Russia has military bases and military objects in foreign countries, mostly on the territory of the former Soviet Republics.

Following the break up of the Soviet Union many of the early warning radar stations ended up in former Soviet republics. Some, such as the radars at Skrunda-1 in Latvia and Dnepr radars in Ukraine are no longer part of the Russian early warning network. Others such as the radars in Belarus and Kazakhstan are rented by Russia.

Some of the bases are located in disputed territories not recognized internationally; they are listed in the form such as "Abkhazia of Georgia".
