MilitaryRussia assumed control of Soviet assets abroad and most of the Soviet Union's production facilities and defense industries are located in the country.[108] The Russian military is divided into the Ground Forces, Navy, and Air Force.

There are also three independent arms of service: Strategic Rocket Forces, Military Space Forces, and the Airborne Troops. In 2006, the military had 1.037 million personnel on active duty.[109]
Russia has the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world. It has the second largest fleet of ballistic missile submarines and is the only country apart from the U.S. with a modern strategic bomber force.[16]
The country has a large and fully indigenous arms industry, producing all of its own military equipment. Russia is the world's top supplier of weapons, a spot it has held since 2001, accounting for around 30% of worldwide weapons sales[110] and exporting weapons to about 80 countries.[111] Following the Soviet practice, it was mandatory before 2007 for all male citizens aged 18–27 to be drafted for two years' Armed Forces service. Various problems associated with this, such as dedovschina (institutionalised physical and psychological abuse), explain why the armed forces have reduced the conscription term first to 18 months in 2007 and then to 12 since 2008,
and are planning to increase the proportion of contract servicemen to 70% of the armed forces by 2010.[ -

Defense expenditure has quadrupled over the past six years.[112] Official government military spending for 2008 is $40 billion, making it the eighth largest in the world,[113] though various sources, including US intelligence,[114] and the International Institute for Strategic Studies,[109] have estimated Russia’s military expenditures to be considerably higher.[115] Currently, the military is undergoing a major equipment upgrade with about $200 billion on procurement of military equipment between 2006 and 2015.[116]

Major reforms to improve the organization and the efficiency of the military are currently ongoing, headed by current Defense Minister Anatoliy Serdyukov.[117] The main idea behind his reforms is the transformation from a mass mobilization army to a small force of contract soldiers.. . .
Addressing acute and long-standing issues such as the ineffectiveness of Russia’s defense industrial and procurement policies has also been one of Serdyukov's chief aims.[117] -

The Russian Constitution guarantees free, universal health care for all citizens.[162]
Reply
But in practice, free health care is restricted due, for example, to propiska regime.[163][164] While Russia has more physicians, hospitals, and health care workers than almost any other country in the world on a per capita basis,[165][166] since the collapse of the Soviet Union the health of the Russian population has declined considerably as a result of social, economic, and lifestyle changes.[167] As of 2007, the average life expectancy in Russia is 61.5 years for males and 73.9 years for females.[168] The average Russian life expectancy of 67.7 years at birth is 10.8 years shorter than the overall figure in the European Union.
