The article consists of two parts. The first one includes general characteristics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and a detailed description of the Strategic Deterrence Forces. The article starts with the analysis and evaluation of the Strategic Deterrence Forces’ doctrinal assumption and concept of use included in the Russian Federation’s National Security Concept and the Russian Federation’s War Doctrine. The author stresses that the provisions concerning the nuclear weapon use are very general and create a possibility of various interpretations, which is supposed to increase the feeling of deterrence forces’ threat. An analysis of the discussion carried out in Russia related to the issue of advancing nuclear attack being kept in the doctrine is an essential element of these considerations. In the further part of the article, [No 2(43)2001], the Strategic Deterrence Forces’ components have been introduced, land forces’ component: Strategic Missiles Forces and the air component (Strategic Long Range Air Force), the navy (nuclear submarines equipped with ballistic or homing missiles). Their structure, basic ordinance, combat potential and the role they play in the Russian nuclear deterrence concept have been discussed. It has been stressed in the conclusion that Russia is not going to give up its plans to keep the Strategic Deterrence Forces on an appropriate level. Not only do they have to maintain the deterrence potential, but balance the conventional forces attenuation as well, which resulted from the armed forces’ restructuring providing for conventional forces reduction to half by 2005.
