Mindset of the Russian Military

[vinceasneed]

I have heard many people say that the Russian military and in some regard the Russian government still think in a Soviet era mindset. I am very curious as to if this is true. That kind of mindset seems very antiquated. I would think it would lead to eventual problems. Russia is having issues now and I wonder if some of that comes from this mindset. But I wonder if they train and plan like they did back in the Cold War. I am sure they have updated some but I wonder how much?
