Abstract: The question of the conversion of the arms industries in Russia is part of the process of transition from the planned Soviet economy to a national market economy, with some transitional adaptations. The military burden of the former USSR is undoubtedly one of the major reasons for the failure of the Soviet experiment. Today it is necessary to reconvert this military production into civilian production, which comes up against the privileges acquired by the military-industrial complex, the existence of very powerful quasi-monopolies, military technologies that are not very adaptable to the production of goods necessary for the civilian economy, foreign competition, corruption and the difficulty of the State to engage in conversion processes that combine the maintenance of a powerful national defense coupled with the necessary civilian production that would commit the country to economic development comparable to that of the other great powers.
