A deputy chief of the Russian military general staff has been arrested on charges of large-scale bribery, Russian news reports said Thursday, the latest in a series of bribery arrests of high-ranking military officials.
The arrest of Lt. Gen. Vadim Shamarin followed the arrest earlier in the week of Maj. Gen. Ivan Popov, a former top commander in Russia’s offensive in Ukraine, also on bribery charges.
In April, Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov was arrested for bribery. Ivanov was a close associate of Sergei Shoigu, whom President Vladimir Putin dismissed as defense minister soon after Putin’s inauguration to a new term in May. Lt. Gen. Yury Kuznetsov, head of the Defense Ministry’s personnel directorate, was arrested on bribery charges two days after Shoigu was replaced.
Shamarin, the latest officer to be arrested, is also the head of the Defense Ministry’s main communications directorate. He is being held in custody for two months, Russian news agencies cited a military garrison court as saying, but other details of the case were not reported.

Shoigu was promoted to Secretary of the Russian Security Council, replacing a guy named Petrushev, who is 72 years old.
This was not a dismissal.
Will you guys in Sankt Petersburg rise against Putin? Or stay in his pocket?
Poland next. Zero resistance.
“Shoigu was promoted to Secretary of the Russian Security Council, replacing a guy named Petrushev, who is 72 years old.
This was not a dismissal.”
This is like a CEO “promoting” his manufacturing COO to a spot on the Board of Directors.
You guys living in Sankt Petersburg keep repeating the nonsensical Putinist propaganda.
Hows the weather there, towarisch?
Will Polish men resist The Putin when he pushes West? Will you fight or flee?
More than you guys in Sankt Petersburg who associate with Putin
