First female general of the armed forces. Elena Knyazeva: the only acting female general in the Russian army

A very piquant situation is developing in the generals of the Russian Ministry of Defense. Apparently, there appeared two types of generals. "Regular" - with yellow stars on shoulder straps. These titles are awarded by the Supreme Commander, whose role is played by the President of the country. And there are "unusual" - with white stars. These stars appeared in the army after the post of Minister of Defense was taken by Sergei Shoigu. Such insignia are awarded on the basis of civil ranks to trusted civilians (including females) by internal orders of the Ministry of Defense. Thus, Sergei Shoigu seems to be forming his own "women's battalion" with "almost general" stars, and unlimited confidence.

The material dated 05/03/19 was amended on 07/03/19 (in italics) in accordance with the information received from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The exact number of generals (and admirals) in the Russian army is currently unknown. According to data for past years, it can be assumed that there are from 860 to 879 of them.

Of these, 115 lieutenant generals (vice admirals), 290 major generals (senior rear admirals), 440 brigadier generals (junior rear admirals), and 34 "full" generals. All of them wear yellow stars on shoulder straps.

Whitecaps and Yellowcaps

With the advent in 2012 to the post of Minister of Defense Sergei Kuzhugetovich Shoigu the situation in the army began to change rapidly. There, for example, new shoulder straps were seen - with large white stars. But if the "yellow" generals are appointed by their decrees by the supreme commander in chief (the Russian president), then the "white" ones, apparently, are the minister of defense. Do you get, so to speak, "generals" for "internal use"? A special piquancy to the whole story is given by the fact how the "white-lined" these shoulder straps are combined with skirts.

And the topic was in the spotlight after the appearance on the youtube channel of a video that talked about Maria Kitaeva. The video scored two million views, after which it was blocked, but it quickly multiplied on social networks. The Streisand Effect once again proved its strength - now many more people know and watch the movie about "General Kitaev".

The star has risen

Now on the website of the Ministry of Defense there is no information about the employee Maria Kitaeva. Other information resources have also been thoroughly cleaned up. They do not agree on the main dates - the birth, study and work of Maria Vladimirovna. In the article about her on the Wikipedia website, there is not even a year of birth. According to some reports, it seems that she was born in 1986 and spent her childhood in Belgium, but then something went wrong and she returned to Moscow, where she entered the Moscow State Institute of International Relations. But instead of a career as a diplomat, she decided to become an actress. This is evidenced by the career of Maria Kitaeva: according to the site kleo.ru, she is the one who starred in the film “The Year of the Horse - the constellation of Scorpio” and participates in theatrical productions.

Then Maria began her career as a television presenter: from 2007 to 2010 she worked on the Stolitsa TV channel, and then on Zvezda. But Kitaeva's career on the VGTRK TV channel turned out to be extremely bright: there are many videos on the network about how a young TV star tries to talk about economics and business and (despite his education from MGIMO) desperately confuses basic concepts and names. These frank shortcomings do not prevent her from interviewing the iconic faces of the country - Dmitry Peskov, Irina Vinner, Mikhail Prokhorov and others. The somewhat glamorous image of the TV presenter was paired with quite risky work as a reporter in Syria, Tunisia and Libya. And the work of Maria Kitaeva in documentaries about the work of the Ministry of Emergency Situations turned out to be especially significant.

It is not known for certain how the life and bureaucratic paths of Sergei Kuzhugetovich Shoigu and Maria Kitaeva intersected, and whether they intersected at all. The media casually mentions that a spectacular journalist when he was the governor of the Moscow region in 2011 was noticed by Sergei Shoigu, and offered the job of an adviser on information policy. And about a year later, Maria Kitaeva received a high rank.

Supplemented with a quote from a rebuttal received from the Department of Defense:

The position category "adviser to the federal minister" not only in the Russian Ministry of Defense, but also in all other federal ministries in accordance with Federal Law No. positions of the Federal State Civil Service” is assigned to the highest group of positions of state civil servants.

Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated February 1, 2005 No. 113 “On the procedure for assigning and maintaining class ranks of the state civil service of the Russian Federation”, each state civil servant is assigned a class rank.

The same regulatory legal document establishes that the position of "adviser to the federal minister" corresponds to the class rank "actual state adviser of the 2nd class", which is assigned only by decree of the President of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the class rank "actual state adviser of the 2nd class" of federal state civil servants had nothing to do with the military ranks of senior officers of the Armed Forces and does not have.

Note that the class rank of the state adviser of the Russian Federation of the 2nd class corresponds to the military rank - lieutenant general and vice admiral. So the class rank of Maria Kitaeva corresponds to the military general rank.

In fact, of course, all these general stars can be called "real" with a stretch - they are for internal use. But on the TV screen they look quite real and cannot but attract attention. Against the background of the career of former colleagues, the rise of Maria Kitaeva really turned out to be stellar. Apparently, this method has already been adopted by new generations of Russian girls. "General" epaulettes (even fake) can be cooler than life in Brussels.

By the way

All this might seem like a joke, but such stars adorn, for example, another deputy minister of defense - Tatyana Shevtsova. She oversees the organization of the financial support of the Armed Forces.

From the comments: “Another bottom has been broken!”

“My brother is a retired officer. He served in the DSHB, was a combat officer. He shot, jumped with a parachute, studied hand-to-hand combat, prepared to defend his homeland. Maybe he didn't study it? It turns out that the officers do not study there, you need to study the modeling business, then they will rise to the rank of marshals "

“Very often, female individuals study at MGIMO for the money of their dads”

Here: China Eva is a Muscovite!
She is from childhood: a star?
Her field: show business?
Once a model: in it - was it?

Journalist: like - too?
Even - in VGTRK!
On TV - read: texts!
Noodles - hung up: she?

On TV, is she a business ball?
Was it very funny to her?
In a country of fools - as if?
She is at ease: okay?

Not a country, but a theatre: sartirs?
Generalshei: suddenly - she?
Became: what if - for the sake of laughter?
To laugh: the whole country?

From the comments: “The Internet is seething with indignation about the 28-year-old woman of the general. Here is a typical quote: “Maria Kitaeva is the youngest major general in the armed forces. She received this title at the age of 28, being just an adviser to the Minister of the Armed Forces Shoigu ... Professional military for years, but what's there, for decades waiting for promotion, and few people rise to the rank of general even from among military officers. Well, righteous indignation continues to escalate. Or here's another article on the same subject, and indeed we type the request "General Kitaev" and enjoy the streams of nonsense. But what is it really? Firstly, Maria Kitaeva is not a soldier at all! This is a purely civilian person. But what about the title, you ask? But what about shoulder straps? We don't believe! It follows from this ... Secondly, Kitaeva is neither a major general nor a lieutenant general. She never had a military rank, and now she doesn't. Who is this madam? And everything is very simple: Maria Kitaeva, adviser to Shoigu, current state adviser of the Russian Federation, 2nd class. An absolutely civilian rank, assigned to her by presidential decree. And why in uniform? And the truth is, everyone burns fiercely from shoulder straps. How so? Boils our mind indignant! It turns out that you just need to follow the news - a new uniform is being introduced in the Ministry of Defense. This is quite officially stated. Here's another typical example for you: If you look at the epaulettes, it's an army general, right? But no! Not a general, and in general a completely civilian person, without ranks. This is Tatyana Shevtsova, Shoigu's deputy, State Councilor of the Russian Federation, 1st class, Honored Economist of the Russian Federation, Candidate of Economic Sciences. So where did they get all their epaulettes from? We read the explanation of the Secretary of State of the Ministry of Defense Nikolai Pankov: “The minister himself and his deputies were the first to change into new suits at the end of August. Civilian deputies - Tatyana Shevtsova and Anatoly Antonov - did not hide their embarrassment when they found themselves on the line at the "tank biathlon" in Alabino in a new black uniform with white "general's" shoulder straps. Pankov explained that the stars of civilian deputies Shoigu were hanged because of their class rank - Shevtsova is a state adviser of the first class, and Antonov is of the second. All civil servants of the Ministry of Defense with a class rank will have such stars. Thus, believing our eyes and observing the white stars on shoulder straps, we draw the obvious conclusion: Kitaeva, Shevtsova and other beautiful ladies are not “generals”, in any sense. These are civilians, albeit in serious positions. And the main question remains: who and why is spreading fakes.

