Communism may be dead in Russia, but the obsession with 'threats' continues, rallying the population and keeping security elites in power. This makes Russia an uncomfortable world player to live with. A must read.--Beatrice Heuser, professor and chair of International Relations, School of Politics and International Relations, University of Reading (UK)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs Russia reasserts itself on the international stage, the relationship between its civilian and military spheres remains one of the determining factors in the organization of political power. Thomas Gomart's \u003ci\u003eRussian Civil-Military Relations: Putin's Legac\u003c\/i\u003ey looks beyond traditional dualism between the Kremlin and the military, introducing the role of the security services in Russian power distribution. With the support of the siloviki (security service) and justification through the fight against international terrorism, Putin worked throughout his administration to reestablish presidential control over the military. As Russia transitions to Dmitry Medvedev's presidency, it is important to not only review the Putin presidency, which has given many of the country's institutions their shape, but also to reach back further into post-communist and Soviet history for an understanding of the realities of today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eRussian Civil-Military Relations\u003c\/i\u003e provides crucial analysis of the nature and evolution of the balance between civilian and military institutions. These relations will continue to influence regime development, security policy, and societal attitudes that build from Putin's Russia to Medvedev's administration and into the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eThomas Gomart \u003c\/b\u003eis director of the Russia\/NIS Center at the French Institute for nternational Relations (IFRI) in Paris and lectures on international affairs and geopolitics at the Special Military School of Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan.
