Putin confusing purges in the military by arresting General Papov, former southern commander. Most of top rank Generals arrested were multi-billionaires with Shoygu's deputy General Ivanov who was arrested holding over 70 billion $US, second only to Putin in Russia.
In a system structured on corruption, many were surprised by the arrest of top Generals but not Papov. Papov is said to be a Prigozyn simpathiser was sacked last year for criticising the ministry of defense,sent to Syria to shut up, prob couldn't do it on his return and was arrested on a minor bribing charge. Most of the arrested will be free soon but Papov's future is uncertain.
