Return to the army that existed 150 years. How to interpret the statements of Shoigu and Putin at the College of the Ministry of Defense

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu

Kremlin.ru

One outstanding domestic economist in a conversation with me insisted on the need to study Soviet statistics even when understanding that there is a constant manipulation with numbers. In his opinion, even distorted data indicated real trends. Guided by this logic, you should carefully study the materials of the final colleges of the Ministry of Defense, which are traditionally held at the end of December. They traditionally participate in the Supreme Commander -in -Chief. Despite the fact that the numbers voiced during these measures rarely join each other, the trends are manifested quite obviously.

So, last year’s Ministry of Defense College, during which the data that were not agreed, did not leave any doubts: the Kremlin has already decided to start military operations against Ukraine. In the same way, during the current meeting, the Minister of Defense brought down numbers to the listeners who literally drive military analysts crazy, trying to link them with reality. However, the direction that hosts military construction in Russia is quite obvious: the Ministry of Defense aimed at the revival of the mass mobilization army, which the country safely abandoned the Serdyukov reform of 2008-2012.

Where are the money subscribers going

Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you have not paid for reading it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.

The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.

Republic uses the Redefine.media subscription. For design, we will redirect you to the Redefine.media website, where you will need to register and pay for the subscription. Authorization on the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.

A year subscription is more profitable than a month. And if you want to unsubscribe, this can always be done in your personal account.
