“To appoint Colonel General Andrei Kartapolov as Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation - Head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces, releasing him from his position,” says the text of the decree, which comes into force from the moment of signing.

Kartapolov was born in 1963 in the German Democratic Republic. Graduated from the Moscow Higher Combined Arms Command School (1985), Military Academy named after Frunze (1993), Military Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (2007). Served in the Group Soviet troops in Germany, the Western Group of Forces and the Far Eastern Military District in positions from platoon commander to division commander.

In 2007-2008, he served as deputy army commander in the Siberian Military District. From 2008 to 2009, he was chief of staff - first deputy army commander in the Moscow Military District.

From 2009 to 2010, Kartapolov served as head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.

In November 2015, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, he was appointed commander of the troops of the Western Military District. He was awarded the Order of Military Merit and many medals.

Main Military-Political Directorate

For the first time, a military-political governing body appeared in the Red Army after the revolution. Its name changed several times, and in 1991 the structure received the name of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Armed Forces of the USSR. The main task of the unit since its founding has been to work with the moral and psychological state of personnel.

After the breakup Soviet Union the political component was removed from the name of the main department - in 1992 the Main Directorate for Work with Personnel (GURLS) was created, which also changed its name several times.

According to the official website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, today the main tasks of the GURLS are working with the moral and psychological state of personnel, information and propaganda work and patriotic education of military personnel, organizing military-special, psychological and cultural-leisure work, as well as creating conditions for free religion.

The Main Directorate for Work with Personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation directly subordinates the Center for Military-Patriotic Work of the Russian Armed Forces, the Center for Psychological Work of the Russian Armed Forces, the 49th Center technical means. GURLS is headed by Colonel Mikhail Baryshev.

In turn, the newspaper "Kommersant" dedicated to this event the material of Ivan Safronov and Alexandra Djordjevich “On the main political direction. General Andrei Kartapolov will head the new Main Directorate of the Ministry of Defense,” which states that a main military-political department has appeared in the Ministry of Defense, which will be led by the ex-commander of the Western Military District (ZVO) Colonel General Andrey Kartapolov. The creation of this unit is justified by the need to strengthen “military-patriotic education”, therefore the new deputy minister will also be involved in the “Youth Army” movement. The new commander of the Western Military District, as Kommersant learned, will be Colonel General Alexander Zhuravlev, who is completing the reduction of the group of Russian troops in Syria.

The appointment of Andrei Kartapolov as Deputy Minister of Defense, which RBC reported on Monday, was confirmed by the Governor of St. Petersburg Georgy Poltavchenko. Calling the ex-commander of the Western Military District a “great friend” and “comrade-in-arms,” he presented him with the insignia “For Services to St. Petersburg” and “For Services to Kronstadt.” A few hours later, a decree of Vladimir Putin was published, which specified that in addition to the post of Deputy Minister, General Kartapolov also became the head of the recreated Main Military-Political Directorate (GVPU) of the department. According to Kommersant, the general will be presented to his subordinates in his new position on Wednesday morning in Moscow.

The military-political governing body in the Red Army appeared after the 1917 revolution. Over the past 100 years, its name has changed several times: in 1991 it sounded like the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Armed Forces of the USSR. After the collapse of the USSR, the Main Directorate for Work with Personnel (GURLS) was created; its tasks included not so much the political education of the military, but control over their moral and psychological state. According to a Kommersant source close to the leadership of the Ministry of Defense, the re-establishment of the political department was justified both by the global need to strengthen “military-patriotic education” and by the desire to solve a hardware problem: to relieve the workload of Secretary of State and Deputy Minister of Defense Nikolai Pankov. The GVPU will be formed on the basis of the GURLS, which will include several divisions (including the department of culture), and General Kartapolov will also become the curator of the Yunarmiya movement. General Pankov, in turn, will continue to oversee personnel issues, military education and interaction with government agencies.