2. The people in social networks are outraged that Kitaeva is a lieutenant general, they ask themselves the question: “What did she do so outstandingly for such a rank, and what did this Kitaeva do in general, and why nothing was heard about her for several years?”.

Along the way, they discover negative image articles about Shoigu removed from the Internet:

It is generally accepted that military service is the lot of men, and not of the fairer sex. Moreover, it is considered atypical when a woman occupies the highest command posts in the army. But these stereotypes are broken by the example of such a person as Tatyana Viktorovna Shevtsova, an army general. The biography of this outstanding woman and statesman will be the subject of our study.

early years

In July 1969, in a small town with a very ancient and glorious history since the time of the Chernigov Principality, Shevtsova Tatyana Viktorovna, an army general, was born. The family largely predetermined her future fate, since Tanya's father was Viktor Shevtsov, who was a regular soldier.

Significant is the fact that the hometown of Tatyana Viktorovna - Kozelsk - at one time offered the most stubborn resistance to the Mongol-Tatar invasion among the settlements of Russia. His siege in 1238 lasted seven weeks. For this, he called Kozelsk the "evil city" and ordered to burn it. But later it was rebuilt.

After graduating from a local school and receiving a secondary education, the future Army General Shevtsova Tatyana Viktorovna decided to devote herself to economic activity and entered the Leningrad Institute of Finance and Economics, which now already has the status of a university. In 1991, she successfully completed her studies at this educational institution.

in public service

Immediately after graduating from the institute, the future Army General Shevtsova Tatyana Viktorovna chose the path of a civil servant for herself. Since 1991, she has been working in various structures of the tax service. At the beginning of this journey, Tatyana Viktorovna was an ordinary inspector serving the Central District of the city of St. Petersburg.

In her post, she showed diligence, initiative, readiness to fulfill the most important tasks with zeal. These characteristic features of her could not be overlooked by Tatyana Viktorovna's immediate supervisors. Therefore, it was relatively easy for her to move up the career ladder. In 2000, she moved to work in Moscow, where she held the position of head of the department of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties, which in 2004 was transformed into the Federal Tax Service (FTS) under the Ministry of Finance.

In 2004, the future Army General Shevtsova Tatyana Viktorovna was appointed to the high post of Deputy Head of the Federal Tax Service, who at that time was Serdyukov Anatoly Eduardovich. She will cross paths with this person more than once when they work together in a completely different department.

In the meantime, the future General of the Army Tatyana Viktorovna Shevtsova continued to master the offices of the tax service. Photos of those times are located above. Her immediate tasks as deputy head of the country included the administration of the payment of taxes and fees by the largest enterprises in Russia.

Distinctions and awards in the public service

In 2006, in connection with her direct professional activities, Tatyana Viktorovna received the title of Honored Economist of the Russian Federation, as well as a candidate of economic sciences. The very next year, she was awarded. But as it turned out, Tatyana Shevtsova's further career was no longer connected with work in the tax service.

Ministerial reshuffles

As mentioned above, the fate of Tatyana Shevtsova was largely connected with the fate of A.E. Serdyukov. Until 2007, he served as head of the Federal Tax Service, under which Tatyana Viktorovna was deputy. In February 2007, Anatoly Eduardovich was appointed Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, but by agreement for another three years he continued to oversee the work of the Federal Tax Service. MP Mokretsov was appointed head of this department instead of him, who, by and large, like Tatyana Shevtsova, was a member of Serdyukov's team.

