Abstract : The military and technical cooperation (MTC) including technology transfer between the countries is officially carried out in the name of government of the country. Namely, any defense related cooperation between the countries can be initiated and promoted only under the intergovernmental agreement such as a memorandum of understanding and other types of arrangement. That is because the exchange of things harmful to world peace and security must be thoroughly controlled at the national level. In such context, the export and import of military goods from western countries to the others are being carried out under the UN regulation based export control system. However, the details of Russian export control system are still less known. Hence, this work has investigated and analyzed the Russian MTC system managing domestic and international collaborations, and illuminated the governmental structure, the approval procedure in-between the government institute, and necessary documentation work for the entire export control in Russia. Through this work, it is expected that the people of interest in export control have a good opportunity to improve the common sense on world level export control by understanding the Russia's MTC system itself and comparing it to the ones of other countries.
