Polyansky, I.A., Trofimov, E.V. Military doctrine of Russia and its role in ensuring military security and development of armed forces.

Abstract: Currently the threats to the military security of the Russian Federation - both internal and external, real and potential - remain an issue of concern. At the same time the military doctrine of the Russian Federation provides only for the general threats and specific sources of these threats are not mentioned. The lack of clear subject references for ensuring military security causes confusion, which makes strategic and operative planning more difficult. The authors study the above-mentioned problem and offer their ways to correct the Military Doctrine of the Russian Federation so it would meet the challenges of the modern reality.
