  * Abstract:  &lt;br /&gt;
    EAG examines Russia’s securitized economy. After the annexation of Crimea in 2014, Russia’s economic strategy has become subordinated to security concerns. Taken together, the components of the economic strategy that unfolded after 2014 resulted in what can be called the ‘Kalashnikov economy’: i.e., a relatively unsophisticated and, in some ways, primitive economy that prioritizes regime and state security over market-driven economic development. This system is nevertheless durable and built for resilience.&lt;br /&gt;
