Air power Soviet Union- Russia
Introduction
As soon as the Soviet Union had one of the greatest aerial power. The Soviet regime, similar to Nazi and fascist totalitarianism, saw in the technological advances a tool for the creation of the ‘new man’ protagonist of the Bolshevik society, which should replace the present society, inevitably contaminated by the past. Indeed and scope of the policy undertaken by Stalin, the Soviet aeronautical industry received an important impulse, which led to the development of quite advanced aircraft for its time. The improvement in Soviet aeronautical technology could be seen in many flights aimed at beating world records in the world of civil aviation (transpolar flights), its Soviet Air Force.

conclusion
The Russian Federation received most of the most modern combat planes and 65 % of military personnel. The main commands of the former Soviet VVS: long -range aviation, military transport aviation and frontal aviation were renamed, with few changes, in Russian VVS commands. However, many regiments, airplanes and personnel were claimed by the republics on which they were based, forming the core of the new air forces of the Republics. Some aircraft in Belarus and Ukraine (eight strategic bombers TU-160) were returned to Russia, sometimes in exchange for debt reductions, as well as a long-range aviation division based on Dolon in Kazakhstan.
