Dmitry Rogozin, the former head of Roscosmos, announced through his network that a new book titled War and Peace with Terms and Definitions has been released. The release took place a week ago and was initially presented to subscribers via a Telegram channel. The publication marks Rogozin’s foray into compiling a military glossary that captures current terminology, including terms connected to Special Military Operations. The author indicated that the edition is produced under the authorization of a recognized publishing entity, specifically the AST, though its print run will be limited due to the nature of the work as a dictionary.
The maker of the book expressed a clear recommendation for readers to add this dictionary to their collections, highlighting that the material contains a wealth of unique and practical information. He suggested that interested buyers should act promptly since copies are scarce. The author also hinted at distributing some copies directly to front line units, with the intention of supporting command detachments and battalion leaders who are shaping strategic and tactical capabilities for their teams. The guidance was for readers to study the text and consider it a resource for developing leadership and operational insight within a military context. The overarching message emphasized that those who rise through ranks without formal academy graduation can still benefit from the knowledge contained within these pages.
In discussing the origin of the book, Rogozin traced the idea back to his father, Oleg Konstantinovich Rogozin, who passed away in 2010. The elder Rogozin was recognized as the author of the first edition of the dictionary in the 2002 release, and Rogozin noted both himself and his grandfather, Alexei, as co-authors in some capacity. This lineage was presented as a continuation of a family tradition of documenting military terminology and operational language. The narrative points to a longstanding effort to consolidate accurate terms and definitions for preparedness and comprehension within the force.
Earlier reports mentioned that Rogozin’s prior publication, a book titled Western Front Without Change, achieved notable attention. It reportedly sold around a hundred copies in the initial two months following its release, supported by a broader print run later stated to be seven thousand copies. Subsequent information revealed that Rogozin had personally purchased those hundred copies in order to distribute them among participants connected to the broader strategic or military initiatives involved in the operations discussed. This reflection underscores a pattern of direct involvement by Rogozin in sharing his work with individuals connected to ongoing campaigns and educational efforts.
