This book explores Russia's security policy, focusing on how it uses "strategic asymmetry" to gain an advantage over superior adversaries. It evaluates how far Russia's security policy is underpinned by "hybrid war operations" and discusses how it has been applied in specific cases, such as the war in Ukraine and the Russian anti-satellite program.

This comprehensive book delves into the intricate evolution of Russia's security policy, drawing upon extensive original research encompassing a wide range of sources such as official documents, political and military elite speeches, interviews, and reports. Spanning from the early 20th century to the present day, the book assesses the extent to which Russia's security policy is rooted in the concept of "strategic asymmetry," which involves Russia accepting its inferior military position and employing a diverse range of military and non-military strategies, including public opinion manipulation, economic leverage, and external security approaches, collectively referred to as Russia's "hybrid war operations," to overcome a militarily and economically superior adversary.

The book explores the historical and contemporary applications of Russia's security policy in specific contexts, including the ongoing war in Ukraine, the Russian anti-satellite program, and Russia's contemporary Afghan policy. By examining these cases, the book aims to elucidate the underlying reasons and mechanisms behind Russia's adoption of different security strategies and methods.

Through its detailed analysis and insightful perspectives, this book provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of Russia's security policy and its implications for global security. It serves as a crucial resource for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the evolving geopolitical landscape and Russia's role in shaping it.
