Pankov, Nikolai Alexandrovich. Is Cabinet General Pankov a bomb for Minister Shoigu? Scientific degree, academic title

He helped the Minister of Defense Serdyukov steal and received a fabulous bonus for this, and in addition several hectares of land in the resort area. Nikolai Pankov was destroying the Russian army - and, trying to save himself, he blamed the destruction of army personnel and military education on his subordinates, whom he handed over like glass containers.
Nikolay Pankov’s place is on the bunk. In the warm company of the leaders of Oboronservis and others like Pankov, thieves.

This story is about theft and corruption, in which Nikolai Pankov succeeded, alas, much more than in matters useful for the country.

Beyond kleptomania?

The investigation may have questions for Secretary of State - Deputy Minister of Defense Nikolai Pankov. Rare cars, trophy sculptures, a mansion with a yacht club in Anapa under the guise of a radar station...

Beyond kleptomania? Lovers of beauty from the Ministry of Defense. Details of the “work” of the criminal connection Serdyukov-Pankov. The scandal in the Ministry of Defense after the resignation of Anatoly Serdyukov not only does not subside, but, on the contrary, continues to gain momentum.
The scandal in the Ministry of Defense after the resignation of Anatoly Serdyukov not only does not subside, but, on the contrary, continues to gain momentum. More and more new facts are emerging indicating that a bunch of thieving officials have turned the defense department into their fiefdom and transferred considerable state assets into their private property. In this regard, the figure of Secretary of State - Deputy Minister Nikolai Pankov, who directly carried out the theft of state property - in the interests of the minister, and in his own, of course, too, is emerging more and more from the shadows.

Domestic officials are known to love expensive foreign cars. But what is an ordinary “expensive foreign car”? Just a rather expensive car, which is produced in tens of thousands of copies. The leadership of the Ministry of Defense has surpassed everyone here. Just expensive cars are not enough for them - they need unique, rare cars that were once used by historical figures - cars that “no one else has.” This is real chic! And the cost of such cars is no longer calculated in hundreds of thousands, but in millions of dollars.

There was a Museum of Military Automotive Equipment in the Ministry of Defense, located in Ryazan. It was - because by order of Serdyukov in 2010 it was disbanded. The collection of this museum included the most unique cars - a limousine-convertible ZIL-111, in which Yuri Gagarin drove from the airfield to Red Square, where he reported to the country's leadership about the first successful human flight into space. ZIS-110 of the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Nikita Khrushchev. ZIL-117, which Cuban leader Fidel Castro drove during his visits to the Soviet Union. The very first “Russian Jeep” GAZ-67. And many other machines, including experimental models that exist in single copies. According to the most conservative estimates, this collection was worth many tens of millions of dollars.

A lot of “interesting” things were on the balance sheet of the Ministry of Defense. When Serdyukov was appointed minister, he, of course, did not know much. However, I found out quite quickly - including from my Secretary of State Nikolai Pankov. It was Pankov, who saw through the boss’s love for expensive toys and anticipated generous commissions for tips, who told Serdyukov about the Ryazan museum. Serdyukov became so interested that he ordered the preparation of a photo album from which he could get acquainted with rare cars. Pankov immediately did his best for the boss, and soon not one, but three albums were lying on the minister’s desk. Serdyukov really liked the cars, and now he is already visiting the Ryazan museum, where he admires the rarities. If only the museum workers knew then how the minister’s delight would end...

It’s so simple, it’s clear, it’s impossible to take away the cars - all this needs to be given the appearance of legality. And then Pankov proposed to the boss, and then implemented a cunning scheme. First, the museum's status was changed - from an independent museum it turned into just a historical and memorial hall, part of the Museum of the History of the Airborne Forces. Well, in this status, having such a car collection seems to be “out of rank” for him. And then an order appears to transfer the auto exposition to Moscow, to a special garage of the Ministry of Defense - to the 147th motor depot. All the most interesting exhibits, 63 in number, were transported there. First - there. Some of them are still there. But, as law enforcement agencies suspect, this is not all. Where they went later is what the security forces are currently trying to determine.