But 2010 brought significant changes. M. V. Mishustin became the head of the Federal Tax Service, who decided to put his own people in leadership positions in the service. Therefore, a number of persons close to A.E. Serdyukov were soon dismissed from the Federal Tax Service. The future General of the Army Shevtsova Tatyana Viktorovna was no exception.

Appointment to the post of Deputy Minister of Defense

However, A.E. Serdyukov did not forget about the members of his team. Knowing their professionalism and already having considerable experience of working with these people, Anatoly Eduardovich offered them a number of important positions in the Ministry of Defense. So, Mikhail Mokretsov became the chief of staff of the Ministry of Defense and deputy minister. Nadezhda Sinnikova, who previously held the position of deputy head of the Federal Tax Service, became the head of Rosoboronpostavka. In addition, such associates of Serdyukov as E. Vechko and D. Chushkin moved from the tax service to work in the Ministry of Defense.

Naturally, Anatoly Serdyukov could not forget about such an active woman as Tatyana Shevtsova, who had repeatedly shown her professionalism in any business that she took up. In May 2010, she became his official advisor. Already in August of the same year, Tatyana Viktorovna, by order of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, was appointed to the post of Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation.

In a new position

As always, Tatyana Viktorovna began to fulfill her duties in her new position with zeal. Just in this work, an important role, in addition to Shevtsova's personal qualities, was played by the fact that her father was a regular military man. Therefore, the army life was in her blood, and Tatyana Viktorovna knew about it firsthand.

A year after her appointment, she received the rank of the second class of a real state adviser, and after some time he was promoted to the level of the first class. This rank corresponded. Thus, we can say that now Shevtsova Tatyana Viktorovna is an army general.

Scandal at the Department of Defense

In 2012, there was a major scandal in the Ministry of Defense, which directly or indirectly affected all the higher ranks of the department, including Tatyana Shevtsova. It was caused by the revelation of facts of corruption, abuse and fraud among employees of Oboronservis, which was an enterprise controlled by the Ministry of Defense. In addition, Serdyukov was the chairman of the board of directors of Oboronservis. The basis for the proceedings was the sale of the organization's property at deliberately low prices. The loss of the state amounted to at least 3 billion rubles.

The investigation in this case revealed the facts of Serdyukov's possible direct involvement in these illegal actions, since the sale of such a volume of property of a controlled enterprise without his consent simply could not be carried out.

Given that Serdyukov could be personally interested in falsifying the results of the investigation, as well as the fact that he could not ensure the safety of the company's property, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev decided to resign him. The relevant decree is dated November 2012. Sergei Shoigu, who previously headed the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and also briefly the former governor of the Moscow Region, was appointed head of the Ministry of Defense.

In 2013, Serdyukov himself was charged with negligence in this case, but the next year the case was closed, since Anatoly Eduardovich fell under an amnesty as a “defender of the Fatherland”.

Members of Serdyukov's team were also investigated by the Ministry of Defense, but no specific charges were filed. Tatyana Shevtsova continued to hold the position of Deputy Minister of Defense under Sergei Shoigu, although she wrote a letter of resignation back in 2012, but it was not accepted until a new person was found for the position of financier of the armed forces.

Modern stage

After 2012, Tatyana Shevtsova also continues to pay full attention to her work as Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. Thanks to her personal qualities, she quite easily joined Shoigu's team. Tatyana Shevtsova successfully copes with all the assigned tasks.

At present, the main task of Tatyana Viktorovna is the financial support of the country's armed forces. Experience in the tax service to a large extent helps her in this matter. Shevtsova is directly subordinate to the departments of social guarantees, financial planning, financial monitoring, economic planning, and financial support.

