According to some reports, the cause of death was a long disease. Gennady Zhidko was 57 years old. "I was fortunate enough to know this person, very attentive to the needs of a simple soldier and very demanding in the service. It is such commanders that are called the commanders," the Russian politician wrote.
It is noteworthy that the dead Colonel-General of 2016 managed the headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Syria, after which he was appointed in 2018 to the post of commander of the Eastern Military District in Khabarovsk. Then he was sent to the capital. In Moscow, since 2021, he held the post of Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, but after the war in Ukraine he was sent back to the role of commander of troops.
The American Institute of War Study (ISW) stated in June last year that the Russian Federation had changed responsible for the war in Ukraine. The Russian General General Gennady Zhidko was responsible for the war. He replaced the commander of the troops of the Southern Military District Alexander Dvornikov in this position. We will remind, on July 11 it was reported that Russian propagandists confirmed the liquidation of Lieutenant General of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
