Mr Shoigu has close connections with President Putin, frequently going with him on fishing outings in his local Siberia.

He was given the guard portfolio despite having no tactical foundation, which irritated him with a portion of his top of the food chain.

A structural specialist by calling, Mr. Shoigu rose to unmistakable quality at the top of the crises and calamity help service during the 1990s.

He frequently watched hopelessly lost as safeguard serve, particularly after Russia's full-scale attack on Ukraine over a long time back, BBC Europe investigator Danny Aeberhard says.

Having a financial specialist as a new guard serve mirrors the changing needs of the Kremlin, Steve Rosenberg says. The Russian economy is on a conflict balance now, so it is indispensable that the guard service has sufficient cash to finance the conflict.

Who's in Putin's inward circle and running the conflict?
