Russia has or had military bases and military objects in foreign countries, mostly on the territory of former Soviet republics, called "near abroad" in Russian political parlance.
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.
In 2003, Kommersant newspaper published a map of the Russian military presence abroad.
Some of the bases are located in disputed territories not recognized internationally; they are listed in the form such as "Abkhazia (Georgia)".
Russian military presence at Kant Air Base, the 338th Russian Navy's long-haul communications center, anti-submarine torpedo weapons testing grounds (Karakol, Issyk Kul)
The Russian 4th Military Base has 2 main compounds in South Ossetia: one on the northwestern outskirts of Tskhinvali and another in Java. There is also a large number of troops stationed in the Leningor District.
Gabala Radar Station was rented until 2012. In 2013 the Gabala radar station building was transferred to Azerbaijan, but the equipment was dismantled and transported back to Russia.
Lourdes SIGINT Station was closed in 2002. In July 2014, after Putin's visit to Cuba, there were rumors about about its reactivation, quickly officially denied.
In 1995, Russia and Georgia signed a 25 year agreement for rental of military bases in Vaziani, Akhalkalaki and Batumi. Due to the political changes eventually the Russian bases were liquidated by 2007, with the exception of the breakaway territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, see Russia–Georgia relations.
