In recent years, Western experts have generally portrayed the
Kremlin's actions as either strategic or tactical. Yet this
proposition raises a very important question: how closely does the
West's interpretation of Russian strategy reflect the country's own
definitions? While many military historians have sought to
interpret Russian strategy, 'Strategiya' takes a different
approach. It brings together, in English, the classic works of the
Russian art of strategy, which were rediscovered after the collapse
of the Soviet Union. Instead of explaining his analysis of Russia's
contemporary strategy, Ofer Fridman offers his translation of and
commentary upon the founding texts of Russia's own Clausewitzes,
Baron Jominis and Liddell Harts, who have been inspiring Russian
strategic thinking--both its conceptualisation and its
implementation--from the moment Moscow rejected the exclusive role
of Marxism-Leninism in strategic affairs. Russian contemporary
strategists draw their inspiration from three main schools of
thought. While works by Soviet military thinkers have already been
translated into English, those by both Imperial strategists and
military thinkers in exile have remained almost inaccessible to the
Western reader. Filling this lacuna, 'Strategiya' offers a
fascinating glimpse inside the foundations of Russian strategic
thought and practice.
