| Direct Translation via Google Trans;ate. Edited Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin This is a continuation of this story from yesterday. (Follow the links) As a commentary, the Russian rank and file are pretty sore about this, and I don't blame them. [ColonelCassad] 1. Timur Ivanov, by order of Shoigu, was removed from the post of Deputy Minister of Defense. Shoigu himself did not change his schedule due to Ivanov’s arrest and continues to travel to military-industrial complex enterprises. 2. For now, Ivanov will sit in a pre-trial detention center for the next 2 months while the investigation continues. Ivanov's defense asks that he be tried by a military court, not a civilian one. 3. Two more defendants in the corruption case were detained. They hint that these are not the last arrests and there will be more. Among the detainees is the director of Olympsitistroy Fomin. 4. The amount of the bribe exceeds 1,000,000,000 rubles. The initial statements about 1,000,000 rubles were only the lower level of the incriminated article. 5. The FSB has been developing Ivanov for more than two years, collecting information about his activities. More from Andrey Chervonets: About the situation The recording is in the top 200 ratings Regarding Timur Ivanov. And why do I have a purely negative attitude towards him? His wife (formally ex-wife, they had a fictitious divorce in June 2022 due to sanctions) went on holiday in the winter of 2022/2023 in Courchevel. In company with Meladze, who shortly before was caught on video shouting “Glory to Ukraine.” In the photo at the link, she appears to have had a face lift, not cheap, even in Rossiya... For me, this is tantamount to betrayal of the Motherland. I'm not even talking about patriotism here. I'm talking about the banal presence of brains and at least some kind of not even elementary, but the most elementary basic decency. Just imagine, winter 1941/1942. Wife of Marshal Tymoshenko. Holidaymaker in Spain. Or worse, in Italy Musollini of the same times. Yes, Stalin would have immediately crushed such “marshals” into dust. Both his and hers. At best, a marshal would go to the front as a lieutenant (okay, a regiment commander, no higher) in the trenches. And we endured for 2+ years. P.S. Thank God, Marshal Timoshenko and his wife were not like a certain Timur Ivanov. Tymoshenko is mentioned in the context that this could not have happened under Stalin. Yes, and Tymoshenko for sure!!! not like that. And under Putin, for some reason, a similar situation occurs. |
