Serguei Shoigu
Serguei Shoigu is a prominent Russian politician and military leader who served as the Minister of Defense of Russia from 2012 until his recent dismissal. Known for his significant role in modernizing the Russian Armed Forces, Shoigu has been a key figure in various military operations and defense initiatives. Following his removal from the defense ministry, he has taken on the role of Secretary of the Security Council of Russia, although his influence is perceived to have diminished under the new leadership. Recent commentary by military officials suggests that his departure may have led to a decrease in corruption within the Russian military ranks.
