The defense industry has a chance

It will not be difficult for Rogozin to be a good leader of the Defense-Industrial Complex. For the simple reason that it is quite difficult to lead him worse than Ivanov. During the 6 years that Sergei Borisovich oversaw the defense industry, he (with the full approval of Vladimir Putin) created a dozen united companies, which are caricatures of the Soviet defense-industrial ministries. In a market economy they are completely ineffective. Their function is reduced to the redistribution of funds from efficient enterprises to those who are on the verge of bankruptcy. Of course, at the same time, top managers do not forget themselves, their loved ones. Rogozin comes across as an extremely cynical, but at the same time very rational person. At least the recommendations that he has recently made regarding the defense industry - privatization, ensuring competition - look reasonable.
