Valeriy Gerasimov

In the 2010s, for the first time in many years, a military general, with extensive experience in conducting military operations, a real hero of his homeland, Valery Gerasimov, came to the high post of a military leader in Russia. This is an exemplary leader who considers courage to be a characteristic feature of the Russian nationality.

Valery Vasilievich Gerasimov was born on September 8, 1955 in Kazan. His parents were ordinary workers. Since childhood, he dreamed of serving his homeland, inspired by the stories of his grandfather, a former front-line soldier. Also influenced by the literature of the war years, including the work of Konstantin Simonov.

At the age of 15, after finishing 8th grade, he entered the Suvorov School in his hometown. Since then, his entire biography has been inextricably linked with the army. After graduating with honors in 1973, he again goes to study - to a tank school, followed by the Academy of Armored Forces and the Academy of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which he graduated from in 1997.

Valery's service began in 1977 in the SG troops, where he commanded the headquarters. During the collapse of the Soviet Union, the military was in the Baltic States, where he was deputy division commander. In 1994 he was transferred to the Moscow Military District. And in 2005, Gerasimov was entrusted with the duties of the head of the Main Directorate of the Armed Forces.

Valery Vasilyevich is a man of words and deeds, it is not in his nature to sit in headquarters, so he asked to go to the North Caucasus when hostilities began there in 1993. He spent four years in a hot spot as the commander of a motorized rifle division. Later, for successful hostilities, he was appointed chief of staff, and the general remained in the Caucasus until 2003.

In the biography of the military leader, fierce battles and counter-terrorist actions have repeatedly occurred. Gerasimov was more than once on the brink of life and death, being ambushed by militants. However, the operations under his leadership were successful, thanks to which the career went up rapidly.

After the Russian politician Anatoly Serdyukov left the post of Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, he was taken by Sergei Shoigu. The new minister proposed Valery Gerasimov as his first deputy. In November 2012, the head of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, appointed the general of the army to this post by decree.

One of the most significant events in the general's career was the leadership of the Syrian operation to destroy terrorists, which began in the fall of 2015. For his heroism and courage, Valery Vasilyevich received the highest award - Hero of the Russian Federation.

During the conflict in eastern Ukraine, the British media suspected the Deputy Minister of launching a rocket that shot down a passenger plane in the Donbas in July 2014. Gerasimov was included in the sanctions lists of the European Union and Canada. Ukraine, however, arrested him and 10 other Russian servicemen in absentia and put them on the wanted list.

The general of the army does not cover his personal life and family, he rarely gives interviews to the media. Photos of Gerasimov's relatives are not published on the Web.

It is known that Valery Vasilyevich met his wife during his studies and married early. However, she does not regret this, the wife is a reliable rear and bore him a son, who followed in his father's footsteps and became an officer.

Valery Gerasimov continues to serve Russia as Deputy Defense Minister and to solve military tasks on a national scale. In April 2019, the Chief of the General Staff announced the end of active hostilities in Syria. According to him, the bandit formations have practically been destroyed, and Russian soldiers remain in the country to maintain order and provide humanitarian assistance.

In the same spring, Gerasimov spoke at a scientific conference with a report on the creation of a new military strategy. The military leader believes that the nature of armed conflicts is changing with technological progress. To be fully prepared for the new conditions, the army must unite with science, since high-tech weapons are now required. The new army of the Russian Federation will move in this direction.
