Change of commander of the Pacific Fleet
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[ColonelCassad] After a sudden check of the forces of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Federation from the post of commander of the fleet, Admiral Avakyants (commanded the Pacific Fleet since 2012), who was transferred to the post of chief of staff of the centers for military sports training and patriotic education.
It looks like a surprise check uncovered some unnamed problems that led to staffing decisions.
RIA Novosti reports that the position of the new commander of the Pacific Fleet (the previous commander Avakyants was transferred to military-patriotic work) the candidacy of the commander of the Baltic Fleet. (previously also served in the Black Sea Fleet as deputy commander.)
Admiral Viktor Liin is being considered. It was noted at one time in history with an attempt to break through the "Ukrainian wolf pack" through the Kerch Strait, as a result of which a tugboat and 2 armored boats of the Ukrainian Navy were captured.
PS. TASS reports that the reason for the departure of Avakyants from the post of commander of the Pacific Fleet was the achievement of the age limit.
PS2. Kramnik writes that in theory he could serve up to age 70.
PS3. MiG writes that the decision to leave Avakyants from the post of commander was made even before the check
Or maybe he didn't like his personal guard, the Russian Separate 155th Naval Infantry Brigade being used in a non fleet mission.