Unique cars, of course, were not the only “beautiful” thing that the Ministry of Defense had. There is a House of Officers in Rostov-on-Don. And there were—they were, because in 2010 Serdyukov and Pankov “moved in” there, after which they were gone—two bronze deer. Trophies from Germany! Examples of Nazi art. The historical value is certainly colossal. And the market price is quite large - such things go like bullets at auctions for amounts with many zeros. “Lover of beauty” Serdyukov immediately “set his eye” on them. Well, he told Pankov that he really liked them. And he again hastened to do his best for his boss, who was generous with his helpful servants, especially with his accomplices.

Pankov personally ordered the antique bronze statues of deer to be sent to Moscow and supervised the shipment. On the Internet, people who have seen deer in the Officers' House since childhood are still outraged by this brazen theft and knew that these were war trophies, paid for with the blood of their grandfathers. But the Serdyukovs and punks, of course, are not interested in the opinion of the “smerds”. After Pankov personally shipped the antique deer statues to Moscow, they were never seen again in Rostov-on-Don. Where are they now - again, hopefully, we will find out from the investigation.

And how beautiful the nature is in the Krasnodar region, especially on the seashore! Serdyukov wanted to have a “dacha” there. And now the faithful Pankov is already flying to Anapa, where he persuades the deputies of the city assembly to allocate a plot of land “for the needs of the Ministry of Defense.” They say that a radar station will be built there, without which the country’s defense capability will simply be non-existent. And Pankov knows how to convince - well, a plot of land at the address Krasnodar region, Bolshoi Utrish village, Naberezhnaya street, 1a was allocated for the benefit of the Motherland. And then Pankov organized a very large-scale construction there. Only his “radar” turned out to be truly unique - NATO has never seen anything like it before, so it’s time to include a new name in their classification. Any adversary, when looking at Pankov's radar, sees only a residential building with an area of 600 square meters, a boathouse for yachts and much more that is familiar from Hollywood films about luxurious life. In general, the “radar station” turned out to be excellent - without radars, but ideal for recreation at the level of Arab sheikhs.

True, not only NATO intelligence services, but also Russian journalists, and even investigators, could not find signs of a radar station at the object obtained by Pankov from the deputies in the wake of patriotic speeches. That’s why the media called this “Pankov’s radar station” as it is - “Serdyukov’s dacha.” As a dacha, it is magnificent. Of course, this is a nature reserve where a relict juniper forest grows. Not nature - a fairy tale!

But Pankov “forgot” that in such places the law allows the construction of only temporary buildings. And I miraculously “forgot” about the radar itself. Moreover, I forgot so much that even on the gate of this property there is no sign that the object belongs to the Ministry of Defense. Pankov will probably tell you that these are secrecy requirements and another line of defense for the country.

But for all his “forgetfulness,” Pankov remembered well the minister’s tastes. Serdyukov, as usual, highly appreciated the efforts of his accomplice - and Pankov, after he obtained land for the minister from deputies by deception, several hectares of land appeared in Pankov’s property not far from the “radar station with yachts.” You deserve it!

These are just some of the episodes whose information has been leaked onto the Internet. The investigation is moving forward, and the indignant public is revealing more and more facts of unscrupulous theft in the army. All these years they were silent, irritation kept accumulating - and now, as they say, “the patience is over.” After all, people are not blind... One can only sympathize with the investigation - such “Augean stables” have accumulated that they need to be raked and raked. A whole 5 years of unpunished (for now!) theft.

However, the “Augean stables” will have to be cleared not only by the investigation, but also by the newly appointed Minister Shoigu. For many years, the chief army personnel officer - State Secretary Pankov, who perfectly understands that “personnel decide everything” - arranged them in such a way as to have people loyal to himself - and to Serdyukov, of course - in key positions. Ready to carry out any of his instructions - but the fact that purely army issues, including the key issue of military reform, faded into the background, did not particularly bother him. As a result of this personnel policy, the army found itself in a state close to collapse...

This is exactly the “legacy” that Shoigu received. But how he will clear it is still unclear. After all, Pankov continues to “sit on the staff” and thus can derail any initiative of the new minister. And if you consider that Pankov now faces a very difficult task to “get away with it” himself - to try to hide his role in Anatoly Serdyukov’s “craving for beauty” and what, as a result of his activities, stuck to his own hands...

