July 30, 2018 agency TASS, The Main Military-Political Directorate was created in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The former commander of the Western Military District (ZVO), Colonel General Andrei Kartapolov, has been appointed Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation - Head of the Main Military-Political Directorate. The corresponding decree of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin is published on the official portal of legal information.

"To appoint Colonel General Andrei Kartapolov as Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation - Head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the RF Armed Forces, releasing him from his post," the text of the decree, which comes into force from the moment of signing, says.

Kartapolov was born in 1963 in the German Democratic Republic. Graduated from the Moscow Higher Combined Arms Command School (1985), the Frunze Military Academy (1993), the Military Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (2007). He served in the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany, the Western Group of Forces and the Far Eastern Military District in positions from platoon commander to division commander.

In 2007-2008, he served as Deputy Army Commander in the Siberian Military District. From 2008 to 2009 he was Chief of Staff - First Deputy Army Commander in the Moscow Military District.

From 2009 to 2010, Kartapolov served as head of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces. From May 2010 to January 2012 he was commander of the 58th Army of the North Caucasus, then the Southern Military District, in 2012-2013 - Deputy Commander of the Southern Military District, from February 2013 to June 2014 - Chief of Staff of the Western Military District, from June 2014 to November 2015 - Head of the Main Operational Directorate - Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces.

In November 2015, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, he was appointed Commander of the Western Military District. Awarded with the Order"For Military Merit", many medals.

Main Military-Political Directorate

For the first time, a military-political governing body appeared in the Red Army after the revolution. Its name changed several times, and in 1991 the structure was named the Main Military-Political Directorate of the USSR Armed Forces. The main task of the unit since its foundation was to work with the moral and psychological state of the personnel.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the political component left the name of the head office - in 1992 the Main Directorate for Work with Personnel (GURLS) was created, which also changed its name several times.

According to the official website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, today the main tasks of the GURLS are to work with the moral and psychological state of personnel, information and propaganda work and patriotic education of military personnel, the organization of military special, psychological, cultural and leisure work, as well as the creation of conditions for free religion.

The Center for Military-Patriotic Work of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the Center psychological work Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, 49th Center for Technical Equipment. GURLS is headed by Colonel Mikhail Baryshev.

In turn, the newspaper "Kommersant" devoted to this event the material of Ivan Safronov and Alexandra Dzhorzhevich "In the main political direction. General Andrey Kartapolov will head the new headquarters of the Ministry of Defense", which says that the Ministry of Defense has a main military-political department, which will be led by the former commander of the Western Military District (ZVO) Colonel-General Andrey Kartapolov. The creation of this unit is justified by the need to strengthen "military-patriotic education", so the new deputy minister will also deal with the Yunarmiya movement. The new commander of the Western Military District, as it became known to Kommersant, will be Colonel-General Alexander Zhuravlev, who is completing the reduction in the grouping of Russian troops in Syria.

The appointment of Andrey Kartapolov as Deputy Minister of Defense, which RBC reported on Monday, was confirmed by St. Petersburg Governor Georgy Poltavchenko. Calling the ex-commander of the Western Military District a “great friend” and “comrade-in-arms”, he presented him with the insignia “For services to St. Petersburg” and “For services to Kronstadt”. A few hours later, Vladimir Putin's decree was published, which specified that in addition to the post of deputy minister, General Kartapolov also became the head of the recreated main military-political department (GVPU) of the department. According to Kommersant's information, the general will be introduced to his subordinates in his new position on Wednesday morning in Moscow.

The military-political governing body in the Red Army appeared after the 1917 revolution. Over the past 100 years, its name has changed several times: in 1991 it sounded like the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Armed Forces of the USSR. After the collapse of the USSR, the Main Directorate for Work with Personnel (GURLS) was created, its tasks included not so much the political education of the military as control over their moral and psychological state. According to a Kommersant source close to the leadership of the Ministry of Defense, the re-establishment of the political department was justified both by the global need to strengthen “military-patriotic education” and by the desire to solve the administrative problem: to unload State Secretary-Deputy Minister of Defense Nikolai Pankov. The GVPU will be formed on the basis of the GURLS, which will include several units (including the Department of Culture), and General Kartapolov will also become the curator of the Yunarmiya movement. General Pankov, in turn, will continue to oversee personnel issues, military education and interaction with government agencies.

General Kartapolov's career took off in 2015: as Chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces, he was responsible for action planning Russian army in Syria. In November 2015, Mr. Kartapolov was transferred to command the ZVO. In December 2016, he was seconded to Syria, where he stayed until March 2017: it was under his command that Syrian Palmyra was liberated from radical Islamists. Colleagues note that the general is distinguished by politeness and intelligence. These qualities allowed him to establish good ties with the regional authorities, "including those who have direct access to the Kremlin," says a senior Kommersant source in the Defense Ministry. Added to this were successes in strengthening the Western Military District: recently, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu stated that since 2016, more than 350 surprise inspections had taken place in the district, which showed "a qualitative increase in the level of training of troops and confirmed their readiness to solve problems." Kommersant's sources believe that the achievement of such indicators is due to the geopolitical confrontation with NATO, but this does not diminish the role of General Kartapolov: "He had a difficult area, where he adequately coped with the work."

Officially, the successor to General Kartapolov in the Western Military District was not named on Monday. However, a Kommersant source close to the leadership of the Ministry of Defense said that the district would be headed by Colonel General Alexander Zhuravlev, who is the commander of the Eastern Military District (VVO), but is now in Syria. The name of General Zhuravlev is directly related to the Syrian campaign: since September 2015, he led the headquarters of the group of Russian troops in Syria (he received the title "Hero of Russia" for this), then he led the group, was transferred to the post of deputy chief of the General Staff, was proposed to the post of commander of the Air Defense Forces, and then again sent to command the grouping as part of Operation Retribution. At the end of 2017, he was tasked with reducing the number of contingents and ensuring the withdrawal of military equipment from Syria, which, according to Kommersant's interlocutors, he did: as of July 16, more than 30 aircraft and helicopters returned to their places of permanent deployment. There is no exact information yet about who can lead the grouping in Syria and the troops of the Air Defense Forces after Alexander Zhuravlev. Among the candidates for the first post are, in particular, Commander of the Airborne Forces Andrey Serdyukov or Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces Sergey Surovikin, for the second - Chief of Staff of the Central Military District Evgeny Ustinov, Chief of Staff of the Western Military District Viktor Astapov, as well as several people from the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.


The Western Military District (ZVO) was formed in September 2010 in accordance with the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of September 20, 2010 on the basis of two military districts - Moscow and Leningrad. The ZVO also included the Northern and Baltic Fleets, the 1st Air Force and Air Defense Command.

Currently, the troops and forces of the Western Military District are deployed within the administrative boundaries of three federal districts(North-Western, Central and part of the Volga region) on the territory of 29 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The headquarters of the district is located in St. Petersburg.

The ZVO troops include over 2.5 thousand formations and military units with a total number of more than 400 thousand military personnel, which is about 40% of the total number of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The Commander of the Western Military District subordinates all military formations of the types and branches of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation deployed on the territory of the district, with the exception of the Strategic Missile Forces and the Aerospace Defense Forces.

The main tasks of the military district are: forecasting and assessing military threats to the Russian Federation within the limits of responsibility, preparing proposals for the formation and conduct public policy in the field of defense.

The team of the Western Military District was formed in October 2015 based on the results of the qualifying rounds that took place in Naro-Fominsk. In total, 250 officers took part in the competition, holding positions from platoon commander to deputy army commander.
