Aleksandr Svechin and the Foundations of Soviet Strategy

Aleksandr Svechin is one of the most influential yet understudied military theorists of the 20th century. His work laid the foundation for Soviet operational art and continues to shape Russian strategic thought today. Aleksandr Svechin and the Foundations of Soviet Strategy is the first English-language book dedicated to Svechin’s ideas, offering a comprehensive analysis of his military theories, intellectual evolution, and lasting impact on modern warfare.

This book is an essential resource for scholars and students specializing in military theory, comparative strategy, and twentieth-century warfare. Additionally, it will be valuable to military officers, analysts, and policymakers interested in the evolution of Russian strategic thinking and its relevance to modern warfare. Lastly, the clear presentation style will appeal to informed general readers with an interest in military history and strategy.

From Words to War: Ukraine in the Russian Press, 2014-2022

This book proceeds from a simple question – “What prompted the Russian-Ukrainian war?”

The answers are presented here in the words of primary sources: public statements and reporting from political actors, journalists and commentators addressed to Russian-speaking audiences. Much of this content is published in book form in English for the first time.

Most of the articles, speeches, interviews and reports featured in the book originally appeared in East View’s English-language periodical The Current Digest of the Russian Press. Coverage starts during the 2014 Russian occupation of the Crimea and continues right up to the invasion.
