Belousov is the new Minister of Defense of Russia, but this person is a bit distinctive, he is an economist, he is the first deputy prime minister, he is a civilian official. Will the inauguration of a civilian defense minister make the current defense minister a civilian defense minister? This is worth studying.
You look at the Russian military expert, reserve colonel Vasily, he gave a statement that civilian defense ministers help improve the economic situation of the Ministry of Defense, bluntly speaking, and he also pointed out that the Russian defense minister is a political position. Everyone realized that he was actually a symbol, and he was not a soldier in the full sense of the word. Moreover, there have been cases in the history of Russia when civilian officials have served as defense ministers, and Serdyukov is one of them. After his dismissal, to some extent, Rodionov also served for a time as civilian Minister of Defense.
The military expert pointed out that Belousov is first and foremost a member of President Putin's team, he was the first deputy prime minister of the government, and in general he is very familiar with the problems that exist in the field of the military industry, and our supreme commander, that is, Russian President Vladimir Putin, is in control of all decisions as always. So he thinks there have been some consultations to get all this going, which is how Russian President Vladimir Putin could not know that he is an economist and that he is not wearing a military uniform.
In this case, this term of defense minister may be civilian and does not need to wear military uniforms, which exists in Russian history. The key lies in the fact that Belousov understands management, economics, and national defense economy, and knows how to make overall arrangements for the development of the national defense economy, especially since Russia is now in a wartime economic state, and he knows how to make overall arrangements to ensure that Russia will not fall into a relatively embarrassing economic state.
Then in the face of this arrangement, even Ukrainian parliamentarians believe that Berousov as Russian defense minister is a tragedy for Ukraine. Why is it a tragedy? Because he understands the economy, management, and national defense economy, and is familiar with the exchanges between the military and the locality, he will also let the Ministry of Defense spend every penny on the blade, and his purpose is to win the battlefield. So Ukraine is more worried, and Putin seems to be more trusting.
