Russian army: getting out of the reform pit

Russian army: getting out of the reform pitThree years ago, when the country was informed that the Russian army would be subject to effective reform, we suddenly learned about the abolition of enrollment in higher military schools (institutes, universities). It turned out that the so-called optimization measures eliminate the need for training young officers. The question of training lower-level commanders remained unanswered. To say that the abolition of enrollment in military universities has caused a state close to a shock among those who are not indifferent to the fate of the Russian army - to say almost nothing. Many frankly did not understand what path is being reformed by the country's Armed Forces and which circle of problems is solved if the very reformed army is deprived of professional young recruits.

The answer from people from the camp of the ex-minister (now the ex-minister, and then - in 2010-m - the very main defense reformer himself) Anatoly Serdyukov was about the following: the officer corps was too bloated, and for a compact, mobile, organized army he, he says, does not fit. However, in the same explanation of the need to abolish enrollment in military schools, there was a contradiction. It consisted in the fact that perhaps the number of regular officers was unnecessary for a compact, mobile and organized army, but the army itself still needed to be done. Obviously, it was neither compact, nor mobile, nor even organized (if not to speak of individual units, but to take the army as a whole). And in order to make it both effective and organized, reform was supposedly started. But in order for the tree to start bearing fruit, does this tree have its roots cut down? .. It doesn’t have a tree, but what happened in the army: it was chopped down on the basis of the fundamentals - to train qualified officers.

At the same time, it was started, excuse me, cleaning the officers (and not only the officers) ranks. The reduction, which was replaced by a neutral interpretation of "optimization", was quite painful. One of our regular readers writes:

In light of the recent decisions of the former Minister of Defense, measures are being taken to reduce and dismiss officers of the RF Armed Forces. And the slogan of this reduction is: “We give everyone housing ... All those who are being laid off.” That is, a soldier who gets housing is obliged to resign, regardless of experience, rank, or length of service.

Many of the currently dismissed officers are far from retirement age, and are ready to continue their service, but senior management believes that they are no longer needed. Here the question arises: why? Either there will be another incomprehensible reform of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, or Russia does not need experienced military personnel.


Indeed, when people tried to understand the intricacies of military reform, it was somehow far from the concept of defense capability. After all, it’s strange to speak about improving the army’s efficiency, but at the same time getting rid of people who could well (based on accumulated experience and professionalism) for this very effectiveness, they say, it’s cleared up. Immediately after the words "green men" from famous persons, scattering diamonds in all the boxes of their "hlup". It was these individuals who, with time, appeared before the Russian public as the true salt of military reform: let’s get rid of the “extra green men”, and the “survivors” under the reformist bombing will fill the new efficient army with a renewed monetary allowance. At least, the paper version of the ongoing reform was hinted at that indirectly.

This year, enrollment in military universities is resuming. Of course, during this time, the reformist rink managed to stroll along the universities themselves, many of which were left by the most experienced military teachers, who had several issues of professional military personnel behind them. It’s difficult to say what the situation is in the remaining military institutes and universities, which now have a slightly different form of subordination (legally attached to military academies), after three years of lack of student enrollment. The fact that the ranks of military educators have thinned is a fact, and how are most of them again drawing to universities? - A question about which decision while the Ministry of Defense speaks very carefully. As an option: "Return, for God's sake!"

So, if we talk about which military universities recruit cadets in 2013 year, then we can submit the following list.

1. Moscow and Moscow region:
Military Academy of the Strategic Missile Forces (plus branches);
Military University;
The Combined Arms Military Institute (VUNC SV “OA Armed Forces of the Russian Federation” plus branches in Kazan, Novosibirsk, Ryazan, Tyumen and Blagoveshchensk);
Military Academy (plus a branch in Cherepovets).

2. St. Petersburg:
Mikhailovsky Military Artillery Academy;
Naval Academy (plus branches in Vladivostok and Kaliningrad;
Military Space Academy (plus a branch in Yaroslavl);
Military Academy of Communications;
Military Academy of MTO (plus a branch in Volsk, Penza and Omsk);
Military-medical Academy.

