Previously, Bulyga served as deputy commander of the Western Military District for logistics. Bulyga was born in 1968 in the Kazakh SSR. In 1990 he graduated from the Ulyanovsk Higher Military Technical School, in 1999 from the Military Academy of Logistics and Transport, and in 2010 from the Military Academy of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces. Bulyga served in the Western Group of Forces, the Moscow, Far Eastern and Central Military Districts, as well as in the Department of Planning and Coordination of Logistics of the Ministry of Defense. As Regnum reported, in July 2022, Putin appointed Colonel General Viktor Goremykin as Deputy Minister of Defense, head of the main military-political department of the Russian Armed Forces. Previously, he served as head of the Main Personnel Directorate of the Ministry of Defense. In September 2023, Putin called the main strategic task of the military-industrial complex to provide weapons for the Northern Military District in full. The President noted that it is necessary to analyze the implementation of the supply schedule for popular weapons and equipment and identify priority tasks for 2024.

More from regnum.ru Peskov: there were no open decrees on the appointment of Moiseev as commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy [Regnum] There were no open decrees on the appointment of Hero of Russia Admiral Alexander Moiseev as Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said at a briefing on March 11. “There are decrees classified as “secret”; I cannot comment on them. There were no open decrees to be published in this regard,” he said. As Regnum reported, on March 11, the Izvestia newspaper, citing sources, reported that the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Nikolai Evmenov, had been dismissed, and his place would be taken by Hero of Russia Admiral Alexander Moiseev, who previously commanded the Northern Fleet. The Russian Ministry of Defense has not yet confirmed the change in the commander-in-chief of the Navy. From June 23, 2018 to May 3, 2019, Moiseev was the commander of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy. Since May 3, 2019, he has commanded the Northern Fleet. Previously, Moiseev stated that the West accuses Russia of militarizing the Arctic in order to increase NATO’s military presence in the region. The basis of US military policy in the Arctic is the achievement of strategic superiority over others in the high Arctic latitudes of the Arctic. This is conceptually enshrined in the updated strategies and plans of the Pentagon, he emphasized. |
