MOSCOW, July 31. / TASS /. The creation of the Main Military Political Directorate in the Ministry of Defense will allow the restoration of the Institute of Political Deputies in the Russian Armed Forces "in a new capacity" and introduce new methods of educational work, which is necessary in the context of the growing number of contract workers. This opinion was expressed on Tuesday by the TASS chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee, the former commander of the airborne forces, Colonel-General Vladimir Shamanov.
On Monday, the creation of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Defense Ministry became known from the presidential decree. It was headed by the former commander of the troops of the Western Military District, Colonel-General Andrei Kartapolov, appointed simultaneously Deputy Defense Minister of the Russian Federation.
According to Shamanov, today "changes in the structure of the armed forces, when there are more servicemen who contract, and less on the call that was considered and will be considered a sacred duty, suggest new approaches to educational work." "Therefore, this decision has been brewing all the years of the newest history of Russian statehood," said the chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee.
"A structure will be formed that will professionally engage in educational, patriotic work," he explained, stressing that the category of servicemen under the contract "must work in a special way." The point is that "new forms and methods of educational work must be developed that will motivate all categories of servicemen to better service," the MP continued.
"This structure will unite the old and new traditions," Shamanov believes, "and, of course, we need an administrative resource in the form of a deputy defense minister." "That is, this direction will be equivalent to such areas as staff work, combat training, rear and all-round support, in essence they will be old political forces, but in a new capacity," he stated.
The head of the State Duma committee recalled that servicemen under the contract are "people who, after serving the due time, leave the unit and are" brought up "by either a street or a family, if they are married." "Today it will be necessary to develop forms and revive the traditions of the non-commissioned officer corps of the Russian army, when there were non-commissioned officers between the soldiers and the officer corps who solved educational problems and dealt with domestic problems." This is the necessary niche for a contract serviceman to conscientiously served, and his family was reliably protected, "the parliamentarian concluded.
