Abstract
ABSTRACTIncreased activity and more aggressive behavior at sea have revitalized interest in the Russian Navy. Moscow communicates grand naval ambitions through official doctrines, while in reality the Navy is being developed as a predominantly coastal defense force. In the light of a troubled Russian economy, this raises the question of whether the Russian Navy is in fact increasing in strength, as the official rhetoric suggests, or rather is a declining force. This article examines how current geopolitical and economic factors influence Russian naval development. It argues that despite an inevitable decline in inventory, the Russian Navy is adapting pragmatically to the strategic and geopolitical circumstances and should be recognized as a capable potential adversary in the years to come.
