As an excellent architectural engineering graduate, he became a good secretary of defense a few years later.
In the face of Turkey's serious threats, he laughed into memes, describing Germany's defense minister as a primary school girl whose parents were principals, and the "nuclear" "hydrogen" construction practitioner Sergei. How did Shoigu, who had never been a soldier for a day, become a major general as soon as he took office?
Shoigu
What did Shoigu go through in this refreshing life? Let's get to know The Man who is Putin's confidante, who makes all countries afraid to act rashly against Russia, Shoigu.
Learn the rescue captain of the building
Strong is everyone's common impression of Russia, when it comes to Russians, I believe that many people will have in their minds the image of a "fighting nation" drinking vodka and holding a bear in the snow.
Although this impression is a little stereotyped, it is real that this disobedience is "rigid".
Shoigu, who was recently ridiculed in the face of Turkey's threat, laughed domineeringly and leaked "emojis", is one of the characters that must be mentioned.

As the saying goes, "If you're not strong enough, the threat is a joke." Shoigu's expression directly shows people what it means to "as long as you are strong enough, when you smile, you are afraid." ”
Nowadays, the situation between Russia and Western countries is tense, and Shoigu, as Russia's "needle in the haystack", is adhering to the principle of Russia's extremely tough work, which can be said to be putin's best "cp".
But who would have thought that he looked so "murderous" and was actually a literati and had been an excellent architect.
In May 1955, the youngest son of the Deputy General President of Tuva and the Russian Meritorious Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Expert was born. Kurugatović. Shoigu.
Unlike Putin's very Russian facial features, Shoigu looks more like a yellow race, with a yellowish complexion, brownish-dark eyes, and softer facial features without too many edges, all of which are different from the Russians we remember.
Shoigu was born in Chadan, Tuva Autonomous Republic, one of the main bodies of the Russian Federation, under the jurisdiction of the Siberian Federal District, a sparsely populated area, the main ethnic group is Tuvans and Russians.
Shoigu's father is Tuvan and his mother is Russian, and from old photos, Shoigu's father is yellow-looking and his mother is a standard white Russian appearance.
In his youth, Shoigu's facial muscles tightened more like whites, and as he grew older, his yellow characteristics became more pronounced, and his narrow eyes revealed the momentum of killing and determination not to be angry.
Born in such a prominent literati family, Shoigu was not spoiled by his parents, although he was the youngest boy in the family, his parents were strict with him from an early age and cultivated his quality of perseverance and struggle.
Although Shoigu was born into a family whose parents had political experience, and he had some unique views on economics and politics, he did not immediately choose to enter politics as a young man.
He valued the important role of architecture in the development of the Soviet Union at that time, and adhered to the spirit of doing everything with no fear of hardships and painstaking research.
Committed to becoming an excellent architect, he was successfully admitted to the then famous polytechnic school Krasnoyarsk Polytechnic Institute and chose architecture.
During his time at the school, he actively participated in various competitions and won many awards.
When he was twenty years old, the Soviet Union expanded its army and formed many reserve units, and Shoigu became a reserve lieutenant, but he did not enter the army and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but continued to study the building painstakingly.
Since graduating in 1977, Shoigu has entered a construction company with his excellent resume, devoted himself to the construction industry, and has worked steadily from mason to chief engineer, which has been more than ten years.
With a clever mind, hard work and a passion for architecture, Shoigu held senior leadership positions in several Siberian cities.
So Shoigu, who was still shining in the construction business at that time, could not have imagined that many years later he would go on vacation fishing with the Russian president.
In 1988, the turning point came, the Soviet government appointed Shoigu as the second secretary of the municipal party committee of Abakan City, became the second in command of the Abagan City of the CPSU, and Shoigu, who worked tirelessly at the construction site for many years, was very popular with the people.
Thus Began Shoigu's career...
Two years later, as Second Secretary of the Abakan Municipal Committee, Shoigu officially became Vice-Chairman of the Construction and Construction Committee of the Soviet Socialist Republic of the Russian Federation.
