Recently, the famous Russian artist and composer Yuri Loza has already spoken about the newly minted General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia Irina Volk. And now, it seems, I have returned to the topic of dissatisfaction with young women in general's uniform. However, in a slightly different way.
Loza believes that a young woman can only be promoted to the general's epaulettes in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but there are no such options in the army. However, practice shows the opposite. As an example, he cites the press Secretary of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Daria Zatulina, who in 2014 received the rank of general and the position of Full State Adviser of the Russian Federation, Class III. It is worth noting that at the time of receiving the rank of Major General, she was only 27 years old.

In turn, she herselfDaria Zatulina in the Telegram channel "Smart Morning Coffee" explained to the performer of the Russian version of" Boat on The River " Yuri Loza, "how it happened" - about his rank and service:
Interestingly, since 2012, the topic of introducing a civilian equivalent of military uniforms for civil servants of the Ministry of Defense does not give anyone peace. So yesterday, apparently, under the primaries, in which Konstantin Zatulin participates (I have nothing more to connect this with, even the photo is not mine, but the current press secretary of the department), a talented performer of the Russian version of the song "Boat on The River" was surprised at the rank I received at 27 years old. After so many discussions, you can only confuse the civilian shoulder strap and the military one intentionally, but for all the time of my work as the press secretary of the Minister of Defense, I happened to wear a uniform only with a "clean" shoulder strap, it just so happened (a competent journalist will find photos). I was awarded the rank in 2014-State Councilor of the 3rd class, which corresponds to the position of the head of the department, which I was, and allows me to apply for this position in other departments. It does not bear any financial bonuses or surcharges. I have never commented on these statements, but after so many years, the topic has resurfaced in order to prick my father. The endless discussion of beautiful ladies from various departments smacks of disgusting chauvinism or working off a dirty "order". Why don't you give an example of a country where the Minister of Defense is a woman? In my young years, I do not dare to teach and instruct anyone, but I am sure that attacking (even verbally) the fair sex is definitely not the methods of a real man and an officer!
If you have any questions, please contact me, you can find me in social networks under my last name.
On the part of the bmpd, we note that, based on our professional impressions and experience of the interaction of the AST Center with the Ministry of Defense, Daria Zatulina, without a doubt, was the best press secretary of the Russian military department since its formation in March 1992.
