During the cold war the Soviet Union was the single largest
supplier of conventional weapons. With the collapse of first the
Warsaw Pact and then the USSR, arms transfers from the new state of
Russia virtually ceased. By 1996 Russia had once again emerged as a
significant source of major conventional weapons. While unable to
challenge the predominant position of the United States, it seems
likely that Russia will be a serious competitor to second-tier arms
suppliers such as France and the UK. In Russia and the Arms Trade a
group of Russian authors were commissioned to describe and assess
the arms trade policies and practices of Russia under new domestic
and international conditions. The authors, drawn from the
government, industry, and academic communities, offer a
wide-ranging assessment of the political, military, economic, and
industrial implications of Russian arms transfers together with
specific case studies of important bilateral arms transfer
relationships. Contributors: General Yri Kirshin (retired), Peter
Litavrin, Sergei Kortunov, Alexander Subbotin, Alexander Sergounin,
Elena Denezhkina, Irina Kobrinskaya, Sergei Kolpakov, Yuri Drugov,
Gennady Gornostaev, Anton Surikov, Pavel Felgengauer.
