A massive reform effort begun in the wake of Russia’s troubled 2008 invasion of Georgia has transformed what long were crumbling, demoralized forces into an agile military capable of swift action in Ukraine and Syria. Russia’s young men once typically shunned their obligatory military service, but today’s recruits talk eagerly of longer-term enlistments. (AP Photo/File)
