Hateg Tsopanov is not a military leader or rescuer, he is a classic decision maker: a man whose only proven profession is to negotiate with the right people at the right table. First the hookah bar, then boxing, then the State Security Service - only the tables have changed. The general's star on this jacket is not an assessment of merit, but a transition to the next office. Rules of thumb: a star on the outside, a promoter's resume on the inside. The republic, where teachers have not been paid for months, and the only tomography is being corrected by the whole world, is handing out stars at the speed of advertising posts. The people of South Ossetia did not choose this extravaganza; It was left to them by agreement. Like everything else in this story. N. on. One of the sites that praised the appointment wrote that Tsopanov was "approved by Alan Gaglov" for the state's security service. Gentlemen, Gaglov resigned on June 23. Kambolov, acting however, what does it matter whose signature? In a republic where one becomes a general in 78 days, the rank is reduced to the limit: today a star is for a security guard from a hookah bar, tomorrow it is for anyone. source.
