A detailed illustrated study of Putin's shadowy security and
paramilitary armed forces. While the size of Russia's regular
forces has shrunk recently, its security and paramilitary elements
have become increasingly powerful. Under the Putin regime they have
proliferated and importantly seem set to remain Russia's most
active armed agencies for the immediate future. In parallel, within
the murky world where government and private interests intersect, a
number of paramilitary 'private armies' operate almost as
vigilantes, with government toleration or approval. This book
offers a succinct overview of the official, semi-official and
unofficial agencies that pursue Russian government and
quasi-government objectives by armed means, from the 200,000-strong
Interior Troops, through Police and other independent departmental
forces, down to private security firms. Featuring rare photographs,
and detailed colour plates of uniforms, insignia and equipment,
this study by a renowned authority explores the Putin regime's
shadowy special-forces apparatus, active in an array of
counter-terrorist and counter-mafia wars since 1991.
