Ten years after the collapse of the Soviet Union an d a relatively short period of hegemony of the United States, a period of change led to a c le r formation of a new polycentric geopolitical order. The theses about the "end of history " presented by Francis Fukuyama in 1989 did not evolve, although they confirmed closure of the Cold War era. In the first years of the 21st century, especially after the economic crises (2008), the policies of the major states on the international scene increased assertiveness in external relations. This was particularly true of Russia, which since Vladimir Putin took power o n December 31, 1999 focused on the rebuilding of the empire, and marked the boundaries of the failed superpower. The Kremlin's actions resulted in the war with Georgia in 2008, t he seizure of the Crimea in 2014, and the intervention in Syria in 2015. In spite of demograp hic problems, the expansion of Western economic sanctions and relatively low oil and gas p rices, which are the main source of income for the country, the 2008 modernisation of the Russi an armed forces, was continued. The aim of the paper is to report the latest trends in the scale and scope of modernisation of the armoured component of Russian Ground Forces in the years 2015-2018 and the factors that had a direct impact on current conditions resulting fro m the emergence of the "new Cold War" in Russia's relations with the West after 2014.