General Kartapolov’s career took off in 2015: as head of the main operational directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, he was responsible for action planning Russian army in Syria. In November 2015, Mr. Kartapolov was transferred to command the Western Military District. In December 2016, he was sent to Syria, where he stayed until March 2017: it was under his command that Syrian Palmyra was liberated from radical Islamists. Colleagues note that the general is distinguished by his politeness and intelligence. These qualities allowed him to establish good connections with regional authorities, “including those who have direct access to the Kremlin,” says a high-ranking Kommersant source in the Ministry of Defense. Added to this were successes in strengthening the Western Military District: Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu recently stated that since 2016, more than 350 snap inspections have taken place in the district, which showed “a qualitative increase in the level of training of troops and confirmed their readiness to solve problems.” Kommersant’s sources believe that the achievement of such indicators is explained by the geopolitical confrontation with NATO, but this does not diminish the role of General Kartapolov: “He had a difficult area, in which he coped with the work with dignity.”

General Kartapolov’s successor in the Western Military District was not officially named on Monday. However, a Kommersant source close to the leadership of the Ministry of Defense said that the district will be headed by Colonel General Alexander Zhuravlev, who is the commander of the Eastern Military District (EMD), but is now in Syria. The name of General Zhuravlev is directly connected with the Syrian campaign: since September 2015, he headed the headquarters of the group of Russian troops in Syria (received the title “Hero of Russia” for this), then headed the group, was transferred to the post of deputy chief of the General Staff, and was proposed to the post of commander of the Eastern Military District, and then again sent to command the group as part of Operation Retribution. At the end of 2017, he was tasked with reducing the number of troops and ensuring the withdrawal military equipment from Syria, which, according to Kommersant’s interlocutors, he did: as of July 16, more than 30 planes and helicopters returned to their places of permanent deployment. There is no exact information yet about who can lead the group in Syria and the Eastern Military District troops after Alexander Zhuravlev. Among the candidates for the first post are, in particular, the commander of the Airborne Forces Andrei Serdyukov or the commander-in-chief of the Aerospace Forces Sergei Surovikin, for the second - the chief of staff of the Central Military District Evgeny Ustinov, the chief of staff of the Western Military District Viktor Astapov, as well as several people from the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces.

The Western Military District (WMD) was formed in September 2010 in accordance with the decree of the President of the Russian Federation of September 20, 2010 on the basis of two military districts - Moscow and Leningrad. The Western Military District also included the Northern and Baltic fleets, the 1st Air Force and Air Defense Command.

Currently, troops and forces of the Western Military District are deployed within the administrative boundaries of three federal districts(Northwestern, Central and part of the Volga region) on the territory of 29 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The district headquarters is located in St. Petersburg.

The Western Military District troops include over 2.5 thousand formations and military units with a total number of more than 400 thousand military personnel, which is about 40% of the total number of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. All military formations of the branches and branches of the Armed Forces of the Russian Armed Forces stationed in the district are subordinate to the commander of the Western Military District, with the exception of the Strategic Missile Forces and the Aerospace Defense Forces.

The main tasks of the military district are: forecasting and assessing military threats to the Russian Federation within the boundaries of responsibility, preparing proposals for the formation and implementation of state policy in the field of defense.

The team of the Western Military District was formed in October 2015 based on the results of the qualifying stages, which took place in Naro-Fominsk. In total, 250 officers took part in the competition, holding positions from platoon commander to deputy army commander.

An excerpt characterizing the Western Military District (Russia)

Davout suddenly beamed at the news conveyed by the adjutant and began to button up. He apparently completely forgot about Pierre.
When the adjutant reminded him of the prisoner, he frowned, nodded towards Pierre and said to be led away. But Pierre didn’t know where they were supposed to take him: back to the booth or to the prepared place of execution, which his comrades showed him while walking along the Maiden’s Field.
He turned his head and saw that the adjutant was asking something again.
- Oui, sans doute! [Yes, of course!] - said Davout, but Pierre didn’t know what “yes” was.
Pierre did not remember how, how long he walked and where. He, in a state of complete senselessness and dullness, not seeing anything around him, moved his legs along with the others until everyone stopped, and he stopped. During all this time, one thought was in Pierre’s head. It was the thought of who, who, finally sentenced him to death. These were not the same people who interrogated him in the commission: not one of them wanted and, obviously, could not do this. It was not Davout who looked at him so humanly. Another minute and Davout would have realized that they were doing something wrong, but this moment was interrupted by the adjutant who entered. And this adjutant, obviously, did not want anything bad, but he might not have entered. Who was it that finally executed, killed, took his life - Pierre with all his memories, aspirations, hopes, thoughts? Who did this? And Pierre felt that it was no one.
It was an order, a pattern of circumstances.
Some kind of order was killing him - Pierre, depriving him of his life, of everything, destroying him.

