John Keep, The origins of Russian militarism.
This article, based on a lecture given to a non-specialist audience, considers some of the ways in which the Russian "service state", from its origins in sixteenth-century Muscovy to its evanescence in the Russian Empire of the mid-nineteenth century, affected the absolutist state order and the pre-modern national economy, the life of the common soldier, and the moral-intellectual outlook of the officers, a major element in the dvorianstvo or "service gentry". The argument is that the military represented a "sub-culture" poorly integrated into the community; and that Russia experienced a variant of the militarism that at one time or another has afflicted most European states. This tradition may have left an imprint on Soviet society as well, even if there are weightier, more direct reasons to explain the recent expansion of Soviet military power.
