General Armageddon returns before the offensive: Will be Suvorikin be Deputy Defense Minister
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

These rumors have been circulating in Russian media for the last two weeks, that General Surovikin will take a portfolio in the Russian Defense Ministry some time before Vladimir Putin's presidential inauguration, May 7th.

Other rumors have been that current defense minster Sergey Shoigu will be replaced, possibly with General Valery Gerasimov.

The rumor behind that is that Shoigu, in league with Ivanov, either was behind or approved the "shell starvation" imposed on Wagner Group chief Yevginy Prigozhin, meaning he may have known about deputy defense minister Timur Ivanov's skullduggery and failed to inform Putin about it.

[TSARGRAD.TV] Insider telegram channels carried bad news for Kyiv and its Western overlords - before his inauguration, Vladimir Putin decided to give them a surprise that they would not be happy about: to return Army General Sergei Vladimirovich Surovikin to the front. Which can only mean one thing: a powerful offensive by the Russian army is coming.

The legendary “General Armageddon” completes his affairs in Africa, where, thanks to his efforts, the enemies of Russia are now doing very badly, and returns to the Russian lands, exhausted by the war with Ukraine. They have been talking about a return since the beginning of the year.
Currently, it is reported that Suvorikin is somewhere in Africa in a semiofficial capacity.
True, the sources of such news, or rather, gossip, were not the most reliable - various pro-Ukrainian Telegram resources. Blogger Sergei Kolyasnikov, known under the pseudonym Zergulio, called all these rumors and speculations about Surovikin nothing more than “lying nonsense.” And the general continued to remain in the African wilderness.

Well, the enemies of our country in the West could only continue to intensely study the routes of the Russian commander and fear his return to the active army.

In particular, when last fall Ksenia Sobchak published a photograph of Sergei Surovikin, who was walking arm in arm with his wife, this photo caused heated discussions not only in Russia and Ukraine, but also, for example, in the UK. Thus, Center for Information Resilience researcher Michael Sheldon used maps to determine where the military leader was that day.

I think the British are afraid of Surovikin’s return to the system and structure of the Russian Ministry of Defense, so they are trying to discredit him as much as possible through informational means,

Political scientist, candidate of philosophical sciences Yuri Baranchik told Constantinople then, explaining the phobia of the Anglo-Saxons. The British are afraid of the general’s return, since the line of defense he built, against which several waves of attack broke up, where the enemy lost a lot of equipment, including British equipment, has proven to be extremely effective.

It was. But now Zergulio himself started talking about Surovikin, and not some enemy provocative sources.

The return of a combat general with extensive and comprehensive combat experience would benefit the common cause. Even the very fact of the presence of General Armageddon at the front will cause diarrhea and corruption among the Nazis and their patrons from the USA and NATO. They still drop bricks when they hear the words “Surovikin line”,

— the blogger noted, noting that the decision to return Surovikin to the front can only be made by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, that is, Vladimir Putin.

A number of other Russian insider telegram channels wrote about Surovikin’s return to the Ukrainian war as a settled issue.

It’s too early to say how and where, but already this year the honored military leader will return to Russia and receive a well-deserved position. Operation "Surovikin line" did its job,

— reported the Win/Win channel.

In turn, the channel “On March Z” stated that “the decision of the Supreme Commander to return Surovikin to duty exists.” And the position of military adviser in Sudan and Syria, which he held before, will allegedly be taken by his former subordinate - the ex-chief of logistics of the Aerospace Forces and chief of the logistics staff of the Russian Armed Forces, General Trishunkin.

The position to which Surovikni will return has not yet been disclosed. But in light of the upcoming reshuffles, he may become Deputy Minister of Defense. Literally: “A military general should be in his place, and not drive tramps through the sands,”

- the resource reports.

It should be noted that not everyone believed such information. In particular, in a conversation with Tsargrad, State Duma deputy Lieutenant General Andrei Gurulev said that if the president decided to return Surovikin, then he will return him. But when asked about the likelihood of such a decision, he answered “hardly.”

In a conversation with Tsargrad, military expert retired captain of the first rank Vasily Dandykin expressed his opinion.

Tsargrad: In your opinion, is it worth believing such insights?

Vasily Dandykin: As a military man, albeit in the reserves, I will say this: there is enormous interest in this person, especially after he left the post of head of the Northern Military District, so let’s better see what will happen and how. Everything is the will of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.

Not only Easter and Victory Day are approaching, but also May 7 (the inauguration of the president and the resignation of the government). Next there will be, if not global, rearrangements. In the life of every high-ranking boss there are ups and downs, but no one has canceled the concept of “personnel reserve”. If there is a need for a person, taking into account his professional experience, then he will be available.

- The decision is up to the president...

— Appointments of specific people, both in military service and in civilian service, occur unexpectedly for us, including for telegram channels. And the Supreme One takes a preliminary look, evaluates, and consults. Despite the fact that Surovikin commanded the Aerospace Forces, he has extensive experience in combined arms training and command on the ground. It all depends on how the situation develops at the front, and here, I think, no matter how you look at it, it leads to the fact that we need to attack and liberate our territories. Which is exactly what we are doing now.

So what?

Despite the fact that the likelihood of the famous general returning to duty is now greater than ever, we will still wait for news. But, of course, I want them to be exceptionally kind. A professional can be in demand at all levels - starting from the battalion, regimental level and so on, especially when it comes to the offensive. And people with combat experience are very needed here.

The page with the biography of Deputy Minister Ivanov has disappeared from the Ministry of Defense website

A page with the biography of Deputy Head of the Russian Ministry of Defense Timur Ivanov , who was arrested as part of a case of receiving a bribe on an especially large scale, disappeared from the “Management” section on the official website of the department.

Also, there is no longer any mention of Ivanov on the page where all deputy ministers are listed. At the same time, the links that search engines still provide for the corresponding request are redirected to the subsection about the structure of the Ministry of Defense.

Previously, on the missing page with the deputy minister’s biography, it was indicated that Ivanov was awarded the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, III and IV degrees, the medal of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, I degree, and other awards.

As reported by IA Regnum , law enforcement officers detained Timur Ivanov on the evening of April 23. The next morning the court arrested him until June 23. The Deputy Minister of Defense was charged with receiving a bribe on an especially large scale. According to the investigation, Ivanov, having entered into a criminal conspiracy, received property benefits from contracting and subcontracting work for the needs of the military department. The Deputy Minister of Defense did not admit his guilt in committing the crime .

The Basmanny District Court of Moscow arrested the real estate and bank accounts of Ivanov and his relatives, imposing restrictions on the assets of the accused, his ex-wives and five children.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov at a briefing on April 26 called for trusting only official information and focusing on official statements on the case of the Deputy Minister of Defense.
