	Russian Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The present Russian Navy was formed from the Soviet Navy after the dissolution of the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War in 1991.
		The origins of the Russian navy may be traced to the period between the 4th and the 6th century, when Early East Slavs were engaged in a struggle against the Byzantine Empire.
		The Russian Navy was considered the third strongest in the world on the eve of the Russo-Japanese War, which turned to be a catastrophe for the Russian military in general and the Russian Navy in particular.

	THE RUSSIAN NAVY'S FUTURE ROLE AND RELATIVE IMPORTANCE
		Navies are costly and one of the main contributors to the collapse of the Soviet Union was spending a huge amount on defence, like Soviet military spending, estimated by western sources to be 12-17% of GDP during the mid-eighties3, which ultimately weakened the economy.
		The current state of the Russian Navy and the outlook for its future development are the cause of some concern to her sailors, due to, firstly, Russia's Naval power is diminishing, the shipbuilding industry will be incapable of turning out nuclear submarines and ocean going vessels.
		The Russian Navy has decommissioned a lot of units and it is expected that the future navy will be smaller and relatively more modern, but it is highly unlikely that it will emerge as the technological equal of Western navies.

	CNS - A Tragic, 118-Count Indictment of the Russian Nuclear Navy
		The tragic spectacle of the Russian navy's thus-far ineffective efforts to save the 118 crew members on the Kursk nuclear submarine raises serious questions about Russia's continued ability to operate its nuclear fleet safely.
		On Wednesday, as hope seemed to evaporate, the Russian government suddenly announced that the crew had enough oxygen to last until Aug. 25 and that the lack of tapping on the hull likely meant that the crew was conserving energy.
		In the new Russian financial environment, the navy has accepted city sponsorship of vessels in order to guarantee food supplies and even needed equipment, which are funded by local governments eager to keep their young men out of Chechnya and in reasonable livable conditions during their required military service.