Awards

Shevtsova Tatyana Viktorovna, an army general, has many state distinctions. She has awards of various levels and from different departments in her luggage. She received these distinctions both while working in the Federal Tax Service and in the Ministry of Defense. Each award represents a certain value for her, it symbolizes that the work of Tatyana Shevtsova is in demand.

Even during her work at the Federal Tax Service, she received such distinctions as the title of Honored Economist of the Russian Federation and the Order of Honor, was awarded the medal "For Labor Valor" and a diploma of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Then she was awarded the medals "300th Anniversary of St. Petersburg" as a person who did a lot for the development of this city, and "65 Years of the Kaluga Region" as a famous native of this region.

After moving to work in the Ministry of Defense, the number of awards became even greater. Tatyana Viktorovna received the Order of Friendship, as well as the medals "For the return of the Crimea", "For services to the Fatherland" and "Colonel-General Dutov".

Undoubtedly, the number of orders, awards and distinctions in the future Tatyana Shevtsova will increase even more.

Contact details

As part of her service, Tatyana Viktorovna Shevtsova, an army general, communicates quite a lot with different people. Contacts of a personal nature of such an important person, of course, are not disclosed. Any citizen of Russia can directly contact Tatyana Viktorovna through the official website of the Ministry of Defense.

Family

Now let's find out what kind of personal life Tatyana Viktorovna Shevtsova lives - Army General. Marital status is of interest to many.

A high position obliges to special relations with relatives. Shevtsova Tatyana Viktorovna, an army general, understands this very well. The family for her is not a topic that the Deputy Minister of Defense wants to expand on. Nevertheless, it is known that Tatyana Viktorovna is married to a man who was previously a professional soldier and is now a businessman. Shevtsova Tatyana Viktorovna, an army general, has been married for more than a year. There are also children in this family, or rather, one child.

general characteristics

We learned a lot of interesting information about such a high-ranking person as Shevtsova Tatyana Viktorovna - Army General. The biography, family, career of this woman were studied in some detail by us.

During her work in the Federal Tax Service and the Ministry of Defense, she has established herself as a responsible person, a professional who is very difficult to find a replacement for. Tatyana Shevtsova is a specialist who is ready to take on tasks of any complexity. Tatyana Viktorovna's professional characteristics have been repeatedly marked by state awards and incentives at various levels.

At the same time, a busy work schedule did not prevent her from starting her own family. Although, unfortunately, due to her professional employment, Tatyana Shevtsova cannot devote the amount of time she would like to her.

Tatyana Viktorovna Shevtsova is an excellent example that breaks the stereotype that the army is not for women. Her biography proves that the fairer sex in the armed forces can be no less useful than men. Let's hope that the main career achievements of Tatyana Viktorovna are yet to come.

It is impossible to imagine the Russian Army today without the fair sex. They perform their military duty in special forces units, in the marines, in motorized rifle and arctic brigades as soldiers, sailors, sergeants, foremen, warrant officers, midshipmen and officers. By law, it is forbidden to involve women in guard, garrison and internal service. The participation of girls on the battlefield or sending them to hot spots is also not allowed. Today, many girls complain about the injustice of laws and the inequality of opportunities for women in the Russian army. They say that girls go to serve in order to prove to themselves that they are no worse than men, but the main thing is that girls are ready to pay their debt to their native country.

Girls in the army can get into the army in two ways. First, by enrolling in a military school and receiving an officer's rank after graduation. Education in military schools for girls is free. Secondly, girls can get into the army under a contract. According to the latest official data, there are 326,000 women in the Russian Armed Forces. This figure is made up of civilian personnel and those who wear epaulettes. There are about 45 thousand women soldiers in the army.

According to statistics, today one thousand nine hundred and fifty women serve in officer positions in the armed forces of the Russian Federation. Of these, twelve are in the rank of colonel, two hundred and sixty lieutenant colonels, five hundred majors, five hundred and fifty two captains, six hundred lieutenants, and several senior lieutenants. Data quickly becomes outdated, because there are more and more women in the army.

