This was told by a military and political expert, head of the Center for Military Legal Research Alexander Musienko in a comment to RBC-Ukraine. "Dissatisfaction among their officer corps is growing. But it seems to me that an internal struggle in Russia is now being in Russia and the Ministry of Defense. According to the expert, the backstage of these processes is the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergey Shoig.
Most likely, he tries to "convert" the growing dissatisfaction with the officers into the potential of his future career in politics. "That is, on the one hand, he tries to deal with them, repress" disagreeable ", and with those who are more loyal, to agree that in the future they become useful and supported," - explains the expert.
In such a situation, Russian generals have to balance in order to maintain their position and access to the "feeder" and at the same time not be among the victims of repression. Musienko notes that the Russian soldiers have always been "lower caste", and now they want to get a real influence and are beginning to declare their rights. This trend is gaining strength in the light of Putin at any time disappear from the political scene.
Therefore, an active struggle for power is already unfolding in the post-Putin "Russia. Musienko believes that Shoga has great ambitions, so he needs to strengthen the military vertical and increase the political image of the military. Against this background, he will probably try to rise, positioning himself as the next leader who will lead Russia after Putin.
