Malmlof, Tomas	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

Russia’s interference in Ukraine and the crisis in its relations with Western countries have brought new challenges to its State Armament Program for the period 2011–2020. Post-Soviet Russia has remained dependent on Ukrainian components and subsystems for certain arms systems. New restrictions on access to Western dual-use technology and electronic components could hamper Russian technological development. The extent of the impact of Ukrainian and Western sanctions indicates that Russian adaptation to the new situation will probably take longer and come with a higher price tag than has so far been officially communicated. It is also plausible that Russia will have to enhance its defense industrial cooperation with China and India.

Summary/Abstract

When Vladimir Putin described the breakup of the Soviet Union several years ago as "the greatest geopolitical catastrophe" of the 20th century, his words triggered a strong reaction in the West and among Russia's neighbors. They sensed that the Russian president's words held not only nostalgia for the now-vanished great power but also hidden imperial ambitions. Indeed, Russia's political class of the late 20th and early 21st century is overcoming its post-imperial syndrome with difficulty. This phenomenon is not unique-many European empires faced the same problem in the 20th century. In Russia's case, the situation is compounded by the fact that the country's disintegration meant the loss of territories that had never been viewed as colonies but had been seen as a natural part of the country's historical and cultural core. For the first time in history, the Russian people have become a divided nation. After the Soviet Union ceased to exist, 25 million ethnic Russians found themselves living outside the Russian Federation, which could not but have an impact on the policies of Moscow and the other newly independent states.1 At the same time, Putin's words also carried a deeper meaning that few people noticed.