Of course, Shoigu has already appointed - or achieved the appointment - of new personnel to the most important positions, who, we hope, will put all their efforts into establishing order. Only their subordinates are Pankov’s cadres, who are devoted to him personally, and not to the new bosses. Accustomed – and even able – to implement the corruption schemes of the previous leadership. And how Shoigu will get rid of them in order to create a truly combat-ready army and at the same time suppress corruption, while Pankov is still in command of the cadres - this is perhaps the key question to which there is no answer yet. Experts believe that Shoigu simply has not yet found a replacement for Pankov. However, they also say that if Shoigu hesitates, the metastases of the punk cadres will simply kill all the undertakings of the new team - fortunately, performing this technically is not a problem for General Nikolai Pankov. Even if his kleptomania is covered up by the “interests of the Motherland,” then in personnel matters he will not leave Shoigu any chance - he will simply drain his initiatives into the sewer, with his usual affectionate smile.

An excerpt characterizing Pankov, Nikolai Alexandrovich

Kutuzov's face suddenly softened, and tears appeared in his eyes. He pulled Bagration to him with his left hand, and with his right hand, on which there was a ring, apparently crossed him with a familiar gesture and offered him a plump cheek, instead of which Bagration kissed him on the neck.
- Christ is with you! – Kutuzov repeated and walked up to the carriage. “Sit down with me,” he said to Bolkonsky.
– Your Excellency, I would like to be useful here. Let me stay in the detachment of Prince Bagration.
“Sit down,” said Kutuzov and, noticing that Bolkonsky was hesitating, “I need good officers myself, I need them myself.”
They got into the carriage and drove in silence for several minutes.
“There is still a lot ahead, there will be a lot of things,” he said with an senile expression of insight, as if he understood everything that was happening in Bolkonsky’s soul. “If one tenth of his detachment comes tomorrow, I will thank God,” added Kutuzov, as if speaking to himself.
Prince Andrei looked at Kutuzov, and he involuntarily caught his eye, half an arshin away from him, the cleanly washed assemblies of the scar on Kutuzov’s temple, where the Izmail bullet pierced his head, and his leaking eye. “Yes, he has the right to talk so calmly about the death of these people!” thought Bolkonsky.
“That’s why I ask you to send me to this detachment,” he said.
Kutuzov did not answer. He seemed to have already forgotten what had been said to him and sat thoughtfully. Five minutes later, smoothly rocking on the soft springs of the stroller, Kutuzov turned to Prince Andrei. There was no trace of excitement on his face. With subtle mockery, he asked Prince Andrei about the details of his meeting with the emperor, about the reviews he had heard at court about the Kremlin affair, and about some common women he knew.

