12.08.2020

For what Shoigu received the Hero of Russia? Many have asked this question long ago, ever since he became Defense Minister. Sergei Kuzhegetovich, according to research by sociologists, is one of the most beloved ministers. Many wanted to see him, and not D. A. Medvedev, president a few years ago. However, the ex-minister of emergency situations never set the goal of becoming the first person in the state. So, why did Shoigu receive the Hero of Russia? We will try to answer this question in this article.

For what Shoigu received the Hero of Russia?

S.K.Shoigu has many government and interstate awards. However, a key place among them is played by the Golden Star of the Hero of Russia. Many have missed this moment and do not know when Shoigu became the Hero of Russia, all the more they do not know why. Some people wrongly think that for a military operation in Syria, others - that for the creation of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

Indeed, Sergei Kuzhugetovich Shoigu stood at the origins of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, literally from scratch from various ministries and institutions, he created one of the best rescue departments in the world. This is proved by numerous operations both within the country and abroad.

However, he did not receive the Star of the Hero for this. So why did Shoigu receive the Hero of Russia? When did it happen?

He received the honorary title on September 20, 1999 for courage in performing his duty in eliminating the consequences associated with the destructive actions of bandits on the territory of the Chechen Republic, the Republic of Ingushetia and Dagestan.

Alternative point of view

Some believe that Shoigu earned the title of Hero of Russia earlier, even at the time of Boris Yeltsin's ascent to the top of power. During the tumultuous events of October 3-4, 1993, today's Minister of Defense could gather under his banners many armed people. They, according to some political analysts, played a decisive role in the president's victory against the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation. The president thanked him with the title of Hero of Russia. Be that as it may, it is difficult to overestimate the merits of Sergei Kuzhugetovich: this man did a lot for the development of modern society. In addition to the Hero of Russia, he has many other awards.

Education

S. K. Shoigu has a higher education diploma from the Krasnoyarsk Polytechnic Institute. He even defended his thesis on a topic related to the prevention of emergencies.

Let's list other awards of Sergei Shoigu.

Order of Merit for the Fatherland, III degree - for merits in strengthening civil defense, eliminating natural disasters and catastrophes. Received the order in 2005. 5 years later, in 2010, Shoigu received the same order, but already the second degree for services to the Fatherland.

How Shoigu made a name for himself

Until 1991, very few people knew the name of Shoigu. It was then that he initiated the idea of \u200b\u200bthe Russian Rescue Corps. Subsequently he headed it. During the coup d'état, Shoigu supported Boris Yeltsin. He was already an influential person then, because by this time the corps headed by him had been reorganized into a more solid structure - the State Committee of the RSFSR for Emergencies. In his hands were powerful civil defense forces, armed detachments, equipment. In addition, well-being in the event of a military conflict between the warring parties depended on his decision. For the support of Boris N. Yeltsin Shoigu was awarded the medal "Defender of Free Russia". It was from this time that his authority only increased.

S.K.Shoigu chose the right tactics: he chose an unoccupied niche, created an entire industry. He constantly provided support to the current government, never declared his ambitions to become the president of the Russian Federation. Sergei Kuzhugetovich Shoigu is one of the few who throughout his life goes up the career ladder on the political Olympus of Russia.

The big gold star on the shoulder straps of the Minister of Defense makes many people think that Shoigu's military rank is Marshal (such is the tradition brought up by the long "one-star" status of Soviet marshals in newsreels, feature films, military photo albums). In fact, the head of the security department has been in the rank of army general since 2003. The marshal's star for the shoulder straps of the military of this level was appointed by President Putin by his decree quite recently - in 2013.

Shoulder straps of a marshal of the Russian Federation and an army general - what's the difference?

The second symbol, located closer to the collar of the tunic, - a red star in a wreath - indicates the military rank of an army general. This is followed by the same gold, in appearance marshal, it has a diameter of forty millimeters. The same is embroidered on the shoulder straps of the admiral of the fleet. At the same size, the only large star above it is the coat of arms of the Russian Federation, a two-headed eagle.

The stars on the shoulder straps of the lower generals have half the diameter - 20 millimeters. Previously, until February 2013, Shoigu's military rank allowed him to wear four of these stars. Three to this day adorn the shoulder straps of the colonel-general, two - the lieutenant-general, one - the major-general.

