Abstract
This issue examines the role of the Russian siloviki since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Brian Taylor provides an overview of the literature on siloviki and some of the central concepts, findings, and debates. Mark Galeotti analyzes how the Kremlin has put Russia's three main security services—the FSB, SVR, and GRU—on a war footing. Pavel Luzin argues that the Kremlin’s goal is to prevent the military elite from becoming political actors. Kurt Haven focuses on the acute staffing shortages in the Russian police. Finally, Margarete Klein shows how the Kremlin brought the many volunteer formations under tighter control.
