Russia's nuclear weapons in the twenty-first century

Mikhailov Victor

Abstract

Russia is carrying out a comprehensive review and reform of its nuclear defence doctrine and forces. Its goal is to deploy a smaller, more modern, accurate and reliable deterrent to guarantee its national security and maintain its global influence, while converting the excess military atomic power into a source of energy for civilian use.
