Can see some folks have been waiting for this. Thanks for your patience.
RF President Vladimir Putin signed out his Constitution Day promotion list on December 12.
For the MOD, it included two three-star, five two-star, and 22 one-star promotions (19 general-majors and three rear-admirals).
For Putin’s Natsgvardiya, it was skimpy. Its top ranks must be full. Only two two-stars and five one-stars.
On the MOD list, GOMU Chief Burdinskiy and Eastern MD COS / FDC Kuralenko made general-colonel.
