Presentation of a book “The Equation of Security” by Dr.Alexei
Arbatov, member of YABLOKO’s Political Committee, head of
the International Security Centre with the Russian Academy
of Sciences, took place in YABLOKO’s Moscow office today.
YABLOKO’s leader Dr.Sergei Mitrokhin and member of Political
Committee and the founder of the party Dr.Grigory Yavlinsky
participated in the presentation.
The book offers an assessment of the international security
system and the place of the Russian Federation in the present
changeable concept of international relations. Some of the
key postulates of the book lie in the decision
of YABLOKO’s Political Committee “On Russia’s Foreign Policies”.
Progressing degradation of the general purpose forces, overestimated
role of the nuclear weapons, low rates of modernisation of
strategic forces, collapse of the military-industrial complex,
Russia’s lagging in modern military technologies and snowballing
reclamations on the Russian weapons – these are only some
of problems addressed in the book.
According to Alexei Arbatov, only the European vector of
development can ensure Russia’s perspective.
