General Shemyakin, his air career and earthly estate

During the North Ossetian conflict in 2008 General Shemyakin, in carrying out their duties, should guide the actions of transport aircraft. Judging by the results of the military operation, he did this well, problems with the delivery of military loads were noted. He was even presented the order «For merit» grade IV, but the then chief of the air force Zelin inexplicably refused to award.

A soldier it does not matter, though unpleasant. But are military people home country, not for reward, besides the transport aircraft is not attack aircraft or bombers, to enemy fire during the August war, as far as we know, did not fall, and over hostile territory not fly. So, perhaps, such a routine work, which was led by General Shemyakin, and did not fall under the definition of a feat, although he himself had to sit at the helm of the heavy Il-76.

He was not the first time, and if they had to risk, he would fulfill his duty, no doubt about it. Participation in military conflicts is much more tension to bail. And military awards.

In 2013 the outbreak of the scandal involving fraud in the distribution of property, which was General Valery Shemyakin. The news about the fake documents provided to the defendants in zhilkomiteta of the Ministry of defence to obtain material aid, flats and land, spread after the trial.

The face of obvious and proven facts General Shemyakin chose a rather unusual line of defense. Their actions, he did not explain, but the very accusation in them, in his opinion, was the cause of his evil. Who? First, the MOD leadership in General and the BBC in particular. The position of Deputy commander in chief, someone liked. And secondly, his courageous actions greatly angered the security services of the defeated enemy, that is Georgian.

What are the actions of a brave defender of the Motherland? He busted a insolent? No, in his own words, he invited the officers to dress in jackets without shoulder straps and continue to command.

And another episode of pressure recalled Valery Shemyakin. The General, frustrated by his refusal to award, takes a hand in a mobile phone, and then, again, with the same accent, unknown person gloating about it. That, they say, as we got you back, you can not see the order!

According to some members of the public, strongly condemning Putin, the sentence Shemyakin is as cynical violence, as the Khodorkovsky case. To refute the arguments of the prosecution nothing remains to hint at the “objectionable to the authorities”.

However, it would be strange if the country's leaders like the generals, eager crook to grab from the native country as much as possible material goods. These generals and should be objectionable.
