Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] Regarding yesterday's stuffing about the fact that "General Surovikin is in prison."
Surovikin continues to fulfill his duties in the NVO zone. No one arrested him, fired him from the army, or put him in jail. As they write, today I was at a military conference in Rostov. A video with him will also be shown soon.
It was also funny yesterday to read stuffing about the fact that the video with Surovikin dated June 24 was "recorded in prison."
In fact, it was recorded in the NWO zone. Well, about the prison, it’s completely ridiculous, given the fact that Surovikin is with weapons in the video.
In general, the usual informational sketch of Western propaganda, which some of us have swallowed. And not only in this case.

Two notes: the word stuffing, used in the two articles presented here, can be interpreted as bullshit.
Had the N Y Times been reading rantburg.com, they already would have concluded the writer was spewing "stuffing."
General Armageddon during interrogations: Who is trying to drown Surovikin
After an attempted military mutiny, stuffing began to be done about General Sergei Surovikin. Tsargrad found out where the topic came from and who benefits from it.
After the Wagner rebellion, large-scale inspections began at the General Staff of the Armed Forces and the Russian Ministry of Defense, insiders report. Also, stuffing appeared that interrogations were being carried out with the participation of General Sergei Surovikin. "Hesitancy in suppressing the rebellion"
The team of military blogger Mikhail Zvinchuk on the Rybar telegram channel reported on the great work of investigators in the Russian Armed Forces in general and in the Russian Ministry of Defense in particular. And this work has been going on for more than one day. For several days now, investigators and representatives of the FSO have been working both on the leadership of military command and control bodies and on unit commanders, - the message of Zvinchuk's team says.
The authors of "Rybar" insist that the pretext for the checks was "indecisiveness in suppressing the rebellion." But "the litmus test was the support of PMCs." And that's what the interrogations are about. Surovikin has not been seen since Saturday - it is not known for certain where General Armageddon is located, there is a version that he is under interrogation, - the message says.
The actual leadership of the course of the special military operation is carried out by the commander of the Airborne Forces, Mikhail Teplinskiy. Valery Gerasimov formally retains the post of chief of the General Staff, but has nothing to do with resolving issues of the NMD, the authors of Rybar add.
"GENERAL ARMAGEDDON" UNDER INTERROGATION
The topic of Surovikin's disappearance was picked up by the Telegram channel Radiotochka NSN. He cites the words of Vladimir Prokhvatilov, senior researcher at the Academy of Military Sciences, according to which "General Armageddon", as the Western media call Surovikin, is in the structures that are investigating. He can sit both on one side and on the other side of the table at which interrogations take place, - leads the Telegram channel of the words of the expert.
LEGS GROW FROM THE USA
The stuffing about the "disappearance" of Surovikin after the rebellion of the PMC "Wagner" can be traced back to the United States. Thus, the American newspaper The New York Times claims that General Surovikin could have known in advance about the plans for a military mutiny.
The Wall Street Journal adds fuel to the fire. The publication writes that the ease with which Wagner PMC occupied a large city may indicate the possible participation of representatives of the armed forces in the conspiracy. At the same time, it is obvious that the search for traitors inside Russia is extremely beneficial for the United States. There, they already expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the rebellion was not as bloody as Washington would like, and even ended within a day.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the United States wants to "continue the banquet" and deliberately shake the situation with the help of stuffing. Surovikin in his place
According to domestic experts, information about the participation of Surovikin in interrogations due to the uprising of the Wagner PMC in any capacity is complete nonsense. First, he was one of the first to condemn Prigozhin's uprising and urged the fighters to stop.
And secondly, "General Armageddon" has a lot of things to do, especially on the Zaporozhye front. General Surovikin goes about his business, directly. He is Deputy Commander of the Joint Group of Forces in Ukraine, - said a military observer, reserve colonel, war veteran Gennady Alekhin in an interview with Tsargrad.
SENSATION OUT OF NOWHERE
Separately, the expert spoke about inspections at the General Staff and the Russian Ministry of Defense. Gennady Alekhin recalled the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Supreme Commander-in-Chief, during a meeting with the military, said that the personnel authorities would first of all consider the issues of promotion to higher positions of commanders and officers who had distinguished themselves in the NMD and distinguished themselves.
These personnel issues should not be confused with some incomprehensible checks. I would not call what is happening a "witch hunt". Everyone is doing their own thing. The organs of the prosecutor's office, the special services, of course, keep in view the moments concerning this "raid" of "Wagner" on Moscow.
But this should not be confused with other events that take place according to the ordinary rotation system, with the nomination of candidates for higher positions in the Ministry of Defense, - explained the military observer. He stressed that the principle, when those who showed themselves poorly during the events of June 24, are removed, and those who showed good performance are nominated, is not used.
And in general, our information structures need to act more carefully when covering the issue of this rebellion. I'll tell you straight and frankly: they don't know much. And it is correct that such information is not distributed. Usually such issues are resolved in silence and are not made public, - summed up Gennady Alekhin.
