The journal "Voennaja Mysl'" has been published under the auspices of the Ministry of Defence since its first issue. The Chiefs of Staff are directly responsible for creating the journal.

For the broad public, as well as researchers from the western world, the journal became available again only after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
