related to Soviet/Russian security apparatus but sometimes careens towards some personal thoughts on the Eastern nations, Russians especially that I do not think provide anything but maybe some anecdotal information.

I always considered Eastern Slavs to be Europeans but after reading several books on the subject (especially excellent Helion's book about Muscovite army) it is clear that this area [due to movement of huge amount of people through history through this parts] resulted as a mix of European and Asian ways and beliefs (later included Western influences) and as such gave birth to a very [geographically, considering the overall size of the area] specific approach to everyday life and therefore martial activities. So it is expected to see different approaches than say in France and UK.

That be said, enforcing cliche's is a rather bad thing and I think author does not need it at all.

Fortunately this only gets through as I said in form of anecdotal information so it does not distract from the subject of the book.

All in all highly recommended, very interesting book that can be used (as is case with all Osprey books) as a reference for finding more detailed books on the subject. ( )

Insightful, interesting, detailed and well-researched. All aspects I expect to see from an Osprey book and all present and correct. The story of Russian army from the 90's to the present paints a picture of a military adapting to circumstances slowly, but eventually prevailing and modernising at an astounding rate. The uniform panels and photographs provide addition perspective and show just how much has changed. A very valuable read for anyone interested in modern military history. ( )
