description The purpose of this article is to analyze developments in Russian military doctrine since the breaking-up of the Soviet Union in December 1991 and to relate them to the process of the Russian Federation’s creating and developing its own foreign policy. The author examines the way the doctrine and foreign policy have departed from the Soviet legacy from which they sprang and have come to terms with Russia’s new existence as an independent state with an international position that is less solid than was the USSR’s in its day and with different allies and responsibilities. The article comes to the conclusion that the Russian doctrine has now reached a high degree of maturity, a fact that would lead one to expect that its development will depend chiefly on the changes going on in the international situation, and, specifically, on the position Russian adopts vis-à-vis the construction of a pan-European security system.
