Abstract

U diplomskom radu se istražuje promijenjena uloga država u području sigurnosti, mjesto
privatnih vojnih kompanija kao instrumenta u realizaciji strateških ciljeva država te na koji
način Rusija koristi takve kompanije u sirijskom sukobu. U radu je opisan razvoj i nastanak
ruskih privatnih vojnih kompanija te se utvrđuje legalnost i legitimnost njihovog djelovanja i
postojanja. Pored navedenog, rad prikazuje djelovanje ruskih privatnih vojnih kompanija,
osobito Wagner Group u Siriji kroz analizu njihovih ciljeva, zadaća koje izvršavaju na terenu i
kako svojom prisutnošću ostvaruju realizaciju strateških ciljeva Rusije. Na koncu, procjenjuje se
ukupna korisnost njihovog angažiranja u odnosu na regularne vojne snage.

Abstract (english)

The thesis explores the changed state role in the security domain, the role of private military
companies as an instrument in the realization of strategic state goals, and how Russia uses such
companies in the Syrian conflict. The paper describes the development and emergence of
Russian private military companies and determines the legality and legitimacy of their activities
and existence. In addition, the paper presents the activities of Russian private military
companies, especially the Wagner Group in Syria through the analysis of their goals, the tasks
they perform in the field and how their presence achieves the realization of Russia's strategic
goals. Finally, the overall usefulness of their engagement in relation to regular military forces is
assessed.
