Title: ON REVISION OF THE MILITARY DOCTRINE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Abstract: In the new version of the Military Doctrine, the topical issues of the Russian Military Doctrine remained unchanged in general, however, such objectives as optimization of defense expenditures, effi cient planning and allocation of fi nancial and material resources were excluded from its text, which situation creates higher risks in planning of the state armament program in the 2016–2025 period. Due to the fact that it is impossible in present conditions to make macroeconomic forecasts for more than 1–2 years, a mechanism of the offi cial annual revision of that program is to be introduced.