However, there is still a big gap between the position at this time and the current Russian defense minister, which can be said to be completely different.
In 1991, the Soviet civilian rescue team officially established the Russian rescue team, and the leader of the Russian rescue team was the first batch of volunteers Shoigu before the rescue team was officially established.
It turned out that in all these years, Shoigu was still using his contacts in his spare time to form a small rescue team to silently help people in distress.
From 1991 to 1994 Shoigu served successively as Minister of Civil Defence Affairs, Emergencies and Elimination of Natural Disaster Consequences of the Russian Federation, Chairman of the Committee on Emergencies and Elimination of Natural Disaster Consequences.
All the way forward
The rescue team quickly set up regional offices in many parts of Russia, and the Russian Rescue Department under his leadership was extremely efficient, in a consistently vigorous style of doing things, no matter how dangerous the task, it was necessary to do it personally.
During this period, Shoigu led the rescue team to relieve various crises many times, and turned the civilian volunteers who were small in personnel, arduous tasks and insufficient funds at the beginning, with good organizational skills and strong faith, step by step into an elite team with high efficiency today.
In the accident handling of the Ufa refinery in September 1991, when the Russian State Emergency Committee first resolved a major accident, it quickly and directly entered the Guinness World Records in the shortest possible time to eliminate the danger.
Despite the joint efforts of everyone, Shoigu has played an indispensable role as a leader, and his years of architectural experience have given him a sharper insight into the face of danger.
Speaking of Russia's rescue mission, it has to be mentioned that in 2008, when China's Wenchuan earthquake occurred, Russia provided a large amount of material assistance to the mainland for the first time.
The earthquake struck on May 12, and on the 14th, Shoigu told the media that doctors and rescue workers of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations were ready to assist China at any time.
At 17:30 on the 16th, the first Batch of Russian rescue teams flew to Chengdu on a Il-76 transport plane and successfully rescued the trapped people, which made the people on the mainland very grateful.
Shoigu's promotion not only has extraordinary courage and courage to always stand on the front line, but he also has a unique vision and a very keen sense of politics.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Yeltsin's series of operations undoubtedly stood on the cusp of the storm, and when everyone did not dare to act rashly, Shoigu resolutely chose Yeltsin and supported Yeltsin.
Yeltsin, who had experienced a low point, was also appreciated by Yeltsin after regaining control of the wind rudder.
Many people think that Shoigu's current achievements are due to his luck in standing on the right team, but his keen determination and perseverance are impossible to ignore.
So Shoigu, who had never been a soldier for a day, was promoted all the way and directly became a major general in just one day, but so what, in the face of doubts, Shoigu proved himself with practical actions again and again, which was undoubtedly an encouragement to countless civil brothers.
In 1999, Putin became one of Russia's first deputy prime ministers, and Yeltsin was very optimistic about him and said he wanted to cede the position to Putin.
At that time, Putin only had five months of experience as prime minister, but Putin was not a good stubble, although he was a newcomer at this time, but the word "instigation" did not appear in Putin's dictionary.
So in the Second Chechen War, Putin said: "No matter where the Chechen bandits are hiding, the Russian army will destroy them!" ”
Shoigu again chose unconditional support and formed the political party "Unity Movement Campaign Alliance." ”
Yes, it is clear that Shoigu is on the right side again, Putin won the second Chechen war, Yeltsin resigned, and Putin was appointed interim president of Russia.
It wasn't until 2012, when Putin was officially reappointed president, that Shoigu was appointed today's Russian defense minister, and Shoigu was governor of Moscow for a while, and Shoigu, who received the new order, immediately stood up and did not slacken off.
However, at that time, the army was heavily bribed and very corrupt. So since he had appointed him, there was no way back, so he began a vigorous reform of the Russian army, even to the detriment of some people.
All this stemmed primarily from Shoigu's loyalty.
Decisive "just" to the end
In 2018, Germany's foreign minister, Kramp Karenbauer, openly called out Russia in front of the media of various countries at a conference, and the provocation was very obvious.
