Summary / Abstract (Note) | Few countries in the world have the tradition of maintaining and sustaining a mighty military. Since the time of Peter the Great, Russia has an established military tradition of a great power. With the tide of time it has fought many wars; won some and lost others, but the tradition is transcendental and continues to inspire young Russians in the ethos of their military generals. The war with Napoleon in 1812, the Crimean War of the early 1850s, the Russo- Japanese war of 1905, the First World War of 1914-1918 and the Second World War of 1939-1945 are few of them. |