From the house of Prince Shcherbatov, the prisoners were led straight down along the Devichye Pole, to the left of the Devichye Monastery and led to a vegetable garden on which there was a pillar. Behind the pillar there was a large hole dug with freshly dug up earth, and a large crowd of people stood in a semicircle around the pit and the pillar. The crowd consisted of a small number of Russians and large number Napoleonic troops out of formation: Germans, Italians and French in different uniforms. To the right and left of the pillar stood fronts of French troops in blue uniforms with red epaulettes, boots and shakos.
The criminals were placed in a certain order, which was on the list (Pierre was sixth), and were led to a post. Several drums suddenly struck from both sides, and Pierre felt that with this sound it was as if part of his soul had been torn away. He lost the ability to think and think. He could only see and hear. And he had only one desire - the desire for something terrible to happen that had to be done as quickly as possible. Pierre looked back at his comrades and examined them.
The two men on the edge were shaven and guarded. One is tall and thin; the other is black, shaggy, muscular, with a flat nose. The third was a street servant, about forty-five years old, with graying hair and a plump, well-fed body. The fourth was a very handsome man, with a thick brown beard and black eyes. The fifth was a factory worker, yellow, thin, about eighteen, in a dressing gown.
Pierre heard that the French were discussing how to shoot - one at a time or two at a time? “Two at a time,” the senior officer answered coldly and calmly. There was movement in the ranks of the soldiers, and it was noticeable that everyone was in a hurry - and they were in a hurry not as they are in a hurry to do something understandable to everyone, but as they are in a hurry to finish a necessary, but unpleasant and incomprehensible task.
A French official in a scarf approached the right side of the line of criminals and read the verdict in Russian and French.
Then two pairs of Frenchmen approached the criminals and, at the officer’s direction, took two guards who were standing on the edge. The guards, approaching the post, stopped and, while the bags were brought, silently looked around them, as a wounded animal looks at a suitable hunter. One kept crossing himself, the other scratched his back and made a movement with his lips like a smile. The soldiers, hurrying with their hands, began to blindfold them, put on bags and tie them to a post.
Twelve riflemen with rifles stepped out from behind the ranks with measured, firm steps and stopped eight steps from the post. Pierre turned away so as not to see what would happen. Suddenly a crash and roar was heard, which seemed to Pierre louder than the most terrible thunderclaps, and he looked around. There was smoke, and the French with pale faces and trembling hands were doing something near the pit. They brought the other two. In the same way, with the same eyes, these two looked at everyone, in vain, with only their eyes, silently, asking for protection and, apparently, not understanding or believing what would happen. They could not believe, because they alone knew what their life was for them, and therefore they did not understand and did not believe that it could be taken away.
Pierre wanted not to look and turned away again; but again, as if a terrible explosion struck his ears, and along with these sounds he saw smoke, someone’s blood and pale scared faces the French, again doing something at the post, pushing each other with trembling hands. Pierre, breathing heavily, looked around him, as if asking: what is this? The same question was in all the glances that met Pierre’s gaze.
On all the faces of the Russians, on the faces of the French soldiers, officers, everyone without exception, he read the same fear, horror and struggle that were in his heart. “Who does this anyway? They all suffer just like me. Who? Who?” – it flashed in Pierre’s soul for a second.
– Tirailleurs du 86 me, en avant! [Shooters of the 86th, forward!] - someone shouted. They brought in the fifth one, standing next to Pierre - alone. Pierre did not understand that he was saved, that he and everyone else were brought here only to be present at the execution. With ever-increasing horror, feeling neither joy nor peace, he looked at what was happening. The fifth was a factory worker in a dressing gown. They had just touched him when he jumped back in horror and grabbed Pierre (Pierre shuddered and broke away from him). The factory worker could not go. They dragged him under his arms, and he shouted something. When they brought him to the pillar, he suddenly fell silent. It was as if he suddenly understood something. Either he realized that it was in vain to shout, or that it was impossible for people to kill him, but he stood at the post, waiting for the bandage along with the others and, like a shot animal, looking around him with shining eyes.
Pierre could no longer take it upon himself to turn away and close his eyes. The curiosity and excitement of him and the entire crowd at this fifth murder reached highest degree. Just like the others, this fifth one seemed calm: he pulled his robe around him and scratched one bare foot against the other.
When they began to blindfold him, he straightened the very knot on the back of his head that was cutting him; then, when they leaned him against the bloody post, he fell back, and since he felt awkward in this position, he straightened himself out and, placing his legs evenly, leaned calmly. Pierre did not take his eyes off him, not missing the slightest movement.
A command must have been heard, and after the command the shots of eight guns must have been heard. But Pierre, no matter how much he tried to remember later, did not hear the slightest sound from the shots. He only saw how, for some reason, the factory worker suddenly sank down on the ropes, how blood appeared in two places, and how the ropes themselves, from the weight of the hanging body, unraveled and the factory worker, unnaturally lowering his head and twisting his leg, sat down. Pierre ran up to the post. No one was holding him back. Frightened, pale people were doing something around the factory floor. One old, mustachioed Frenchman's lower jaw was shaking as he untied the ropes. The body came down. The soldiers awkwardly and hastily dragged him behind the post and began to push him into the pit.
Everyone, obviously, undoubtedly knew that they were criminals who needed to quickly hide the traces of their crime.
Pierre looked into the hole and saw that the factory worker was lying there with his knees up, close to his head, one shoulder higher than the other. And this shoulder convulsively, evenly fell and rose. But shovels of earth were already falling all over my body. One of the soldiers angrily, viciously and painfully shouted at Pierre to come back. But Pierre did not understand him and stood at the post, and no one drove him away.
When the pit was already completely filled up, a command was heard. Pierre was taken to his place, and the French troops, standing in front on both sides of the pillar, made a half turn and began to walk past the pillar at measured steps. Twenty-four riflemen with unloaded guns, standing in the middle of the circle, ran to their places while the companies passed by them.
Pierre now looked with meaningless eyes at these shooters, who ran out of the circle in pairs. All but one joined the companies. A young soldier with a deathly pale face, in a shako that had fallen back, having lowered his gun, was still standing opposite the pit in the place from which he had fired. He staggered like a drunk, taking several steps forward and backward to support his falling body. An old soldier, a non-commissioned officer, ran out of the ranks and, grabbing the young soldier by the shoulder, dragged him into the company. The crowd of Russians and French began to disperse. Everyone walked in silence, with their heads bowed.
“Ca leur apprendra a incendier, [This will teach them to set fire.],” said one of the French. Pierre looked back at the speaker and saw that it was a soldier who wanted to console himself with something about what had been done, but could not. Without finishing what he started, he waved his hand and walked away.

