On the issue of national security: assessment of Finland’s mobilization experience in connection with joining NATO

Abstract

The mobilization readiness of the state and the effective and sufficient measures preceding it for planning mobilization training at all levels of government, in the sectoral context of the Russian economy, Russian society and an individual citizen in modern foreign policy conditions, conditions of foreign economic sanctions pressure on the Russian Federation from many, primarily Western European countries and the United States and the conduct of a special military operation in Ukraine are becoming the most important a factor of national security. The modern geopolitical process is also characterized by an increasingly aggressive policy of the NATO military bloc, which is rapidly moving towards the borders of the Russian Federation, which raises the urgency of the problems of vulnerability and the real creation of an unstable situation on Russia’s western borders. Russian scientists have repeatedly noted in their publications the high mobilization efficiency of the Russian state in crucial historical periods of its development, the ability to mobilize society and citizens of the country. Mobilization in emergency circumstances was a common thing in the Russian national tradition. However, today the Russian Federation is once again facing real threats to its statehood and national security. Practical measures in the system of mobilization planning and mobilization, which are solved daily at all levels of government and public administration, local self-government, enterprises and organizations of the industrial complex of the country need a deeper and more thorough analysis, reflection, development of measures and effective solutions in order to improve mobilization planning.
