But it also looks more broadly at Putin's recreation of Russian military power and its expansion to include a range of new capabilities, from mercenaries to operatives in a relentless information war against Western powers. This is an engrossing strategic overview of a rejuvenated Russian military and the successes and failures on the battlefield"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, $d 1952- 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Russia $x History, Military $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x History, Military $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Foreign relations $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Chechni͡a (Russia) $x History $y Civil War, 1994- 650 0 $a Ukraine Conflict, 2014- 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781472847539 941 $a 4 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013713.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305042752.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305022031.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207011714.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BB585BD6963411ED9CA5374839ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