And Kramp Karrenbauer made his most startling statement: "Germany does not rule out the possibility of using nuclear weapons to deter Russia." ”
As soon as these words came out, the Russians could not remain silent, and Russia, as one of the world's largest arsenals, was threatened with nuclear weapons by a "non-nuclear" country.
This all threatened the "fighting nation", and at this time it was too much to say something, so Russian Defense Minister Shoigu organized a press conference for the first time and came to a "level dialogue" between defense ministers.
"Master of Metaphors" Shoigu said that Kramp Karenbauer said this like a naïve female classmate in elementary school, who casually slandered the classmates in the class because their parents were the principal.
Unfortunately, Russia is not in the same school as this girl, and the new generation of Russian politicians obviously does not know much about history and should ask Grandpa.
Shoigu and Putin
This blatant intimidation can be said to be very "rigid", and the metaphor is very clever, turning the German "name" directly into a childish elementary school student behavior.
At once, the people of all countries focused their eyes on this Russian defense minister who was torch-eyed and calm.
Some people say that Shoigu is Putin's successor, and some people feel that shoigu and Putin have a small age gap and may not be likely to take over, but none of this affects his position in the hearts of the Russian people.
In today's situation, Russia's longest-serving defense minister so far, he and General Gerasimov, the first deputy minister of defense and chief of the general staff, can be said to be two important people besides Putin at this time.
Who is Grand Admiral Gerasimov? It was the one who had laughed into memes with Shoigu under the serious threat of Turkey.
Shoigu (first from right) and General Gerasimov (center)
Because of his white and neat teeth, he appears to be more magical than Shoigu, which directly makes the two big guys who usually do not smile into "world famous paintings".
Don't look at him laughing so magically, but he is by no means a good stubble, he participated in or led the Second Chechen War, the Georgian War, the Syrian War, the Syrian Crisis, including the current Ukrainian-Russian conflict.
However, the Ukrainian-Russian conflict did not progress very smoothly, mainly because the Russian side did not want to hurt Ukrainian civilians.
Shoigu said Russia has no intention of encroaching on Ukrainian territory and is doing its best to protect the safety of civilians, with weapons aimed largely at the military.
According to the Russian News Agency reported on March 1, Russian Defense Minister Shoigu said in a teleconference on the same day that Russia plans to hold an international anti-fascist conference in August this year.
Admiral Gerasimov
The purpose is to coordinate the efforts of various countries against Nazism in the modern world, and the report also mentions that Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that one of the goals of the Russian military's special military operations in Ukraine is "de-Nazification".
As soon as this matter came out, netizens said that they had witnessed history, and their attention to Russia had also reached a peak.
Shoigu, who is 67 years old this year, and Putin, who is 70 years old, are still tough and intend to "just" go all the way to the end.
It can be seen that Putin and Shoigu have very similar temperaments, both have a humanitarian style of doing things, and carry the toughness in the bones of Russians.
People can't help but sigh that no matter how old they are, the bones and blood of this fighting nation are still so hot and hot.
Eight years of direct promotion to general, Shuangwen Kaihang's life may only be a superficial evaluation from the perspective of a bystander.
Standing up in countless times of crisis and going on vacation with Putin in the taiga on mundane days may have become shoigu's daily routine.
From an architect to today's secretary of defense, this experience, which at first sounded outrageous, also became justified in Shoigu.
No matter what the environment, Shoigu is willing to lie dormant, try his best to do all his job, always stand on the front line when he receives tasks, face dangers and hardships, and no matter what position he holds, he is always consistent.
Over the years of silent dedication, in his spare time, he also went to dangerous places in various places to rescue the masses in danger, in the eyes of many Russians, no matter what position he held, he was always a hero of the country, a rescuer who saved people from water and fire.
Maybe he's not the strongest defense minister, but he's the one who makes the Russian people feel the most secure, because he's not just a leader, he's the leader of a rescue team for all the Russian people.