After the execution, Pierre was separated from the other defendants and left alone in a small, ruined and polluted church.
Before evening, a guard non-commissioned officer with two soldiers entered the church and announced to Pierre that he had been forgiven and was now entering the barracks of prisoners of war. Not understanding what they told him, Pierre got up and went with the soldiers. He was led to booths built at the top of a field of charred boards, logs and planks and led into one of them. There are twenty people in the dark different people Pierre was surrounded. Pierre looked at them, not understanding who these people were, why they were and what they wanted from him. He heard the words that were spoken to him, but did not draw any conclusion or application from them: he did not understand their meaning. He himself answered what was asked of him, but did not realize who was listening to him and how his answers would be understood. He looked at the faces and figures, and they all seemed equally meaningless to him.
From the moment Pierre saw this terrible murder committed by people who did not want to do it, it was as if the spring on which everything was held and seemed alive was suddenly pulled out in his soul, and everything fell into a heap of meaningless rubbish. In him, although he was not aware of it, faith in the good order of the world, in humanity, in his soul, and in God was destroyed. Pierre had experienced this state before, but never with such force as now. Previously, when such doubts were found on Pierre, these doubts had their source in his own guilt. And in the very depths of his soul Pierre then felt that from that despair and those doubts there was salvation in himself. But now he felt that it was not his fault that the world had collapsed in his eyes and that only meaningless ruins remained. He felt that returning to faith in life was not in his power.
People stood around him in the darkness: it was true that something really interested them in him. They told him something, asked him about something, then took him somewhere, and he finally found himself in the corner of the booth next to some people, talking from different sides, laughing.
“And here, my brothers... is the same prince who (with special emphasis on the word which)...” said someone’s voice in the opposite corner of the booth.
Sitting silently and motionless against the wall on the straw, Pierre first opened and then closed his eyes. But as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw before him the same terrible, especially terrible in its simplicity, face of the factory worker and even more terrible in its anxiety faces of unwitting killers. And he again opened his eyes and looked senselessly in the darkness around him.
Sitting next to him, bent over, was some small man, whose presence Pierre noticed at first by the strong smell of sweat that separated from him with every movement. This man was doing something in the dark with his legs, and, despite the fact that Pierre could not see his face, he felt that this man was constantly looking at him. Looking closely in the darkness, Pierre realized that this man had taken off his shoes. And the way he did it interested Pierre.
Unwinding the twine with which one leg was tied, he carefully rolled up the twine and immediately began working on the other leg, looking at Pierre. While one hand was hanging the twine, the other was already beginning to unwind the other leg. Thus, carefully, with round, spore-like movements, without slowing down one after another, taking off his shoes, the man hung his shoes on pegs driven over his heads, took out a knife, cut something, folded the knife, put it under the head of the head and, sitting down better, hugged raised his knees with both hands and stared directly at Pierre. Pierre felt something pleasant, soothing and round in these controversial movements, in this comfortable household in his corner, in the smell even of this man, and he looked at him without taking his eyes off.
“Did you see a lot of need, master?” A? - the little man suddenly said. And there was such an expression of affection and simplicity in the man’s melodious voice that Pierre wanted to answer, but his jaw trembled and he felt tears. The little man at that very second, not giving Pierre time to show his embarrassment, spoke in the same pleasant voice.
“Eh, falcon, don’t bother,” he said with that tenderly melodious caress with which old Russian women speak. - Don’t worry, my friend: endure for an hour, but live for a century! That's it, my dear. And we live here, thank God, there is no resentment. There are also good and bad people,” he said, and while still speaking, with a flexible movement he bent over to his knees, stood up and, clearing his throat, went somewhere.
- Look, you rascal, she’s come! - Pierre heard the same gentle voice at the end of the booth. - The rogue has come, she remembers! Well, well, you will. - And the soldier, pushing away the little dog that was jumping towards him, returned to his place and sat down. In his hands he had something wrapped in a rag.
“Here, eat, master,” he said, again returning to his former respectful tone and unwrapping and handing Pierre several baked potatoes. - There was stew at lunch. And the potatoes are important!
Pierre had not eaten all day, and the smell of potatoes seemed unusually pleasant to him. He thanked the soldier and began to eat.
- Well, is that so? – the soldier said smiling and took one of the potatoes. - And that’s how you are. - He took out a folding knife again, cut the potatoes into equal two halves in his palm, sprinkled salt from a rag and brought it to Pierre.
