Russia remains huge nuclear power, it has regional and strategic, economic and political interests which will inevitably conflict with the interests of states Western Europe, USA and other countries. Russia cannot make a sharp leap from perceiving the West as a source absolute evil to its perception as a source of absolute good: both are unacceptable for a great power. Both Russia and the West have yet to define their interests and the contradictions that separate them. The Armed Forces of Russia are an important structure of the state, designed to protect its interests from attacks from the outside, as well as from attempts to destroy it from within. The organization of military development and the leadership of troops are aimed at maintaining peace and strengthening the independence of Russia. The state of the Armed Forces and their combat effectiveness depend on the economic and spiritual state of the state. A state that does not care about its army ultimately ceases to be independent. There have been many difficult periods in the history of our country, but no matter how difficult it was for the state, it never stopped taking care of its Armed Forces. Russian military historian Anton Antonovich Kersnovsky (died in June 1944 at the age of 37 in Paris, in poverty, from consumption; wrote the 4-volume “History of the Russian Army,” which was a bibliographic rarity in our country until 1996) notes, that “in their gigantic thousand-year work, the creators of Russia relied on three great foundations - spiritual power Orthodox Church, the creative genius of the Russian People and the valor of the Russian Army." It would be nice for our state to be guided by these glorious traditions today, not in words, but in deeds. Control questions:

This activity is carried out by special military bodies united within the system of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The activities of these bodies are an integral part of the exercise of federal executive power.

    – governing bodies of associations, military formations and units;

    – military commissariats (local military authorities);

    IN structure of the central apparatus of the Ministry of Defense The Russian Federation includes a number of main and central departments in charge of certain functions and subordinate to certain Deputy Ministers of Defense or directly to the Minister of Defense. In addition, the central bodies of the RF Ministry of Defense include the departments of the commanders-in-chief of the branches of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Structurally, the directorate of the commander-in-chief of the branch of the RF Armed Forces consists of the Command, the General Staff, main directorates, directorates, and departments. At the head of the branch of the Armed Forces, the Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the branch is the Commander-in-Chief.

    Management structure of a separate military unit and the main responsibilities of its officials are determined by the Charter of the Internal Service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

    Each military command and control body functions in accordance with the competence defined for it within the limits of the powers granted to it, with strict and unswerving observance and execution of laws and other legal acts based on them.

    Executive branch carried out by the military bodies of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, acts both on the basis general principles executive power, as well as specific ones, the most important of which are the principles of consistent centralization, unity of command and strict discipline.

The essence of unity of command is to vest the commander (chief) with full administrative power in relation to his subordinates and to assign personal responsibility to him for all aspects of the life and activities of a military unit, unit and each serviceman.

The norms of military legislation and the Charter of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation specifically define the duties and rights of the relevant commanders (chiefs) and endow them with the necessary state powers.
