Mikhail Komin: Unprecedented Defense Ministry Purge Sparks Concern in Russian Elite

Summary

78% Informative

The biggest source of tension within the Russian elites in 2024 was the purge of the Defense Ministry .

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu was moved to a different post, andseveral dozen officials were detained over the course of many months , including three former deputy defense ministers.

The purge has not only redirected rent flows associated with the ministry, but also led to the dismantling of Shoigsu ’s entire clan within the elite.

The anxiety among the broader elite caused by the Defense Ministry purge has been intensified by the fact that newly available rent flows have been divided up among different elite groups.

Dividing up responsibilities and rent flows among competing elite groups in such a way has never before taken place in a single entity such as Defense Ministry .

The new approach will inevitably lead to increased competition among the elites for rent flows.
