The Russian-Ukrainian military has lasted for two years since its outbreak, and the war has not stopped until now.
It was at such a tense juncture that just yesterday Russia made a move that shocked everyone
Russia's Deputy Minister of Defense was arrested.
What kind of trouble is this, a relevant insider broke the news that the full name of the Russian Deputy Defense Minister is Timur Ivanov, who was arrested on suspicion of corruption and bribery.
He even broke the news that the position of deputy minister of defense can be said to be the position that can be greedy for the most money.
But why did you take Ivanov at this juncture?
Not many details have been reported about this news, and it can be seen from the literal meaning and official reports that the matter is definitely not that simple.
According to the report, Ivanov was arrested and investigated for accepting bribes, and the amount of bribes amounted to 1 million rubles, equivalent to less than 800,000 yuan, and he could face 15 years in prison.
Do you feel that the amount of bribes accepted is not as large as you imagined, but the sentence is so severe?
If you think about it, you can sit in this position, and your every move will be seen by the people of the country and even the world, and the slightest mistake and bad behavior will bring irreparable consequences to the country.
At present, Ivanov's direct superior, Defense Minister Shoigu also knows about it, after all, if he wants to arrest his own people, he must be notified in advance.
But Shoigu did not reveal too many details to the media.
Why does a deputy minister of defense not manage military operations, but instead focus on taking bribes?
Ivanov's remarkable life history
Ivanov has been promoted to Russia's deputy defense minister since 2016, because there are so many things to manage in this position, and it takes an all-round talent.
This includes the management of the property of the armed forces, the construction of houses, the stationing of troops, medical care, etc., and the management of all departments of the entire Russian state.
Ivanov, who studied networking since he was in college, was invited to work at the facility construction company of the Russian Ministry of Energy because of his outstanding grades, and became the general manager 10 years later.
In 2012, he also took the post of deputy governor of Moscow, and at that time Ivanov got acquainted with Shoigu, because Shoigu was a full-ranking governor, so it can be seen that Ivanov was already Shoigu's assistant at that time.
In the past year, Ivanov has been promoted to general manager of the defense construction company, and Russian President Putin has been impressed by Ivanov because of his outstanding completion of many construction tasks assigned by the state.
How could Ivanov, who has both talent and the ability to take on great responsibilities, get involved in this matter?
To say that in Russian politics, there are not a few officials arrested for embezzlement and bribery, so how can Ivanov not be able to hold on to so many lessons from the past?
Details were revealed: Arrested at gunpoint
Because Ivanov is the deputy minister of defense, he has been secretly training a special forces unit of his own, and what is this special force for? It is to protect Ivanov when he is in danger.
And it is fully armed and well-trained, as long as Ivanov gives the order, he can fire indiscriminately.
So when it came to the capture of Ivanov, it can be described as thrilling.
The plan to arrest Ivanov must have been carried out only when Russia had done enough work to ensure the smooth progress of the operation.
According to a person familiar with the matter, even Ivanov was not aware of the plan, and even on the morning of his arrest, he was participating in a meeting with leaders from all walks of life in the country.
Why did Ivanov go to the point of bribery?
Netizens were surprised that Ivanov didn't look like a person who was short of money, but when you really read his life experience, you will understand how it is possible to be clean and self-conscious when sitting in this position.
1. Ivanov's ex-wife, Maniovich, is simply a shopaholic.
There are related reports that as long as Mañovich likes it, he will take it at any cost.
But Maniovich is not a very wealthy family, but for various reasons, he and Ivanov have divorced in 2022.
The high amount of consumption makes people wonder if the two deliberately divorced to hide the source of their property.
The most surprising thing is that, judging from Maniovic's consumption bills, part of the consumption was paid by the Ministry of Defense contractor.
So most netizens speculated whether Ivanov had already embarked on this path.
Second, managing the logistics of the entire national army is indeed a very severe test of a person's character.
Ivanov is already very intelligent, and he is deeply loved by Putin, plus he has achieved a lot, can he not make some oil and water for himself?
Many people don't understand why they should be corrupt and take bribes when they have no worries about food and clothing, and they are still in power?
In fact, it is easy to understand if you think about it empathically, if you are in this position, the temptations you face every day are definitely beyond your imagination.
It's a person who has a weakness, and he will always be stared at by the people below, can you keep yourself clean?
Third, there is also a speculation that treason.
Because this timing is too coincidental, it was exposed as a bribe during a sensitive period in Russia and Ukraine.
And the amount of bribes is only 1 million rubles, which is not worth mentioning at all compared to the oil and water that he can get in this position.
Then bribery may only be superficial, and there must be an unseen secret behind it.
Epilogue:
All the reasons are speculation, but it is already a fact that Ivanov was arrested for taking bribes.
Don't think you can take advantage of the law before doing anything that violates the law, even if you're the Minister of Defense, no one can control the law.
Anyone who violates the law must be punished by the law.
