The Royal and Russian Navies: Cooperation, Competition and Confrontation (Russian Strategy and Power) - Softcover

 
9781526184597: The Royal and Russian Navies: Cooperation, Competition and Confrontation (Russian Strategy and Power)

Synopsis

Before the political rupture between Russia and the West—triggered by Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the invasion of Ukraine in 2022—the Royal Navy and the Russian Navy engaged in a complex programme of military cooperation. From 1988, the Royal Navy first collaborated with the Soviet Navy, then the Russian Federation Navy, culminating in a 1998 Memorandum of Understanding on naval cooperation. This book explores that unique period, examining how both navies operated and the lessons Russia drew about maritime power in advancing its global interests. With the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and growing tensions between Russia and the Euro-Atlantic community, the maritime domain remains a critical arena for defence, deterrence, and potential military dialogue. The lessons from this era of cooperation offer valuable insights for navigating an uncertain future.

From the Back Cover

'This is a most valuable and timely review of Royal Navy/Russian Navy relations, ably compiled by two highly qualified authoritative authors. From wide experience they analyse periods when the two Navies have deterred each other to a promising quarter-century of constructive dialogue ending in further depressing antagonism. Strongly recommended.'
Admiral Sir Jock Slater GCB LVO. First Sea Lord, 1995-98

'This excellent book provides not only a superb historical record of the relationship between the Royal and Russian Navies, but also offers hugely insightful analysis on the importance of understanding and engagement. Enriched with fascinating vignettes of personal interactions revealing the character of the Russian naval leadership, it is gold dust for anyone involved in developing maritime strategy and policy.'
Admiral Sir Tim Fraser KCB. Vice Chief of Defence Staff, 2019-22

'The Royal and Russian Navies reminds us that alongside the very necessary requirements to deter and defend against future Russian aggression, there is a need for dialogue and pragmatic engagement if only to prevent things getting worse. This completely unique and quite fascinating review of the initially hopeful but eventually failing role that the two navies played in this process before Russia's attack on Ukraine provides both encouragement and warning. It gives a very human account and is highly recommended. Policy-makers, in particular, need to read it. '
Professor Geoff Till, Rajaratnam Professor of Strategic Studies, RSIS Singapore.

'This outstanding book provides a critical assessment of Putin's Russia, focussing on the clash of cultures between open and closed societies, one that can be traced through the very different ways in which closed societies attempt to run navies, and the strategic priorities that shape Soviet and Russian naval policy.'
Professor Andrew Lambert, Laughton Professor of Naval History, King's College, London
