Abstract
Such aspects of the proclaimed new Soviet military doctrine as
'reasonable sufficiency' and 'defensive strategy' are receiving considerable
attention from Western observers. At the same time, relatively
less attention is being paid to another facet of this doctrine: the
transition from quantity to quality in providing for the defense needs
of the Soviet Union, announced by Mikhail Gorbachev at the 19th
Communist Party Conference in June 1988. From now on, the Soviet
leader stated, the security of the USSR would rely not on quantitative
factors, but on high quality of military manpower, military hardware
and military science.
