ABSTRACT

The article provides an analytical review of domestic strategic planning documents regarding the development of the concept of «military risk», individual decisions of the United Nations and the Western coalition on military risk issues, as well as an express analysis of Russian research on security and state governance. The purpose of the study is to systematize the main provisions of Russia's state policy in the field of state governance of military risks, as well as the scientific results of relevant research, and to summarize the main conceptual and methodological solutions in the study of modern planning and security issues. Methodology. The principles of historical and systematic approaches, comparative analysis, analysis and generalization of the objects under study were used to determine current trends in state management of military risks. Results. The article reveals the main content and shows the dynamics in defining the concept of “military risk” in domestic strategic planning documents. An attempt is made to analyze the effectiveness of state management of military risks. The antagonistic opposite approaches of Russia and the united West to understanding national, regional, and global security are shown. The interest of Western management “elites” in the commercial component of modern warfare is revealed. The domestic search for new approaches to state management in the field of national security by the Russian military and political leadership is reflected. It has been shown that Russia did not objectively assess military risks at the time and did not take timely and effective measures to minimize their consequences. Attention is focused on the risks that are formed under the influence of the factor called the "fifth column" by the President of Russia.
