Gosboron conflict

Something there is wrong with this defense order. More than 20 trillion rubles plan to swell into it in the next few years. For the execution, the whole deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin was invented, a large-scale reform of the army was shut up and somehow not very much seen, except for hardware squabbles and sharing funds.
At the Minister of Defense, things are even worse.

In the structure of Oboronservis (a company, which is highlighted by various service functions of the Ministry of Defense), five criminal cases have been searched, and five criminal cases were instituted Searches in the mines of defense. Shot: 1tv.ru

The Investigative Committee believes that the damage to the state amounted to 3 billion rubles and this is from the implementation of “only 8 real estate objects”. And even like the investigators found the Minister of Elena Vasilyeva, who went to the office of the company controlled by his department, who was controlled by his department. True, representatives of the company (it was told by Lifenews) categorically refuted, saying that the minister was not observed in the Oboronservice building today. The minister himself said that until the end of the investigation, the prosecution is only “versions”.

Here one question arises: how do we have things to do with all sorts of initiatives in terms of military reform? Are everyone also stealing and doing nothing? There are several typical answers. First: the Ministry of Defense is a large economy and some abuse are inevitable there. The Ministry of Defense is almost the largest “employer” in Russia, and everything is very good with objects of different planes there.

And reforms of the structure of this volume are not dispensed with without linings. Serdyukova does not immediately like generals from the General Staff, officers and lobby of the military -industrial complex, and the latter - the most strongly. Moreover, the state defense order, advanced by them, in a certain sense is being revised. In part, for reasons, it was quite objective: in 2011, the state defense order was torn due to rather large defense defense systems of the defense industry and the unwillingness of the Ministry of Defense to pay at prices presented by gunsmiths.

Repeating last year's script the same Dmitry Rogozin does not want to allow? And then a conflict with the Ministry of Defense is obviously laid down. Sergey Ivanov

Last year, the costs of state defense order were approved. Then they were voiced by the current head of the presidential administration and the former Deputy Prime Minister on the defense industry, Sergei Ivanov at a meeting of the military-industrial commission under the government. Quote: “In absolute indicators, this looks as follows: in 2012, financing of the state defense order is scheduled for 1 trillion 769 billion rubles, in 2013 - 2 trillion 236 billion and in 2014 - 2 trillion 625 billion rubles”. It was at the end of November 2011.

Yesterday, Minister of Defense Serdyukov reported to the deputies of the State Duma. The meeting was, as usual for meetings on defense issues and security issues closed. But there, a little other numbers sounded and fell into the public sphere. “The share of planned defense costs will be 2.1 trillion rubles. In 2013, 2.5 trillion rubles. In 2014, more than 3 trillion rubles. In 2015, ”the head of the Duma committee on defense of the communist Vladimir Komoedov quotes the Kommersant correspondent. 2012, according to him, gave the defense system 1.9 trillion. True, to plan (as the same 2011 showed) does not mean to spend at all.

It is also easy to notice that the reduction in state defense order, compared with plans for a year ago, is at least a couple of hundred billion in the next two years. However, the military lobby is grateful even for such a reduction. “The Minister of Defense made a convincing report, answered all questions,”-again Komoedov “Kommersant” said, adding that “military reform, which began with the position of“ in Plastun ”, is now rising and gaining pace all the time.” This is about how to say to a longtime enemy in person that he knows his job.

But it was yesterday, and today the structure subordinate to Serdyukov is searched and they say that it was incorrectly spent on money. They search not just the structure, but the structure, which is headed by the former adviser to Serdyukov, according to rumors, almost "who eaten" former deputy minister Mikhail Moklatsov. Resentment does not forgive, especially such insults.

However, there is a nuance: to check the TFR, and even not just checks, but its public lighting (and especially at LifeNews), the general resentment is not enough. How little general discontent was Dmitry Medvedev for complaints of former and current military in the film “Lost Day”, where prominent ranks scolded the former president for inaction during the Russian-Georgian War of 2008.

Here we need a political sanction. And a real conflict.

The weakness of the positions of the Cabinet of Medvedev (as previously the hardware weakness of President Medvedev) gives rise to such conflicts. Someone complains to Putin that the minister A "gave a little/a lot of money for project b" and "generally steals." And then the "life" will show, if not NTV. An example of the former Minister of Regional Development Oleg Govorun shows that the prime minister either cannot independently defend ministers, or does not want to.
