This thesis examines the evolution of the Russian military doctrines starting with the Soviet period until the most recent doctrine of the Russian Federation in 2014. Through this analysis, I aim to examine the transformation of political and military security perceptions of the Russian state and analyze how security issues are reflected in the official military doctrines. Along with the evolution, of the Russian military doctrines, which were subsequently restructured in 1993, 2000, 2010 and 2014, I will discuss the general security perception of the Russian Federation.
