Develop traces: the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation deleted all the mention of General Surovikin (photo)
After that, the media claimed that the general was arrested and removed from all positions. However, on September 5, a photo was published on the network, which seems to prove that he is free and just stroll through Moscow. Meanwhile, references to him disappear from the web-site of the military department. Meduza noted that to verify "abrasion" you need to go to the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and launch a search for the word "Surovikin" there.
After that, a list of results appears on the screen and it seems that Surovikin is still present there. However, if you click on the link that should show its personal page as the head of the air and space forces, the empty screen is loaded. The posts of the disgraced general, who are suspected of involvement in the rebellion of Prigoin and attempting to remove the Minister of Defense Sergei Shoig, gradually are gradually removed. In particular, some records for 2022 have already disappeared.
However, in the 2015 news, the general is still present. Russia also published a comment on Russian propaganda Anastasia Kashevrov: she assumed that Surovikina was "removed. " Meanwhile, RIA Novosti announced the release of Surovikin on August 23, 2023. It should be noted that the official Telegram-channel of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation found a single post with Surovikin and it was dated June 24, 2023.
In it, a man appeals to the mercenaries of PEC "Wagner": calls for stopping and not exacerbating the internal political situation in Russia. Sergey Surovik-General of the Russian Army, commander of the air and space forces (on Wikipedia he is still a "commander"). In 2017, Putin instructed the General to "order" in Syria. From March to December, topofiter launched active fighting there and returned under control of President Bashar al -Assad 95% of the country.
After that he headed the PCS of the Russian Federation. During the invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, he commanded massive rocket strokes on energy infrastructure. In June 2023, a rebellion of Yevgeny Prigogin took place, which threw a column of 5,000 "Wagnerians" to Moscow. At that time, it was believed that Prigogine and Surovkin had some contacts. After the rebellion, the general disappeared from view for some time. In August 2023, NYT reported that he had been arrested.
However, in a few days, a photo was posted on the network where he seems to be freely walking in Moscow. We would like to remind you that the media have been assumed that Yevgeny Prigogin still survived and did not die in a plane crash: they remember how he seemed to die in 2019. However, in St. Petersburg there is already a grave of the owner of the Wagner group.