3. Smolensk:
Military Academy of Air Defense

4. Voronezh:
Air Force Academy (plus branches in Krasnodar, Chelyabinsk and Syzran).

5. Kostroma:
Military Academy RCBZ and engineering troops.

6. Ryazan:
Higher Airborne Command School.

It should be noted not only the fact of the resumption of full-fledged enrollment in higher military schools, but also the refusal of most of them from training programs for such specialties as a lawyer and economist. Of course, this does not mean that the modern army should cease to be friends with the letter of law or with the economy, but when up to a third of young lieutenants who graduated from designated areas in military schools left a year, then most of these young officers automatically turned into unemployed, it led to certain thoughts. But the thoughts are simple: military universities simply had to survive in the conditions in which they were put.

By the way, gentlemen from Serdyukov’s "galaxy" tried to justify with these facts that the high schools of the Ministry of Defense mostly stopped the recruits. But it is foolish to try to justify the complete elimination of the recruitment by the fact that many professions that were prepared by military universities were not claimed. Could it not be possible to stop the recruitment of “lawyers-economists” and other managers first, by financing military universities to work effectively with really significant specialties? Apparently, it was impossible ... Well, nothing, you know, did not fit into the system of eliminating the entire system of training "green men". Did not fit and that's it. And therefore: “to the ground, and then ...” This is the very “then” today that emerges.

You can count on the fact that the three-year pit, which directly touched higher military education, as well as personnel “cleaning”, will not leave unhealed scars on the Russian army. Of course, the scars will heal with time, but how long will this take? - Even the most experienced experts will not be able to answer this question.

Yesterday there was information that they had discovered a fraud of Vasilyeva for 600 million rubles (the amount is no longer impressive) and so what? Sits! But where?

      Yes, the collapse has not yet ended.
      There is also "gunpowder in the flasks" of the "disintegrants".
      And most importantly, no fundamental creative reforms are visible.
      For example, without going into too much detail in a short comment:
      1. The status of conscription and urgent service.
      2. Preparation of mobilization reserves.
      3. Order and military discipline in the troops.
      4. And, of course, the public flogging of the feldmebel and K. laughing . This event is no less serious than others.
      5. The status of the military is lowered. Take at least a humiliating retirement coefficient of 0,54. (Yes, if there is not enough money, cut everything off, but pay fairly: same ranks and salaries - equal pension) It seems that the leaders believe that in peacetime the military are ordinary citizens who simply signed a contract for several years, but if in the military, they will instantly be reborn as brave "miracle heroes". lol
      With this approach, effective 21st century aircraft cannot be built. It does not reach the power holders that the military service of a professional is a life choice, from the course of a young soldier to a decent retirement.
      It is clear that it is not possible to master everything at once.
      "But we must strive for this!" smile
      For starters, at least voicing the concept and adopting the necessary legislative acts.

        And yet I think that if it were not for the "weakness on the front" and the vengeful father-in-law, the ex-minister could well go down in history as a "successful reformer of the Armed Forces and the Russian Navy." And so he "burned" and put his "harem" under attack. winked
        How long did he "reform" so that only obscenities were heard from the military and open letters to the President were printed about the targeted destruction of the Army and there were so many appeals and nothing, like everything is fine, reforms are underway, us ..., but we are getting stronger, just a little still have patience and everything will be fine ... And then he went too far with the "lefty" and at once everyone "saw the light", "And the Minister is naked", here his guys, he is not a reformer, but a thief and destroyer

        I absolutely agree with you that what you have done with military education, even if the teachers need to do something with the selection of cadets, because there is no such competition either by acquaintance or by paying, so that the offspring would be arranged for decently paid work, the graduates of the DVOKU are just awful I have already written several times in attestations that the state drug control needs to pay attention to this school, the lieutenants, with the exception of units, come very poorly trained, they learn everything from the troops, and those who could teach Serdyuk fired a lot, so as I said above, I would like to see development program and quality selection! And so the result is still there even with money, and the platoon cheated in motorized riflemen gets 38-39 thousand, but the salary still became more or less, only now there’s another problem that it’s difficult to dismiss the Tiyadyan!

      In the situation with Serdyukov, it is necessary, first of all, to figure out / decide what purpose he was put to feed at the helm of the Armed Forces of Russia.
      In my opinion, the priority task posed to him was a drastic reduction (according to the “state” - optimization) of the quantitative composition of the armed forces in light of the changes that occurred after the collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the USSR, and the existence of a “new” Russia.
      The question is, how is information for consideration - could a “native” from the ranks of the current personnel officers of the Armed Forces, taking into account all the conditions of the existing caste of the officer corps, carry out a massive reduction and structural reorganization of the troops ?!
      Probably there are few officers and generals who can positively answer this question. Not?
      And he successfully coped with this task ... and as a payment for risks he was given a certain financial freedom, which he, as a successful businessman-manager, took advantage of.
      She had a hand in her heart - and who would have refused the opportunities presented ?!
      It is necessary to have non-human willpower to abandon such temptations with such a carte blanche and with such a “roof”!
      And how to punish him now, if the President of the country personally set him the above tasks, that is, Comrade Supreme Commander-in-Chief, promising full support and personal insurance in case of force majeure circumstances?