Every year, girls' interest in military service increases, including the increase in the number of those who serve under a contract. The fair sex attracts in the service, first of all, a high level of social security: a decent salary, social guarantees, the prospect of obtaining service housing, good medical care.

There are women generals in the Russian army. In 2010, Army General Tatyana Shevtsova was appointed Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation by order of the Commander-in-Chief.

Elena Knyazeva - Deputy Head of the Military University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for educational and scientific work since September 25, 2012.

Women today are ready to defend their homeland on an equal footing with men. Defender's Day has also become their holiday, and they receive congratulations along with men. Girls in the service do not receive special indulgences, but the girls themselves admit that they receive unofficial indulgences in the service. And yet, even in the army, girls remain true to themselves, they are beautiful, responsible and faithful to duty. Girls bring in the army, where a purely masculine spirit has always reigned, new relationships. They are changing the face of the Russian Armed Forces in the literal sense of the word. The army becomes beautiful.

A special selection contains photographs of female cadets of the Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School named after General of the Army V.F. Margelov, one of the elite military higher educational institutions. The release of the first set of female military personnel took place in 2013.

Not every soldier who dreams of becoming a general rises to this rank, but even more rarely this destiny is destined for women, although exceptions do occur. One of such rare cases of a female general in the Russian army is T.V. Shevtsov. She was appointed to the post of deputy defense on August 4, 2010, according to the order of the President of Russia. Let's find out what was her path to this position.

Childhood and youth

The hometown of Tatyana Shevtsova was a small settlement Kozelsk, near Kaluga. She was born in July 1969. The family played an important role in her fate, because. her father was a professional soldier. For this reason, she has been familiar with army life since childhood.

After receiving a certificate of secondary education, she decided to connect her life with the field of finance and became a student at the Leningrad Financial Institute. She graduated in 1991 and became a certified specialist in finance.

Career

After graduating, she decided to connect her profession with work in government structures. In 1991, she joined the tax department and continued to work in various divisions of this department. I had to start with the position of an ordinary inspector of the district branch of St. Petersburg.

In her positions, she always showed responsibility and zeal, which of course was noticed by her immediate supervisors. In 2000, she changed her city of residence to Moscow, where she was offered the responsible position of head of the tax service department. In 2004, she was already on the staff of the Federal Tax Service under the Cabinet of the Ministry of Finance. There she received the post of deputy head of the Federal Tax Service, while Anatoly Eduardovich Serdyukov was her immediate supervisor, who would later contribute to her career advancement.

In 2006, she was awarded the title of the best financier in the country.

In 2007, when A. Serdyukov took over as Minister of Defense, he oversaw the activities of the Federal Tax Service for another 3 years. 2010 was a turning point in the career of Tatyana Viktorovna Shevtsova. The post of head of the Federal Tax Service was taken by M.V. Mishustin. All employees included in the team of A. Serdyukov were fired.

Appointment to a post under the Ministry of Defense

Despite this unpleasant moment in her career, high professionalism and her abilities were not forgotten. Anatoly Serdyukov remembered the members of his team, he also remembered his former employee. In the spring of 2010, she received the post of official adviser to the Minister of Defense on financial matters, and in August 2010 she received the post of Deputy Minister of Defense.

In her new position, she continued to work with her usual responsibility and high professionalism. Moreover, army issues were not a new area for her, because since childhood she has been familiar with the problems and life of the military.

For a short time, she was awarded the rank of colonel general, thanks to which she became a general of the Russian Army. In a difficult time for her after the removal of Serdyukov from his post, no criminal prosecution was carried out against Tatyana Shevtsova. Therefore, she remained in her position even after the change of defense minister took place.

Personal life

As expected by officials in such a position, she does not cover her personal life. It is only known that despite such a workload, she managed to start a family. Her husband is also an ex-military and now deals with more peaceful matters. There are also children.
