Who does not like General Shamanov with his soldierly frankness

General Shamanov does not arouse sympathy among human rights activists. During the military operations in Bamut, Karamakhi, Chabanmakhi, Urus-Martan and Achkhoy-Martan districts, in general, wherever he led the military actions to suppress the resistance of armed separatists, numerous human rights violations were noted .

The US Department of State also does not like this commander. General Shamanov met once with President Bush, but it happened, as it turned out later, by oversight. The reason for the visit to America was justified, the Russian delegation tried to clarify the fate of the soldiers (still Soviet) who were captured during the Afghan war. The American general, who made such an undesirable meeting, paid a price for his oversight. According to officials of the State Department, with such an odious personality to greet the president of the world's most democratic in the world somehow not with the hand.

Wars are not begun by generals, but the army has to fight. During the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, General Shamanov participated in military operations on the side of Azerbaijan. Not on his own initiative, of course, he carried out the order.

The story of Colonel Budanov, who killed an apparently innocent Chechen sniper-girl, once again confirmed that General Shamanov (using the expression of a Marxist) is "not typical". Apparently, the interrogation was conducted without a lawyer.

As far as it is possible to conduct military operations without violating anyone's rights, it is incomprehensible. Maybe the militants could somehow be persuaded to lay down their arms in an amicable way? Or was it better to capitulate, and let yourself be wahabited to health?

General Shamanov in Chechnya really acted decisively and rigidly, one might say, in the Yermolovo way. He is clearly not a diplomat. Well, this is the profession ... It would be better if this war was not.

Everything would be understandable if this "warrior soldier" did not like only the champions of the bright ideals of democracy. The integrity of the picture is disturbed by the fact that he too did not like the Minister Serdyukov.

The reason for the disgrace was the resistance the airborne general Shamanov provided to actively pursued military reform, which is not popular among professional officers. In the absence of the chief (he was on a well-deserved vacation, on vacation), he cunningly penetrated to the very President of the Russian Federation and enlisted his support. And he retained the troops with which he commanded, saved the Airborne Troops from Seriuyuk's devastation.

The reaction to the impudence did not take long. In the press there were compromising materials, demonstrating to the public the whole aggressive nature of the disgraced general. He is ready to send paratroopers into battle to rescue his son-in-law (former) and beat him off from prosecutors. That's so, with whom you pounce, from that and you will be typed.

General Shamanov does not deny the very fact of the recorded telephone conversation, however, notes that he was subjected to a thorough proof, apparently with the aim of strengthening the dramatic effect. In addition, judging a person does not follow the words spoken in the fuse, but according to his actions. However, the punishment to which he was subjected, the general considers quite just.