“The potatoes are important,” he repeated. - You eat it like this.
It seemed to Pierre that he had never eaten a dish tastier than this.
“No, I don’t care,” said Pierre, “but why did they shoot these unfortunate people!” Last years twenty.
“Tch, tsk...” said the little man. “This is a sin, this is a sin...” he quickly added, and, as if his words were always ready in his mouth and accidentally flew out of him, he continued: “What is it, master, that you stayed in Moscow like that?”
“I didn’t think they would come so soon.” “I accidentally stayed,” said Pierre.
- How did they take you, falcon, from your house?
- No, I went to the fire, and then they grabbed me and tried me for an arsonist.
“Where there is court, there is no truth,” the little man interjected.
- How long have you been here? – asked Pierre, chewing the last potato.
- Is that me? That Sunday they took me from the hospital in Moscow.
-Who are you, soldier?
- Soldiers of the Absheron Regiment. He was dying of fever. They didn't tell us anything. About twenty of us were lying there. And they didn’t think, they didn’t guess.
- Well, are you bored here? asked Pierre.
- It’s not boring, falcon. Call me Plato; “Karataev’s nickname,” he added, apparently in order to make it easier for Pierre to address him. - They called him Falcon in the service. How not to get bored, falcon! Moscow, she is the mother of cities. How not to get bored looking at this. Yes, the worm gnaws at the cabbage, but before that you disappear: that’s what the old men used to say,” he added quickly.
- How, how did you say that? asked Pierre.
- Is that me? – asked Karataev. “I say: not by our mind, but by God’s judgment,” he said, thinking that he was repeating what had been said. And he immediately continued: “How come you, master, have estates?” And there is a house? Therefore, the cup is full! And is there a hostess? Are your old parents still alive? - he asked, and although Pierre could not see in the darkness, he felt that the soldier’s lips were wrinkled with a restrained smile of affection while he was asking this. He was apparently upset that Pierre did not have parents, especially a mother.
“A wife is for advice, a mother-in-law is for greetings, and nothing is dearer than your own mother!” - he said. - Well, are there any children? – he continued to ask. Pierre's negative answer again apparently upset him, and he hastened to add: “Well, there will be young people, God willing.” If only I could live in the council...
“It doesn’t matter now,” Pierre said involuntarily.
“Eh, you’re a dear man,” Plato objected. - Never give up money or prison. “He sat down better and cleared his throat, apparently preparing for a long story. “So, my dear friend, I was still living at home,” he began. “Our patrimony is rich, there is a lot of land, the men live well, and our home, thank God.” The priest himself went out to mow. We lived well. They were real Christians. It happened... - And Platon Karataev told long story about how he went to someone else's grove behind the forest and was caught by the guard, how he was whipped, tried and handed over to the soldiers. “Well, the falcon,” he said, his voice changing with a smile, “they thought grief, but joy!” My brother should go, if it were not for my sin. And the younger brother has five boys himself - and look, I have only one soldier left. There was a girl, and God took care of her even before she became a soldier. I came on leave, I’ll tell you. I see they live better than before. The yard is full of bellies, women are at home, two brothers are at work. Only Mikhailo, the youngest, is at home. Father says: “All children are equal to me: no matter what finger you bite, everything hurts. If only Plato hadn’t been shaved then, Mikhail would have gone.” He called us all - believe me - he put us in front of the image. Mikhailo, he says, come here, bow at his feet, and you, woman, bow, and your grandchildren bow. Got it? speaks. So, my dear friend. Rock is looking for his head. And we judge everything: sometimes it’s not good, sometimes it’s not okay. Our happiness, my friend, is like water in delirium: if you pull it, it swells, but if you pull it out, there’s nothing. So that. - And Plato sat down on his straw.
After being silent for some time, Plato stood up.
- Well, I have tea, do you want to sleep? - he said and quickly began to cross himself, saying:
- Lord Jesus Christ, Nikola the saint, Frola and Lavra, Lord Jesus Christ, Nikola the saint! Frol and Lavra, Lord Jesus Christ - have mercy and save us! - he concluded, bowed to the ground, stood up and, sighing, sat down on his straw. - That's it. “Put it down, God, like a pebble, lift it up like a ball,” he said and lay down, pulling on his greatcoat.
-What prayer were you reading? asked Pierre.
- Ass? - said Plato (he was already falling asleep). - Read what? I prayed to God. Don't you ever pray?
“No, and I pray,” said Pierre. - But what did you say: Frol and Lavra?
“But what about,” Plato quickly answered, “a horse festival.” And we must feel sorry for the livestock,” Karataev said. - Look, the rogue has curled up. She got warm, the son of a bitch,” he said, feeling the dog at his feet, and, turning around again, immediately fell asleep.
Outside, crying and screams could be heard somewhere in the distance, and fire could be seen through the cracks of the booth; but in the booth it was quiet and dark. Pierre did not sleep for a long time and, with open eyes, lay in his place in the darkness, listening to the measured snoring of Plato, who lay next to him, and felt that the previously destroyed world was now being erected in his soul with new beauty, on some new and unshakable foundations.

