In November 2012, Russia's Caspian Flotilla celebrated its 290th
anniversary. Established by Peter the Great in 1722, the Flotilla
was a key component of the Russian Empire's expansion into the
Caspian region, and nearly 300 years later, it remains a vital
element of continued Russian influence in its "south." The Russian
Ministry of Defense (MOD) describes the Caspian Flotilla as "not
only the southernmost outpost of Russia, but also the guarantor of
the integrity of maritime boundaries and the most important foreign
policy tool of the state in the Caspian Sea."1 The Flotilla has
recovered from the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics (USSR) in 1991 and its subsequent redeployment from Baku
to Astrakhan. Unlike other Russian fleets, it has not been reduced
in size, but has been the focus of significant investment in recent
years.
