Sergey Anatolievich Batyushkin  graduated from the Frunze Military Academy (now called the Combined Arms  Academy of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation) with a prestigious &lsquo;gold  medal&rsquo; for academic excellence and was later an instructor at the institution.  He is also a Doctor of Military Sciences, and a member of the Russian Academy  of Military Science. Batyushkin&rsquo;s impressive military\/academic credentials make  him well-suited for authoring <em>Preparation  and Conduct of Military Actions in Local Wars and Armed Conflicts<\/em>. For those familiar with contemporary Russian military  writing, the significance of the phrase &ldquo;local wars and  armed conflicts&rdquo; [&#x43B;&#x43E;&#x43A;&#x430;&#x43B;&#x44C;&#x43D;&#x44B;&#x445; &#x432;&#x43E;&#x439;&#x43D;&#x430;&#x445; &#x438; &#x432;&#x43E;&#x43E;&#x440;&#x443;&#x436;&#x435;&#x43D;&#x43D;&#x44B;&#x445; &#x43A;&#x43E;&#x43D;&#x444;&#x43B;&#x438;&#x43A;&#x442;&#x430;&#x445;] in the title  will not be lost. The  phrase is often encountered in this context but is seldom explained. Batyushkin  starts his discourse by defining what exactly &ldquo;local wars and armed conflicts&rdquo;  means.<\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><a href='\/download\/downloads.php?icode=563' target='_blank' title=\"click to download (pdf)\"><br \/>\nDownload the publication<\/a> to keep reading.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><span class='np'><a href='\/research\/research.php?icode=6' target='_blank'>More Research Division Publications&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>NDC Public Affairs Office<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book Review Russian Studies 03\/18: Sergey Batyushkin&#8217;s Preparation and Conduct of Military Actions in Local Wars and Armed<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","editor_plus_copied_stylings":"{}","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"post_badge":[],"class_list":["post-12728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"NDC","author_link":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/author\/admin_3rwqf6tj\/"},"modified_by":null,"author_meta":{"display_name":"NDC","author_link":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/author\/admin_3rwqf6tj\/"},"featured_img":null,"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","trp-custom-language-flag":"","morenews-featured":"","morenews-large":"","morenews-medium":""},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/category\/news\/\" rel=\"category tag\">News<\/a>","tag_info":"News","comment_count":0,"coauthors":[],"tax_additional":{"categories":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/category\/news\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">News<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">News<\/span>"]}},"relative_dates":{"created":"Publi\u00e9 8 ans il y a","modified":"Mis \u00e0 jour 5 mois il y a"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Publi\u00e9 le novembre 2, 2018","modified":"Mise \u00e0 jour le janvier 15, 2026"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Publi\u00e9 le novembre 2, 2018 14:49","modified":"Mise \u00e0 jour le janvier 15, 2026 09:24"},"featured_img_caption":"","series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12728"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12728\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12728"},{"taxonomy":"post_badge","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_badge?post=12728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
