Technology in Russian Strategic Culture: From the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This book traces the dynamics of military-technological innovation in Russia over the last hundred and fifty years. The analysis relies extensively on primary data obtained from Russian archives, complemented by a series of expert interviews. The goal is to understand whether and to what extent Russia&apos;s respective discourses and practices constitute a distinct strategic cultural approach to military-technological innovation. From an empirical standpoint, the analysis is guided by six substantial arguments derived from the existing literature on Russian strategic culture, technology and military doctrine, interviews conducted by the author, and partially from the author&apos;s own knowledge of the problematic. In theoretical terms, this book offers and graphically nuances a novel conceptual model, theorizing processes related to military-technological innovation and the role of strategic culture. The last two arguments guiding the empirical focus of this research are derived from the theoretical discussion. This model is applied to three case studies, with the key findings represented graphically at the end of each chapter: the introduction of rifled breech-loading weapons in Imperial Russia in the nineteenth century, the invention of nuclear weapons in the Soviet Union in the twentieth century, and the development of precision-guided weapons in post-Soviet Russia in the twenty-first century. The findings, which identify the existence of a distinctive Russian strategic culture of military-technological innovation in a long-term historical perspective, allow this book to propose a new, seven-dimensional view of this phenomenon.