    In general, all the work of Serdyukov and his team is very similar to the targeted strikes to destroy the RF Armed Forces, most likely many of the events during their work that the ordinary citizen did not recognize there. If he was allowed to do this work, but he was allowed, then this leads to certain thoughts.

      I looked at the list and saw: some academies, and only one Ryazan airborne command school. Only the commander of the Airborne Forces managed to defend the divisions and their school! Now are young officers trained at academies? and from one academy will they come to another? What is the name of the school number 1 - Moscow VOKU?

        The fact is that the schools, as such, remained in their places: Moscow, Novosibirsk, Blagoveshchenskoye, Kazanskoye, and others. Only now they are called branches of the All-Union Scientific and Research Center for the Armed Forces of the RF Armed Forces. This is what the former Academy of them is now called. Frunze M.V. - Military educational and scientific center of the Ground Forces. All schools are subordinate to the former academy, and not directly to the Commander-in-Chief of SV, as it was before.

      Indeed, it does suggest certain thoughts about Serdyukov's art, the entire leadership of the country probably knew and did not specifically notice this (D.A.Medvedev) or did not want to notice. Instead of transferring him from the category of a witness to being accused of all the sins of the Army during his tenure, he was given a warm place in RosNANO to the same "figure" as he was Chubais. When will we really move from the words "combating corruption" to practical actions regardless of ranks and estates.

Without or with their easy submission, all this "reform" and started spinning. Moreover, none of them recognized their guilt. You can love them or not love them, but for "such" reforms in the Country and the Army, I personally HATE them .. and Serdyukov is just a pawn on which you can blame the failure of the "king" policy. The rest of the "cabinet" of ministers plays the same role ... Well, something like that.

      Sasha (3), I completely agree with you. Why is everyone blaming Serdyukov? He must answer, but to the extent of his competence and official authority. But all the "reforms" in the army and military education could not begin without the agreement and approval of his immediate superiors - the president and the prime minister. I don’t believe that Serdyukov did all things without their approval and consent. And all the current gimmick with the investigation of the affairs of Serdyukov and Co. is nothing more than an attempt to cloud our brains, to convince us that Serdyukov is the source of all troubles, and leave those who dug up this source and sent them in the right direction beyond suspicion. I will not believe that Putin did not have a hand in Serdyukov's reforms, but for some reason everyone believes in the infallibility of the Fuehrer and diligently deflects all suspicions from him. If not today, then tomorrow we will all the same learn about what contribution the GDP made to Serdyukov's implementation of his "reforms" of the army and military education. And I think he will be rewarded in full.

Chubais ruined the Ministry of Energy - although the USSR, starting with Lenin, built its entire existence, now DAM is shouting that there is no money for the energy sector and we will raise taxes, and electricity will be so expensive!

    I think you're in vain at the expense of military finance ... It used to be easier to come to the chief of the finance got the money went on a business trip (money was always in the unit), but now? try to get something and this concerns not only business trips (any payment) ... try to get 2ndfl at the ERC or ask for a recalculation ... In general, all these ERC Slavyanka and other JSCs were created so that all the money would remain in Moscow ... Here is an example before there were KECh, who received money from tenants and this extra-budgetary budget remained in the garrison (money was spent on repairs, etc.) Slavyanka sends all the money in good faith to Moscow. In the KECh, in addition to the functions of repair, provision of communal services and many other functions, the provision of housing was carried out in / sl-x ... Now a whole code of organizations are engaged in these functions: Half of Oboronservis, Slavyanka, JO, and many others with a huge staff that conscientiously suck out of the Armed Forces and they send money to Moscow, so where is there no saving ... Our "reformers" just made it so that the money would not remain in the troops, but was spent on thirteen-room apartments and excuse the provision of prostitutes, etc.
    Slavyanka signed contracts for the exhaustion of money from the armed forces every year, you know why? For a year the money has sucked ... they make an analysis whether it is profitable to continue, profitable ... so ... for another year, but it will become unprofitable they will become bankrupt ... it's the same OJSC, they cannot work at a loss (you see it is not profitable) KECh were state-owned to them, they all took care of the state. Therefore, I hope there will be a return to the previous system of aircraft support.

