Abstract

The current development of Russia is not based on the values of military production and this country does not satisfy the fundamental conditions of an arms race. However, old weapons remain present in Russia. Besides, the military sector is fundamentally dependent on the level of development and on the national capacities in terms of human resources, capital and research-development. If the President Poutin wishes the democratic modernization, the stock of capital has collapsed, the arms industry lobby is in ruin, the technological development is victim of backwardness, the economy is very weakened, the foreign investment is insufficient, while corruption has spread throughout all the sectors of social life and the educational and health system has deteriorated. Nonetheless, the fact remains that Russia may rearm and quickly restore an important power, notably thanks to a strong culture of military mobilization. Thus, the military system could live again. Its mechanism is damaged, but it remains repairable.
