About Anatoly Serdyukov

Anatoly Eduardovich Serdyukov (Russian: Анатолий Эдуардович Сердюков; born 8 January 1962) is a Russian politician and businessman. He was Russia's Minister of Defense from 15 February 2007 to 6 November 2012, and made several major reforms in the Russian military. He has worked as an Industrial Director for Rostec, a state corporation, since October 2015. Apparently, bringing this under control was the first and most important reason why Serdyukov was considered and appointed as Minister of Defence. Most of them failed and hence created a storm in the Russian media. Discovered and seized from the apartment were more than three million rubles, nearly $747,000 worth of diamonds, several dozen paintings, pearls, and other jewelry, amongst other things.
