Is this the continuation of what appers an ongoing purge by President Vladimir Putin of his top defense ranks?
The Kremlin escalated its crackdown on Russia’s top military ranks, with a new corruption arrest this week.
Russian authorities detained Lieutenant-General Vadim Shamarin, deputy to General Valery Gerasimov, head of the army’s general staff, on suspicion of large-scale bribe-taking, Russian state media reported Thursday.
It is the fourth arrest in the past month of a high-ranking military official, marking the biggest Russian army scandal in years. The detentions come as President Vladimir Putin carries out a sweeping reshuffle of top jobs, including a change at the head of the Ministry of Defense.
