The present report is a study made for the Swedish Defense Commission. It aims to describe Russian military capability in a ten-year perspective and constitutes a follow-up study of a report published in 1998. Its point of departure is that Russian military capability is a reflection of the Russian society. Therefore, sectors which have been considered to influence military capability have been examined (e.g. democratic development, domestic and foreign policy, civil-military relations, the economy, the armed forces, development of security policy-related doctrines, the Russian view on the character future wars, military R&D and military industry). The last chapter consists of conclusions drawn from the previous chapters and outlines two examples of future development. The role of the Russian Security Council, military reform, WMD and the second war in Chechnya and how these factors influence Russian military capability are also examined. A weakened democratic development together with centralization and a growing influence for the security organs give reason for concern. A partial remilitarization of society has also occurred.
