Although it is still in the midst of a special military operation, Russia's level of governance of corruption is still fast and accurate. Following the arrest of Russian Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov and the detention of Alexander Fomin in April, Kuznetsov, the head of the Main Directorate of Personnel of the Russian Defense Ministry, was also taken away in May for embezzlement. Subsequently, Viteletsky, director of the order support department of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Shamarin, deputy chief of the Russian General Staff, and Ivan Popov, former commander of the Russian 58th Army, were all taken down for being involved in corruption.
On June 17, Putin signed the order again, this time it was another bombshell news, the four deputy ministers of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Ruslan Tsalkov, Tatyana Shevtsova, Nikolai Pankov and Pavel Popov, were directly dismissed, and even Pavel Popov was ordered to retire from active duty. Also on the same day, four new deputy ministers took office, including old acquaintances such as the vice minister of finance and the vice minister of economic development, as well as the son of a former prime minister and high-end talents in the management industry who are considered by foreign media to be Putin's niece. As for the whereabouts of the former deputy minister who was dismissed, the Russian official did not say anything.
It is also in this context that Russia's "Tsargrad Daily" recently disclosed that Shevtsova, a female general who was previously in a high position, had secretly arrived in France at the end of June, and when she left, she only had a small bag with her, which was a hard disk containing confidential documents and digital currency. Of course, neither Russia nor France has responded to such news, so Shevtsova's whereabouts are still a mystery.
Coming from a military family, Shevtsova began working at the Russian Federal Tax Service at the age of 22. After 13 years of hard work, at the age of 35, she was promoted to deputy director of the tax bureau due to her outstanding ability. Similar to the promotion path of Ivanov, Shevtsova eventually became Deputy Minister of Defense, and of course Serdyukov, who was the head of the Tax Service and later became the Minister of Defense. Although Serdyukov was later relieved of his post, Shoigu, who succeeded him, still recognized Shevtsova's ability, so she stayed in the post of deputy minister for 14 years, and she was in charge of military finance and other work, and it is not too much to call it Shoigu's money bag.
Of course, because the work he took over was all related to money, it was also convenient for him to use his position for personal gain. According to the official salary, Shevtsova's annual salary is about 12 million rubles, which is equivalent to about 1 million yuan. But according to some inside information, Shevtsova has a number of properties and luxury cars in Russia, such as a villa worth 170 million yuan and a Mercedes-Benz car worth 830,000 yuan. Moreover, like Ivanov, she was once included in the list of Russia's richest people by the American media. If she has really fled to France at present, then her real estate abroad can fully support her life. What's more, she still has a large amount of Russian military data and a large number of Russian military secrets in her hands, and the United States and the West can't wait to entrap this person.
However, Russia has always shown no mercy to traitors, and Kuzminov, who once drove a Z-8 to Ukraine, was found dead in an underground garage in Spain. He was shot several times in the body, and the murderer's methods were professional, and until now, the criminals have not been brought to justice. At that time, the United States and the West provided him with asylum. In March, Putin also decreed that for traitors to Russia, "we will punish them indefinitely, wherever they are." If Shevtsova does defect, then what awaits her is unlikely to be a good end. Once the corruption is confirmed, staying in Russia will be a long prison sentence at most, and defecting can only be terrified all day long, fearing that one day he will suddenly be "settled".
