The Russian army was struck by the virus of corruption and large-scale theft of state property. When money appeared in the country, corruption in the Ministry of Defense did not improve. On the contrary, as the story of the resignation of Anatoly Serdyukov shows, the scale of abuses has only grown. At the end of October 2012, information appeared in the Russian press and electronic media about the discovery of multimillion-dollar thefts in the Russian Ministry of Defense and related commercial structures. For example, it was reported about a major corruption scandal surrounding Oboronservis OJSC, whose employees were caught by law enforcement agencies in fraud in the sale of non-core military assets. A number of those involved in the case, as it turned out during the investigation, have long been familiar with Serdyukov and maintained very close relations with the Minister of Defense . The Oboronservis case became the biggest corruption scandal in recent years and caused the resignation of Minister Anatoly Serdyukov. What caused the scandalous Oboronservis case? Fighting corruption? War between power elites? Or the banal adultery of the ex-Minister of Defense? The author tried to find answers to these questions in this book.
