Abstract

Military doctrine forms an essential part of the security policy of a country. In this article I will analyse six military doctrines, which have been published in the USSR, the CIS and the Russian Federation between 1990 and 2000. I will provide a comparison of these doctrines on themes as the perception of the military‐political situation, threats, command & control over the forces, objectives and tasks of military employment and international military cooperation. The future Russian military doctrine will probably put more emphasis on joint military action by the Armed Forces and the other troops as well as on training and equipping of the forces aimed at irregular warfare.
