The collapse of the Soviet Union left Russia grappling with political instability, economic turmoil, and a diminished global standing. In the years that followed, attempts at rapid democratization under Boris Yeltsin gave way to Vladimir Putin's determination to restore Russia's strength, sovereignty, and military capability. This book traces the sweeping reforms of the Russian armed forces under the New Look strategy, initiated in the wake of the 2008 Russia-Georgia conflict. It examines the transformation of the Ground Forces, Air Force, Navy, Strategic Rocket Forces, and airborne units, highlighting the move from mass mobilization to fully professional, technologically advanced brigades. Readers will explore how modernization, restructuring, and improved training reflect Russia's evolving threat perception-particularly the focus on regional instability and challenges from the south-while reshaping its global military posture. Combining historical insight, strategic analysis, and detailed accounts of military reform, this book offers a definitive guide to understanding Russia's contemporary military power and the geopolitical calculations driving it.