In the booth into which Pierre entered and in which he stayed for four weeks, there were twenty-three captured soldiers, three officers and two officials.
All of them then appeared to Pierre as if in a fog, but Platon Karataev remained forever in Pierre’s soul as the strongest and dearest memory and personification of everything Russian, kind and round. When the next day, at dawn, Pierre saw his neighbor, the first impression of something round was completely confirmed: the whole figure of Plato in his French overcoat belted with a rope, in a cap and bast shoes, was round, his head was completely round, his back, chest, shoulders, even the hands that he carried, as if always about to hug something, were round; a pleasant smile and large brown gentle eyes were round.
Platon Karataev must have been over fifty years old, judging by his stories about the campaigns in which he participated as a long-time soldier. He himself did not know and could not determine in any way how old he was; but his teeth, bright white and strong, which kept rolling out in their two semicircles when he laughed (which he often did), were all good and intact; There was not a single gray hair in his beard or hair, and his whole body had the appearance of flexibility and, especially, hardness and endurance.
His face, despite the small round wrinkles, had an expression of innocence and youth; his voice was pleasant and melodious. But the main feature of his speech was its spontaneity and argument. He apparently never thought about what he said and what he would say; and because of this, the speed and fidelity of his intonations had a special irresistible persuasiveness.
His physical strength and agility were such during the first time of captivity that it seemed that he did not understand what fatigue and illness were. Every day, in the morning and in the evening, when he lay down, he said: “Lord, lay it down like a pebble, lift it up into a ball”; in the morning, getting up, always shrugging his shoulders in the same way, he said: “I lay down and curled up, got up and shook myself.” And indeed, as soon as he lay down, he immediately fell asleep like a stone, and as soon as he shook himself, he immediately, without a second of delay, took up some task, like children, getting up, taking up their toys. He knew how to do everything, not very well, but not badly either. He baked, steamed, sewed, planed, and made boots. He was always busy and only at night allowed himself conversations, which he loved, and songs. He sang songs, not as songwriters sing, who know that they are being listened to, but he sang like birds sing, obviously because he needed to make these sounds just as it is necessary to stretch or disperse; and these sounds were always subtle, gentle, almost feminine, mournful, and at the same time his face was very serious.