    and who trains the signalmen officers? and why such a mildly strange principle of the territorial location of military schools? Almost everything is concentrated in the central part of Russia. Behind the Urals is empty. There are no schools of communication at all. Tomsk, Kemerovo, Ulyanovsk School of Communications were gradually killed. Krasnoyarsk School of Radio Electronics (RTV Air Defense). What is the percentage of admission really wanting to give their lives for their homeland. Can the guys from the Urals, Siberia, Transbaikalia get into these educational institutions? Everyone who studies in the European part of Russia and wants to stay there. Few people want to go to Siberia, Transbaikalia and other regions.

    When the "reformers" started to "optimize" military education, their main argument was that there were too many military schools and institutions. Interestingly, before that, Madame Vasilyeva with a part of the "women's battalion" visited the United States where she was introduced to the organization of military education. Who were these advisers and what they proposed is a question for the relevant authorities. It was decided to carry out a drastic reduction of officers under the shouts of a small and mobile army, keeping silent about the fact that Russia, in terms of its territory and geopolitical position, is not the USA or France, and only an army based on mobilization can protect it. This requires the creation of a mobilization reserve, and this was the "excess" of officers. Moreover, in the USSR there was a system in which an officer was obliged to serve in both deployed and framed units. Moreover, the demand for mobile readiness was extremely tough. Now about military UNIVERSITIES, "optimizers" rested on their number, not to mention what caused it. Everyone knows that the USSR had a military doctrine that provided for a retaliatory nuclear strike and then a conventional war. According to the estimates of the Americans and ours, they destroyed up to two-thirds of our military potential. Therefore, it was decided to create a network of schools located throughout the USSR. Their number by type and type of troops reached three, and each university had mob. Resources for two destroyed. In addition to the academies, which were located in Moscow, the only city in the USSR that was protected by a missile defense system. It was impossible to destroy such a training system. The Americans understood this very well. Well that's all.

    Despite all the pain for the state of our Armed Forces, another feeling does not leave me either. It is familiar to all who have served and serve. For some reason, it turns out that the key level is necessarily "oak". There have always been enough fools, careerists, and thieves in our Armed Forces. They really interfere with serving and strengthening defenses. From the very beginning they expected the army to get rid of such people. But it seems that there are only more of them. And in the capital's headquarters - just dominance.
    I perfectly understand that a certain mess in the army is simply necessary. The combat situation is always unpredictable, so you need to be in good shape to respond quickly. But the mess cannot be the basis of the life of the troops. Exercises close to combat on an ongoing basis - this is what will rally military units and weed out fittors. Although the peacetime army requires people a slightly different warehouse than during the war.

    In the situation with Serdyukov, it is necessary, first of all, to figure out / decide what purpose he was put to feed at the helm of the Armed Forces of Russia.
    In my opinion, the priority task posed to him was a drastic reduction (according to the “state” - optimization) of the quantitative composition of the armed forces in light of the changes that occurred after the collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the USSR, and in the conditions of the existence of a “new” Russia.
    The question is, how is information for consideration - could a “native” from the ranks of the current personnel officers of the Armed Forces, taking into account all the conditions of the existing caste of the officer corps, carry out a massive reduction and structural reorganization of the troops ?!
    Probably there are few officers and generals who can positively answer this question. Not?
    And he successfully coped with this task ... and as a payment for risks he was given a certain financial freedom, which he, as a successful businessman-manager, took advantage of.
    She had a hand in her heart - and who would have refused the opportunities presented ?!
    It is necessary to have non-human willpower to abandon such temptations with such a carte blanche and with such a “roof”!
    And how to punish him now, if the President of the country personally set him the above tasks, that is, Comrade Supreme Commander-in-Chief, promising full support and personal insurance in case of force majeure circumstances?

    And who told the author that in a structure called "Academy" on the signboard you will really be given an "academic" higher military education?

    Schools trained officers at the operational-tactical level.
    The academies prepared command staff for the troops at the operational level.
    And already the Academy of General Staff of the Armed Forces - a strategic level.

    And now, under the name "Academy", they train those who were previously trained in schools.

    Higher education institution can be called as you like, but the essence of this does not change.
    Example - VVA them. Gagarin and Zhukovsky.
