The war will be long. What is known about the new Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Belousov, whom Putin replaced Shoiga

It should be noted that most of the heads of law enforcement agencies, judging by Putin's proposals, will retain their chairs. Thus, it was proposed to re -assign to the Minister of Internal Affairs Volodymyr Kolokoltsev, the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SZR) Sergey Narishkin, FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov, Rosgvardy Chairman Viktor Zolotov, Dmitry Kochnev, director of the Federal Federal Security Service, Minister of Justice, and the Minister of Justice.

Among those whom Putin suggested to redeem to his posts, there was no Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who has headed the department since 2012. Instead, the Kremlin head suddenly suggested appointing the head of the Ministry of Defense of the first deputy head of Rosuriar Andrei Belousov. Putin was appointed Secretary of the Russian Security and Defense Council by his decree. His last 16 years have been headed by Mykola Patrushev - one of the most closest to Putin of security forces.

The decree on the release of Patrushev as the reason for his resignation indicated "the transition to another job". Which one is not specified. Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov explained the need to change the head of the Ministry of Defense by the fact that "the Ministry of Defense should be completely open to innovations, the introduction of all advanced ideas and the creation of conditions of economic competitiveness.

" At the same time, Peskov stressed that Belousov's appointment will not change the "military component" - this will remain the prerogative of the head of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov. "There is no change in this regard," he said.

Dmitry Peskov also said that 68-year-old Shoiga, in addition to the post of Secretary of the Security Council, will simultaneously become the Deputy President of the Russian Federation in the military-industrial commission and will head the Federal Service for Military Technical Cooperation. With regard to the new position of Mykola Patrushev, Peskov promised that the Kremlin would inform the details of "in the coming days".

Since, under Russian law, the president has the right to appoint a secretary of the Council without any consultations, the Decree on the appointment of Shoigh and the release of Patrushev from this position came into force immediately. The meeting of the Federation Council, which will discuss the issue of the appointment of Andrei Belousov to the post of chairman of the Ministry of Defense, will take place on Tuesday, May 14.

It should be noted that Andrei Belousov is three years younger than his predecessor - he is now 65. He is called Putin's closest economic advisor, and this is actually near the truth - he works directly with Putin in different positions and in different qualities, starting in 2008. "Belousov is not just a performer, he has his own picture of how the Russian economy should function, and he can bring it to life. Putin listens to him.

Belousov is a rigid state and believes in the" ring of enemies "around Russia . In 2014, he only supported the annexation of Crimea to the Russian Federation from the economic environment of Putin, " - wrote at one time without 5 minutes of the Minister of Defense of Russia, referring to several Kremlin interlocutors of The Bell.

"Andriy Belousov - technocracy, he enjoys the trust of the president, is well understood in the economy and management: it is such a person and the need to the country in the conditions, so to speak, delaying a special military operation," - quotes the Russian "merchant" of the director of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technology. Russian Ruslana Pukhova.

At the same time, the safety expert Sergey Khrapach in a comment to the publication, emphasizing that Andrei Belousov is "abstracted from technical, and most importantly, behind -the -art and intra -elite relations in the Ministry of Defense", added: "The state puts in the industry huge resources, so it is needed to manage it. A person who would be audited.

It should be noted that the news about the change of the Minister of Defense in Russia has occupied the first pages not only of the Russian but also in the Western media. Everyone is trying to comprehend Belousov's appointment, and most agree that it has finally made Russia's transition to wartime economy.

"The meaning of permutation is the consolidation of the role of MIC as the main locomotive of the economy, the needs of which will be subordinated to the life of the whole country," quoted Bloomberg Bank Evgeny Suvorov's Bank's Bank. Shogg's release, the agency notes, brings the border under the Prigoginsky rebellion and secures the role of a sump for Putin's key figures for Putin.

"Shoigu in the Radbeza - not quite fallen, denies from the pages of The Wall Street Journal economist and political scientist Konstantin Sonin, who is recognized in Russia by an inaging:" In the existing system, the proximity to Putin means more power. Patrushev, who is replaced by Shoigu, for this reason was very influential, and shows also, there is no doubt about it. " At the beginning of the invasion, - says The New York Times.

-By appointing the economist, he actually acknowledged the contribution of an industrial base for any military victory. He is exactly smarter and more systematic than shopping that is worse for us, "but to say that the new minister will change something dramatically, it is hardly worth it, although a certain order will be given. " Now, carefully, we can assume that he will gradually lose his enormous influence on the security forces, which he had until the last.

