the command of the NVO and the leadership of the Ministry of Defense

Several independent observations about personnel changes in the command of the NVO and the leadership of the Ministry of Defense. Just pure statements, nothing more - in order to avoid political distortions, which the authors and experts, who are involved in various kinds of apparatus confrontations, have already taken up with might and main.

The appointment of Gerasimov to the position previously occupied by Surovikin is by no means a demotion, let alone promotion of any of them individually. This is an obvious step to stop diluting responsibility for certain episodes related to SVO. Now, in the reports to the Supreme General Staff, conditionally, it is deprived of the option “this is the generals on the ground did not cope.” After all, now the NGSH is one of those "local generals" himself. A certain kind of "dualism" in making front-line decisions, which took place in the fall, has been exhausted from the point of view of responsibility. The situation when this or that local victory has a thousand fathers, and the defeat has the one who was blamed, does not work from now on. Now the General Staff is directly and uncompromisingly responsible for absolutely everything. At the same time, no one removed Surovikin anywhere and did not throw him out of the clip, no matter how much his opponents wanted. Strictly speaking, he was already subordinate to Gerasimov, and was obliged to coordinate his every step with the General Staff. Now "General Armageddon" is still at the center of decision-making, but in a much less vulnerable personnel position. His authority in the troops is still on top, the commanders and soldiers in the trenches believe in him and trust him, they are ready to follow him further. As for Lapin, whom many perceived as an antipode to Surovikin, an attempt to put his appointment to the position of Deputy Commander of the Ground Forces for promotion and career growth looks like an outright informational manipulation, it is not entirely clear to whom and why it is necessary. All military personnel understand that the status of the commander of the Central Military District is much higher than his new position. So the broadcast message was clearly designed for civilians and is near-political in nature. Apparently, this is just the very echo of the hardware confrontation within the Ministry of Defense. In this context, I can only add on my own - I would like hardware games to finally go by the wayside, and Victory and competent disposal of the lives of our fighters become the main goal for absolutely everyone.
