Two throws. Lieutenant-generals Yevkurov and Muradov. The essay.
In connection with the events in Belarus, I read material on the Internet. The material describes the assignment of general ranks in Belarus. "Why are we interested in Lieutenant Generals?" (https://42.tut.by/706676?c)(https://42.tut.by/706676) The author tried to compare the careers of various generals in Belarus. From this material it follows that the highest rank of general in Belarus today is de facto the rank of lieutenant general. Good journalistic work of Denis Burkovsky. One of the ways of development of journalism is through experimentation ...
Just at that moment, information appeared both about Lieutenant General Rustam Muradov and of his brief biographies.
I do not have extensive information about the generals in Russia, but in connection with some anniversary, "Throw on Pristina" and Lieutenant General Yunus-Bek Yevkurov were mentioned ...
I tried to compare the biographies of these two generals.
Little came out of this attempt. But since I spent some time trying to do this comparison, I decided to summarize the comparison results in text.
So, General Rustam Muradov is a participant in several wars and military operations. Gradually climbed the career ladder ...
In 2012 he was awarded the next military rank of Major General. By the decree of the President of Russia dated February 20, 2020, he was awarded the next military rank of Lieutenant General. About 8 years passed between the two military ranks.
I find it difficult to comment on the career of Rustam Muradov. Generals serve in different historical periods. In what war did the German general Schlieffen (1833 - 1913) win? What are his victories? Where are his won wars? (The Russian-language Wikipedia without any comments mentions Schlieffen's participation in the Austro-Prussian-Italian war of 1866 and in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1871 ... Commander of the 1st Guards Uhlan regiment (1876-1884)). If Schlieffen did not win a single Jena, not a single Austerlitz, then he seems to have participated in two successful wars, wars, successful for Prussia (Germany). Nevertheless, General Schlieffen is known to everyone ...
According to the Wikipedia (rus), "In May 1999, Major Yunus-bek Yevkurov, who was at that time part of the international peacekeeping contingent in Bosnia and Herzegovina, received a top secret mission from the high military command of the Russian Federation: as part of a group of 18 servicemen of the GRU General Staff Special Forces The Russial Armed Forces secretly penetrate the territory of Kosovo and Metohija, take control of the strategic object - the Slatina airport and prepare for the arrival of the main forces of the Russial contingent. "
This operation is shrouded in secrecy. We cannot find out why it was necessary to secretly arrive at the airfield, which was under the control of the Yugoslav army, an army friendly to the Russian Federation, why it was necessary to create an extremely dangerous international incident? An incident reminiscent of a global international provocation? The Russian Federation in the UN Security Council voted to transfer the airfield to international forces ... The vote in the UN Security Council was almost unanimous ... Thanks to the concern of British General Michael Jackson for Europe, the incident did not lead to any negative consequences. The airfield was eventually transferred to the Republic of Kosovo. Someone recognizes this republic, someone does not recognize ...
"Subsequently, the famous British singer James Blunt, who served in 1999 in the NATO group, testified about General Clark's order to recapture the airfield from the Russial paratroopers. Blunt said that he would not shoot at the Russians, even under the threat of a tribunal" (Wikipedia)
"There were no regular military formations, only small groups that captured a number of such strategic objects according to their capabilities. Our group waited when some of these people left in the evening - for their predatory affairs or, perhaps, in taverns. In the morning they returned and slept all day We picked the moment when there were a small number of people on the spot, took advantage of this and took over the airport. " - Yunus-bek Evkurov recalled (https://tass.ru/opinions/6232774)
In 2004-2008, Yunus-bek Yevkurov was deputy chief of the intelligence department of the Volga-Ural military district (Yekaterinburg).
On October 30, 2008, Yunus-bek Yevkurov was appointed acting head of the Republic of Ingushetia. "In October 2008, Yevkurov was appointed Acting Head of Ingushetia, and he went to the reserve with the rank of Major General" (https://www.stav.kp.ru/daily/26994/4055057/)
On October 4, 2018, multi-day protests by residents of the Republic of Ingushetia began ...
'Yevkurov topped the anti-rating of heads of regions with a low level of trust - the number of those who do not trust the head of the region exceeded the number of those who trust by 57%. At that time, 40% more respondents spoke in favor of replacing the head of Ingushetia than those who supported keeping him at post.
On June 24, 2019, Yevkurov resigned from the post of head of Ingushetia after 11 years of leadership of the republic. "(Wikipedia)
"MOSCOW, June 28, 2018, 09:08 - REGNUM The three republics of the North Caucasus Federal District continue to increase the volume of public debt. It grew by more than 30% in Dagestan, by more than 15% in Ingushetia and Karachay-Cherkessia. Alexei Kudrin, Chairman of the Accounts Chamber, said this during his speech at a sitting of the Federation Council. (https://regnum.ru/news/economy/2439074.html)
"By the Decree of the President of Russia of July 8, 2019 No. 326 [Yunus-bek Yevkurov] was appointed Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. By the same decree, Yevkurov was awarded the military rank of Lieutenant General." (Wikipedia).
"MAGAS, November 2, 2020, 18:16 - REGNUM Ingushetia has been declared bankrupt, financial management of the republic will be transferred to the federal Ministry of Finance. This decision was made by the Russial government on the basis of data from the Accounts Chamber of the socio-economic indicators of the region. (https://regnum.ru/news/economy/3105396.html)
Approximately 11 years passed between the assignment of the rank of major general to Yunus-bek Yevkurov (2008 - in connection with the arrival on the post of the head of Ingushetia) and the award of the rank of lieutenant general (after leaving the post of the head of Ingushetia and the appointment of the deputy minister of defense of the Russian Federation).
Now Lieutenant General Yevkurov is the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. Lieutenant General Muradov - since November 2020 - Commander of the Russial peacekeeping contingent in Nagorno-Karabakh. The march-throw of the Russial contingent to Nagorno-Karabakh was widely covered by the press ...
I wasn't successful to compare the careers of two Russial lieutenant generals ...
If this attempt at comparison seems interesting and useful to someone, then it means that I was not wasting my time writing this text.
If one of the readers decides that he wasted his time reading, then I draw your attention to the fact that almost immediately I warned: "From this attempt, very little came out ..."
In general, as the French general Napoleon Bonaparte said, almost every soldier carries a marshal's baton in his knapsack [tornister].
