    About this ebook

    A full and authoritative illustrated history of Russia's army since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, including Air Assault and Navy ground forces.

    Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia's army has undergone a turbulent transformation, from the scattered left-overs 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 colour images of the army in action, profiles of army leaders and defence ministers, as well as orders of battle and details of their equipment and dress, this is a vivid account of the army's troubled history and of its character, capabilities and status.

    Written by an internationally respected author with remarkable access to Russian-language sources and Russian veterans, this study is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the growing power of Russia's military.

      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.
