Analyzing the Soviet Press - Spot Report Number 1. The Irrelevance Today of Sokolovskiy's Book Military Strategy

Abstract

The bible of Soviet strategic thinking in the 1960s was the work edited by Marshal V. D. Sokolovskiy. Although the question of the work's obsolescence was raised in the 1970s, it was only with the appearance of a recent book, by Deputy Chief of the General Staff Gareev that the issue could be definitively settled. According to Gareev, Sokolovskiy is now out of date with respect to the specific features of modern war, and it is necessary to restore all the old strategic principles and categories that had been rejected or revised b Sokolovskiy.
