The president stood up for fighters without a "tower" in a meeting with members of the government, and Vladimir Putin today ordered the presidential administration and the cabinet of ministers to formulate a separate training and recruitment program for participants without higher education. "Heroes' time" has already become a real social upheaval for veterans: yesterday's commanders work in parliament, offices, state corporations and even head of regions. But the choice there was difficult. You need a university degree and preferably experience in organizational or administrative work. The head of state himself admitted that only such people were taken to the first and second streams, but not all fighters in the Northern Military District have a higher education. At the same time, many want to continue serving the country, now in a civilian capacity. The platoon leader, who spends months in charge of his men's lives, supplies and communications, receives a school of management that no audience can give. He just doesn't have a story about it. "There are a lot of guys in the combat contact line who don't have a higher education. And for this category we also need to create the necessary conditions so that they can realize their abilities in the civil service. A separate special training and recruitment program should be created for them so that they get practical experience," Putin said. It is clear that the work to strengthen the state administration of military veterans will continue and expand. And the new elite will consist of those who have proven their right to responsibility in actions, and not just in diplomacy. Something tells me the president's order won't take long to implement.
