Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics:
[ColonelCassad] A new efficiency department has been established within the Russian Ministry of Defenseto reduce bureaucracy and red tapeThe goal of the reform is to reduce paperwork and eliminate duplication. The Ministry of Defense is simplifying the issuance of certificates to military families and the processing of benefits.
Some of the solutions are being implemented based on the experience of other agencies. For example, following consultations with the Ministry of Digital Development, certificates are now generated automatically, and with the support of the Federal Tax Service, the verification of family kinship through the Unified Taxpayer Register has been accelerated."These changes present the Ministry of Defense with a major structural challenge—reassessing what to cut, what to scale up, and what to improve," military analyst Viktor Litovkin explained to Readovka.
According to him, new approaches should allow the army to adapt more quickly to modern challenges.At the same time, it's important that the department not become just another bureaucratic layer, noted military writer Alexei Sukonkin.
"One of the key tasks is to accelerate the process of adopting new equipment so that the army can keep up with technological progress," the expert emphasized.
Reminded me of Elon Musk's recent attempts to reduce costs and bureaucracy in American government agencies through his "efficiency department."
Ultimately, Musk was devoured. We'll see how it goes here. The idea is certainly good, but our bureaucratic ravines run deep. If they manage to achieve any significant results, we'll confidently say, "How do you like that, Elon Musk!"
