Russian President Vladimir Putin sacked four deputy defence ministers on Monday and appointed a relative to fill one of the resulting vacancies.

The reshuffle marked the latest stage in a radical shakeout which Putin launched in May when he unexpectedly removed his longstanding defence minister Sergei Shoigu.

In the latest changes, Putin sacked deputy defence ministers Nikolai Pankov, Ruslan Tsalikov, Tatiana Shevtsova and Pavel Popov, according to Kremlin decrees.

He appointed Anna Tsivileva, the daughter of his late cousin, as a deputy defence minister whose responsibilities will include improving social and housing support for military personnel. Her husband Sergei Tsivilev is Russia's energy minister.

Tell your Biden to tell his relatives that there will be no more “Ten Percent For The Big Guy”.

Well, at least it isn’t Putin’s father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate.

Can you really trust the daughter of a late cousin? Hmm. Pretty soon Putin is going to start wishing that he had a bigger family.

It seems like there are a lot of Deputy Defense Minsters - well, there used to be. At least this clears some folks off the payroll. The incoming deputy minister seems to have kind of a social services job. It is a nice gig, especially with her husband being the Energy Minister.