Twinkling Marshall Stars

Four stars were legalized in 1943. For the same military rank in the thirty-three-year period, starting in 1974, a large marshal's star was provided. This is how she was perceived by the popular consciousness brought up on newsreels of the Great Victory. Then, in 1993, the military rank of marshal was canceled, and in 1997 Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin signed a decree to return to the tradition of placing four stars on the shoulder straps of an army general.

The rank of Marshal of the Russian Federation was not canceled by the 1997 reform. However, from that time to this day, it has never been assigned to anyone (like the Stalinist generalissimo, which was listed in the statutes until 1993, but was not inherited by anyone).

Shoigu's military rank is now higher than that of the President of the Russian Federation and the Queen of England!

Dressed in uniform, he wears the modest shoulder straps of a colonel (the rank in which he was transferred to the reserve from the KGB, now - the FSB). So, formally, Shoigu's military rank is higher than that of the president. But the post of commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Russian Federation is a priority.

Let us recall that Emperor Nicholas II also ruled the state with the rank of colonel. The same title is borne by all current monarchs of Great Britain (not excluding the imposing Elizabeth II, "assigned" to the Horse Guards regiment).

Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev is also a reserve colonel. With regard to mutual "reverence" for the prime minister and the president - an absolutely equal tandem. On occasion, they can greet each other as equals in rank.

The unprecedented career of Sergei Kuzhugetovich

To obtain the current rank, you need, according to the Regulations on the procedure for passing military service (Article 22), to stay in the army (joining them as a private) for at least 30 years. From receiving a lieutenant (the military rank of Minister of Defense Shoigu, in which he retired in 1977) - at least 26 years. That is exactly how much passed on the calendar until 2003, when on May 7 he became army general.

The surprising thing is that Sergei Kuzhugetovich became Major General on April 26, 1993, at that time, according to the existing order, he was relied on only epaulets ... of a senior lieutenant, at best, a captain (he entered military service again in 1991). If the officer continuously and as successfully as possible climbed the army hierarchy, by this time he could rise to the rank of colonel. Either Boris Yeltsin "confused" the ranks, or the services to the country are so great, but Shoigu "slipped through" many military ranks.

Segey Kuzhugetovich received the rank of lieutenant upon graduation from the Krasnoyarsk Polytechnic Institute. He safely passed all the sergeant levels associated with urgent military service. Thus, Shoigu's military ranks add up to a dizzyingly short chain of only five links - from lieutenant to successive generals.

General's steps

In this part of the ascent up the bureaucratic ladder, the recommendations of the Army Regulations were formally observed: two years later, on May 5, 1995, Shoigu became a major general, three and a half years later, on December 8, 1998, a colonel general. From May 7, 2003 to the present, Shoigu's military ranks "stalled" at the high level of army general. Actually, it would be illogical to assign a higher marshal rank to the head of the ministry under the "colonel's rank" of the president himself.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin eschews that army pomp, which Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin did not neglect in his time. Rumors about the assignment of the marshal's rank to the president of the Russian Federation were premature. Moreover, the rank of generalissimo or field marshal (both perceived purely as belonging to history) is unlikely to be revived in Russia. Therefore, the current situation is likely to hold out at least until the end of the presidency of the current head of state.

Should we expect a "supernova explosion"?

It seems that the very phrase "general of the army" is perceived by ear very solidly and has a broad semantic connotation: the leader of the entire Russian army, of all the armed forces. So, presumably, in the near future Shoigu's new military ranks will not appear in his brilliantly short track record.

But what will happen if Sergei Kuzhugetovich decides to run for president for the next term with the approval of the leading parliamentary party and with the blessing of his charismatic predecessor? Such a prospect is very likely, the transition from commanding the forces of the Ministry of Emergencies to commanding the army is one of the indirect signs of the "passing figure" of the future candidate.

The transition to the next level, raising the status to the presidential one can serve as a state decision on the assignment of S.K. Shoigu marshal rank. And then a double-headed eagle, the coat of arms of the Russian Federation, will appear above the embroidered star on a chase with a diameter of 40 mm.
