  Sergei Ivanov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sergei Borisovich Ivanov (Сергей Борисович Иванов in Russian) (born January 31, 1953, Leningrad) is the Defense Minister of Russia.
Ivanov insists on increasing the draft of students and, hence, on reducing the number of military departments in the universities.
Ivanov remains a close political ally of Putin, and according to a 2001 article published by The Guardian, he is "increasingly seen as the unofficial and unelected vice-president".

 MILITARY DOCTRINE OR ELECTION MANIFESTO
Ivanov’s Defense Ministry aides, advisers and officials seemed to have done their utmost to break free of Soviet traditions and produce some modern P.R. material that would capture the imagination of journalists, promote the "doctrine" and, with it, Ivanov.
Ivanov’s "doctrine" has a wordy official name: "The actual objectives (or goals, or tasks) of the development of the armed forces of the Russian Federation." It’s important to note that in Russian the word "actual" (‘actualni’) predominantly means urgent and meaningful at the same time.
Ivanov also told Babayeva that in October 2003 Putin gave the General Staff six months to come up with revised plans on combat usage (deployment) and the development of the armed forces.

 SERGEI IVANOV CHALLENGES THE NEW POLITICAL GENERATION - Eurasia Daily Monitor
Ivanov did not suggest any help from Russia in sorting out the Afghan problems but stated that there was no need for any international investigation of the "events" in Andijan, since those were organized from terrorist bases in Afghanistan.
Where Ivanov has a point is that the present-day system is useless in providing any military training and none of the "civilian lieutenants" has a clue about the real-life burdens and hardships of the service.
Ivanov would never be able to convince them that the situation in the ranks is steadily improving, so that from January to May 2005 "only" 376 servicemen died in non-combat situations, including 99 suicides (newsru.com, June 6).
