Serdyukov's resignation
November 6, 2012 Julia Latynina
So, Putin nevertheless removed the Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov after the scandal with the Obornservice. There are two versions of the cause of the scandal, none of which is related to corruption.
According to the first version, this is the revenge of his former father-in-law, or rather the ex-test, Victor Zubkov. Serdyukov owes in many ways his career Viktor Zubkov, and Zubkov is the same person whose signature flaunts on documents on the establishment of the Lake Cooperative.
Rumors about the numerous novels by Serdyukov went before. For example, it was said that the previous passion of the Minister of Defense was the head of the 25th tax inspectorate, the same one through which (when Serdyukov’s head of the tax service) was a refund of taxes in the ill-fated Magnitsky case. (Pay attention, a busy person, I started all the novels at work.)
But in this case, Zubkov could decide that Serdyukov (who, according to rumors, did not live with his daughter Julia for a long time), crossed all the borders. The 10-room apartment of Ms. Evgenia Vasilyeva from Oboronservis was in the same house as the apartment of the Minister of Defense, which was found in her search at 6 in the morning.
Actually, at first glance, everything indicates precisely this household, the version of disassembly. Including the site Lifenews.ru, which tells us about the defense of Vasilyeva, which was discovered during the search, just as the oppositionist Yashin discovered by the house at Sobchak reported. And public publication of the list of rings-off-antiquity Vasilyeva. The public seems to be understood: here, look, for the sins of which part of the body we took it.
In this version - which, in my opinion, is most convincing - only one detail does not fit. Vasilyeva’s apartment, where the Investigators of the SK in the morning found the Minister of Defense, as already mentioned, is in the same house as the apartment of the Minister of Defense. Keeper of the nuclear button.
That is, understandable, yes? Investigators of the UK with some piece of paper (and a search for a search in the case of nuclear and defense secrets-a piece of paper) enter the entrance of the house where the owner of one of the three nuclear suitcases of Russia lives, pass by the armed to the teeth of special security and, as if nothing had happened, take the Minister of Defense in shorts. Because of an angry father-in-law.
If you think about this details, you understand that the chairman of the board of directors of Gazprom Zubkov could not give an order to enter the super -preserving house, no matter how close to Putin. And even more so, Deputy Prime Minister Rogozin, whose post, of course, without the post of Minister of Defense, is nothing and who would like to divide money into defense orders, but which the Kremlin is, to put it mildly, as a populist and a showman.
Such an order could - purely technically - to give only one person besides Putin. This is the head of the presidential administration Sergey Ivanov.
A man who, under President Medvedev, fell into political oblivion. A man about whom Serdyukov regularly wiped his legs at meetings of the Security Council. If Putin asked him about corruption in the army, the answer was usually: "And this happened with my predecessor." A person who was so offended by this attitude that he began to prepare for the Council of People's Commissars as an excellent student, and if they asked a question about the army, he answered him so that Serdyukov looked incompetent. And who suddenly revived from political non -being and was appointed Putin head of the administration.
In any case, only one thing can be said: whoever was the main engine of this story (it is clear that everything was the interests: Zubkov, and Ivanov, and Rogozin), the story of investigators who catch the Minister of Defense of a nuclear power with a nuclear suitcase in a foreign apartment - this is a pure somali. This is the complete collapse of the state, Failed state.
The world is not so often monitoring Russia, but what is happening in it with a nuclear suitcase, he is following. And he will notice that if the Russian army no longer threatens the world, then regarding the Russian mess you can not say this.
As for Serdyukov’s actually, then there are two points. If Serdyukov was fired for going to the left, then why can others be, but Serdyukov cannot? For example, we have not seen Lyudmila Putin for a long time next to her august spouse. And when Lifenews.ru tell us about the wealth of Ms. Vasilyeva, they understand that no sensible person in this country thinks: “Here, there were corrupt officials, but they exposed them,” but he thinks: “If so, then what about others?” Under people in the Kremlin, the boat flows so, and they still chop holes in it.
As for the possibility that Serdyukov was removed for corruption, sorry: I do not consider fantastic options in my column.