And here the question arises, and who will become a curator of security forces then and whether such a position will exist. It is quite real that such a person will simply not be and Putin will try to deal with this question. However, he is too lazy to do this routine work in daily mode. And this will not be able to lead to a number of failures and conflicts. Therefore, it is necessary to follow this, " - sums up Vadim Denysenko.

The thoughts of experts with whom the focus about the role and the meaning of permutations in the power vertical of the Russian Federation spoke somewhat different in form, but not content. " Shogging, in my opinion, means, means that the Kremlin has lost some faith that certain military victories can be achieved, so they come to the stage of a protracted war in which military production plays a key role.

Actually, they are appointed Belousov - a person who can do this area which, accordingly, can give rise to conflicts within the forceful vertical of Russia, Ilya Ponomarev stated the following: "Although he is tough enough, but one must not forget that it is a completely and fully entrusted Putin. In addition, as far as I know, it is the only person from high -ranking Russian economists who supported the war in Ukraine.

Moreover, he supported this war, not starting from attitude to Ukraine and Ukrainians, but rather from his economic reasons, because he believes that war is a way to raise the economy, to modernize, to introduce new technologies and so on. That is, he believes that the war is an incentive for the modernization jump.

"Commenting on the resignation of Shoigu, Ilya Ponomarev noting that" this is unconditional decrease, "added:" However, the position of the Secretary of the Radbeza in the current Russian system is sufficiently influential because it implies Access to the body, you understand who. At the same time, this position does not provide for any administrative functions. The same Patrushev was chosen by the FSB, while the shoig for the FSB is a stranger, so he will "hang" somewhere in the air.

However, he was given curated in military-technical cooperation (it is international trade in weapons, etc. ), but how he can cope with it is unclear, because, firstly, it is not his traditional topic, secondly, second It is under various sanctions, so it is a kind of comforting prize for shore. "In general, the ex -state Duma believes that the permutations in the power block of the Russian Federation are an orientation to a long war on exhaustion, and not only with Ukraine.

" I think, there are all reason to talk about long -term confrontation with the world. First of all, it is about Poland and the Baltic, but in general, it is a long trend for the militarization of the Russian economy. In this situation, it is good that, most likely, the army will command Putin personally (laughs - ed. ) " Unfortunately, the whole world is still behind Russia in terms of military production and this is now the biggest factor in threat.

And Putin demonstrates with these appointments that he understands it perfectly. That is, they will be stupid to throw in the number of weapons and it is necessary to oppose it. "Assessing in conversation with focus permutation in the Russian Defense Ministry, political scientist Igor Reityrovich notes: The military, objectively, had to be cleaned.

But since Putin knows him a long time ago and he will not finally abandon his services, he was given a new position, gently taking criticism from the "fire".

But Belousov's arrival is not a very good story for us, because he is known for his views, which implies mass nationalization and vohnization of the economy, and he is near Nabiullin (the head of the Central Bank of the Russian Central Bank) is the person who was able to hold the economy Russia is against the background of all those sanctions that were imposed after 2022.

"Belousov is a civilian, but he will have to engage in providing and logistics as a minister of defense, that is, what the Russians have very big problems, Igor Reitrovich notes. According to the expert, Shoigu's successor is intended to solve these problems "and, unfortunately, there is an understanding of how to do it, and secondly, there are appropriate tools.

" He thinks the categories of military economy, total economic mobilization and activity on the principle: "Everything for the front, everything for victory. " Therefore, such appointments indicate that the Russians are preparing to fight for a long time and break the situation in their favor, as they say in Russia, not washing, so riding. That is, if they can't do it now (and they cannot), they hope to comprehend it for several years and as a result to get the situation.

It is not the fact that all this will turn out here, whether Belousov will have enough opportunities and resources all that system of principalities in the field of RSSVPC, which was built by Shoigu, to break. Hopefully that it will not be possible to mobilize everything directly to Bielousov - first of all because of the inner resistance, " - sums up the political scientist. Defense is an important event in trying to create all economic conditions for protracted conflict.

Belousov has a reputation for effective technocrat, and sources claim that he is in good relations with Putin. Putin is likely to use Belous's experience to unite military and economic policy. These efforts testify that the Kremlin continues to prepare for a protracted war in Ukraine. " Shogu, there is also unloved, because he was delaying the war, well, we still steal.

But Belousov for them is a civilian, economist, some incomprehensible technocracy with office biography, even fish in camouflage did not catch. And even around the hateful Staromevedev word "innovations".
