Anatoly Serdyukov (2018)

Anatoly Eduardowitsch Serdjukow ( Russian Анатолий Эдуардович Сердюков ; born January 8, 1962 in Kholmsky in the Krasnodar region ) is a Russian politician. In February 2007 he became Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation . In November 2012, Serdyukov was dismissed by President Putin . His successor was the previous Moscow regional governor Sergei Shoigu .

Professional background

After completing his studies at the University of Soviet Trade in Leningrad , he first worked in a local furniture trade in 1985 , then moved in 1993 as deputy director to the St. Petersburg joint stock company "Mebel-Market", where he was primarily responsible for market research and finally became general director rise. In 2000 Serdyukov switched to the civil service and took a position in the tax inspection. From June to November 2001 he was Deputy Head of the Petersburg Department of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties and thus Deputy of the future Prime Minister Viktor Subkov . When the latter moved to the Federal Financial Control Authority in Moscow in November 2001, Serdyukov was his successor to the post of Chairman of the Petersburg Department of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties.

In March 2004 he moved to Moscow, where he took over the provisional management of the Federal Ministry of Taxes and Duties. This was soon transformed into an authority under the Ministry of Finance called the Federal Tax Service , of which Serdyukov was appointed head in July 2004.

In February 2007 Serdyukov was finally appointed Minister of Defense to succeed Sergei Ivanov . Since March 2007 Serdyukov has also been chairman of the supervisory board of the chemical company Chimprom , which is majority-owned by the state. The same applies to the Rostechnologii state corporation in the armaments sector.

On September 18, 2007 Serdyukov submitted his resignation. The reason given was the incompatibility of the ministerial post with the close family relationship to the recently appointed head of government Viktor Subkow. Subkov is Serdyukov's father-in-law. The resignation was rejected by President Vladimir Putin , whereby Serdyukov continued to serve as defense minister.

In response to Serdyukov's release on November 6, 2012, Putin said that under Serdyukov's defense ministry had failed to provide military personnel with adequate housing. Serdyukov's dismissal was also related to a corruption scandal involving a company subordinate to his ministry, which is alleged to have embezzled in the amount of 78 million euros.

Serdyukov himself had come under criticism from the military and especially the armaments lobby because of his reform plans. The Russian armed forces were undergoing the greatest reform in their history. Serdyukov wanted to shorten the chains of command by cutting the officer ranks and also demanded better quality and transparent prices from the armaments industry , and he had also bought weapons abroad.

Since leaving politics, Serdyukov has been active in business and has held leading positions in Rostec's aviation sector and on the board of directors of OAK .