Flag of the Western Military District

The Order of Lenin, which was awarded to the Leningrad Military District, was transferred to the Western Military District.

Story

The Western Military District (WMD) was formed during the military reform of 2008-2010 on the basis of two military districts - the Order of Lenin of Moscow and the Order of Lenin of Leningrad. Initially, the Western Military District included the Red Banner Northern and twice Red Banner Baltic fleets and the 1st Leningrad Red Banner Air Force and Air Defense Command.

Currently, the troops and forces of the Western Military District are deployed within the administrative boundaries of three federal districts (Northwestern, Central and part of the Volga region) on the territory of the following constituent entities of the Russian Federation: Republic of Karelia, Belgorod, Bryansk, Vladimir, Vologda, Voronezh, Ivanovo, Kaliningrad, Kaluga, Kostroma, Kursk, Leningrad, Lipetsk, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Novgorod, Orel, Pskov, Ryazan, Smolensk, Tambov, Tver, Tula, Yaroslavl region, Moscow, St. Petersburg.

The Western Military District is the very first district formed in the new system of military-administrative division of the Russian Federation.

In December 2014, the Red Banner Northern Fleet was withdrawn from the Western Military District in connection with the creation of the United Strategic Command “North” on its basis.

In connection with the increase in NATO's military presence in Eastern Europe, the situation in Ukraine and the activities of international terrorist groups, in 2016 the headquarters of the 1st Guards Tank Red Banner Army was again deployed as part of the Western Military District. The formation of the 144th Guards Motorized Rifle Division with headquarters in Yelnya has begun, the deployment of the 1st Separate Guards Tank Brigade with headquarters in Boguchar, the 3rd Motorized Rifle Division is also being formed on the basis of the 9th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade and the 23rd Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade in area of ​​the city of Valuyki.