Kutuzov, through his spy, received news on November 1 that put the army he commanded in an almost hopeless situation. The scout reported that the French in huge numbers, having crossed the Vienna bridge, headed towards Kutuzov’s route of communication with the troops coming from Russia. If Kutuzov had decided to remain in Krems, then Napoleon’s army of one and a half hundred thousand would have cut him off from all communications, surrounded his exhausted army of forty thousand, and he would have been in Mack’s position near Ulm. If Kutuzov had decided to leave the road that led to communications with troops from Russia, then he would have had to enter without a road into the unknown lands of the Bohemian
mountains, defending themselves from superior enemy forces, and abandoning all hope of communication with Buxhoeveden. If Kutuzov had decided to retreat along the road from Krems to Olmutz to join forces with troops from Russia, then he risked being warned on this road by the French who had crossed the bridge in Vienna, and thus being forced to accept battle on the march, with all the burdens and convoys, and dealing with an enemy three times his size and surrounding him on both sides.
Kutuzov chose this last exit.
The French, as the spy reported, having crossed the bridge in Vienna, were marching in an intensified march towards Znaim, which lay on Kutuzov’s retreat route, more than a hundred miles ahead of him. To reach Znaim before the French meant to have great hope of saving the army; to allow the French to warn themselves in Znaim would probably mean exposing the entire army to a disgrace similar to that of Ulm, or to general destruction. But it was impossible to warn the French with their entire army. The French road from Vienna to Znaim was shorter and better than the Russian road from Krems to Znaim.
On the night of receiving the news, Kutuzov sent Bagration’s four-thousand-strong vanguard to the right over the mountains from the Kremlin-Znaim road to the Vienna-Znaim road. Bagration had to go through this transition without rest, stop facing Vienna and back to Znaim, and if he managed to warn the French, he had to delay them as long as he could. Kutuzov himself, with all his hardships, set out for Znaim.
Having walked with hungry, barefoot soldiers, without a road, through the mountains, on a stormy night forty-five miles, having lost a third part of the stragglers, Bagration went to Gollabrun on the Vienna Znaim road several hours before the French approached Gollabrun from Vienna. Kutuzov had to walk another whole day with his convoys to reach Znaim, and therefore, in order to save the army, Bagration, with four thousand hungry, exhausted soldiers, had to hold off for a day the entire enemy army that met him in Gollabrun, which was obvious , impossible. But a strange fate made the impossible possible. The success of that deception, which gave the Vienna bridge into the hands of the French without a fight, prompted Murat to try to deceive Kutuzov in the same way. Murat, having met Bagration’s weak detachment on the Tsnaim road, thought that it was the entire army of Kutuzov. In order to undoubtedly crush this army, he waited for the troops that had fallen behind on the road from Vienna and for this purpose proposed a truce for three days, with the condition that both troops would not change their positions and would not move. Murat insisted that negotiations for peace were already underway and that, therefore, avoiding useless shedding of blood, he was offering a truce. The Austrian general Count Nostitz, who was stationed at the outposts, believed the words of the envoy Murat and retreated, revealing Bagration's detachment. Another envoy went to the Russian chain to announce the same news about peace negotiations and offer a truce to the Russian troops for three days. Bagration replied that he could not accept or not accept a truce, and with a report of the proposal made to him, he sent his adjutant to Kutuzov.
The truce for Kutuzov was the only way to gain time, give Bagration’s exhausted detachment a rest and allow convoys and loads to pass through (the movement of which was hidden from the French), although there was one extra march to Znaim. The offer of a truce provided the only and unexpected opportunity to save the army. Having received this news, Kutuzov immediately sent Adjutant General Wintzingerode, who was with him, to the enemy camp. Winzengerode had to not only accept the truce, but also offer terms of surrender, and meanwhile Kutuzov sent his adjutants back to hurry as much as possible the movement of the convoys of the entire army along the Kremlin-Znaim road. The exhausted, hungry detachment of Bagration alone had to, covering this movement of the convoys and the entire army, remain motionless in front of an enemy eight times stronger.
Kutuzov's expectations came true both regarding the fact that the non-binding offers of surrender could give time for some of the convoys to pass through, and regarding the fact that Murat's mistake was to be revealed very soon. As soon as Bonaparte, who was in Schönbrunn, 25 versts from Gollabrun, received Murat’s report and the draft truce and capitulation, he saw the deception and wrote the following letter to Murat:
Au prince Murat. Schoenbrunn, 25 brumaire en 1805 a huit heures du matin.
“II m"est impossible de trouver des termes pour vous exprimer mon mecontentement. Vous ne commandez que mon avant garde et vous n"avez pas le droit de faire d"armistice sans mon ordre. Vous me faites perdre le fruit d"une campagne . Rompez l"armistice sur le champ et Mariechez a l"ennemi. Vous lui ferez declarer, que le general qui a signe cette capitulation, n"avait pas le droit de le faire, qu"il n"y a que l"Empereur de Russie qui ait ce droit.
“Toutes les fois cependant que l"Empereur de Russie ratifierait la dite convention, je la ratifierai; mais ce n"est qu"une ruse. Mariechez, detruisez l"armee russe... vous etes en position de prendre son bagage et son artiller.
"L"aide de camp de l"Empereur de Russie est un... Les officiers ne sont rien quand ils n"ont pas de pouvoirs: celui ci n"en avait point... Les Autrichiens se sont laisse jouer pour le passage du pont de Vienne , vous vous laissez jouer par un aide de camp de l"Empereur. Napoleon."
