Abstract
This article presents the most important categories of scientific and/or quasi-scientific works and sources on the contemporary military that have appeared in socialist states. In addition, it points out that major characteristics of these works stem largely from the peculiarities of the socialist political systems and their dominant ideologies. The great imbalance between the immense quantity and, on average, low scientific quality of the works published on the contemporary military is discussed, along with the relationship between this production in socialist states and Marxism.
