The Russian Ministry of Defense, a new deputy minister with a beautiful woman.
According to reports, four deputy ministers of the Russian Defense Ministry have been dismissed, and one of the vacant deputy ministers has been filled by Anna Tsyvereva.
The status of the relatives raises questions
The reason why this news has attracted attention is that Tsevereva is not from the military circles, but a relative of the Russian president, the daughter of Putin's late cousin, and her appearance has aroused heated discussions and questions from the outside world.
As Deputy Minister of Defense, Tsevereva will be responsible for the social and housing support of the army, and it stands to reason that she should have extensive military experience and deep military literacy before she can take up the post.
But her previous career history has nothing to do with the military field, so what impact will such an appointment have on the Russian Ministry of Defense? Should kinship be a factor in important appointments?
Behind the appointment of Tsyvereva as deputy defense minister, it seems that this special family relationship is inseparable, but does such a transfer win the hearts of the people? At the beginning of June this year, Putin summoned Tsyvereva to the Kremlin for a meeting, but the specific content and details of the conversation were not disclosed, so it seems very likely that it was to discuss matters related to the deputy defense minister.
In her appointment speech, Tsyvereva did not mention her kinship with President Vladimir Putin, but simply emphasized the topic of her appointment with several other deputy defense ministers. Is this the right approach?
After all, in the appointment of important officials, there should be a focus on transparency and disclosure of public information, so that the public can have a full understanding of the personal situation and work history of the appointed officials, and also have the right to supervise and judge the appointment decision.
Family situation
Old family photos taken by Putin when he was young were picked up by netizens, his parents sat in the front row, Putin's ex-wife Lyudmila Putina in the back row, and the little girl on the far right was Tsyvereva, who was in her early teens.
It is reported that Tsyvereva has also experienced divorce, and her current husband is the Minister of Energy, named Sergei Tsyverev, who once served as the governor of the Kemerovo region. The two married in 2007 and have three children, a daughter and two sons.
Some conjectures
Transparency and disclosure of information are the basic characteristics that any country or region should have, and only on the basis of full information disclosure and public participation and supervision can we effectively avoid the breeding of privileges, ensure that the selection and appointment of officials can be truly fair, just, and open, and win the trust and support of the public.
In the future, both Russia and other countries need to pay more attention to transparency and open information in the construction of the official appointment mechanism, establish and improve the official appointment process, and ensure that the appointment decision can withstand the fair scrutiny of all parties and truly serve the interests of the country and the people.
