This article focuses on ‘On Military Tactics’ (‘O ratnom povedenii’), composed in winter 1700/1701 by Ivan Pososhkov and considered to be one of the first analytical military treatises written in the Russian language. Pososhkov heavily criticized foreign influences on native warfare, in particular, the Western infantry tactics and drill introduced by the tsar Peter the Great and his predecessors and reflected some controversial problems of contemporary military culture. Despite his declared hostility towards Western methods of warfare, Pososhkov acknowledged the utility of a ‘military science’ and read some foreign books on the subject.

本文重点介绍伊万·波索什科夫 (Ivan Pososhkov) 于 1700/1701 年冬季撰写的“论军事战术”(“O ratnom povedenii”)，被认为是最早用俄语撰写的分析性军事论文之一。波索什科夫严厉批评了外国对本土战争的影响，特别是沙皇彼得大帝及其前任引入的西方步兵战术和演习，反映了当代军事文化中的一些有争议的问题。尽管他公开表示敌视西方的战争方法，但波索什科夫承认“军事科学”的实用性，并阅读了一些关于该主题的外国书籍。
