Apparently Russia have stamped out the corruption, at least in the military. At the start of the war they found that all the uniforms for example that were ordered and paid for were never delivered, and there were 30 year old uniform only in storage.

On May 12, 2024, Russian president Vladimir Putin unexpectedly appointed Andrey Belousov to succeed Sergei Shoigu as Russian minister of defense. Belousov, a relatively unknown Russian bureaucrat, is an economist by trade and worked as Putin’s economic assistant from 2013 to 2020 before transitioning into the role of deputy prime minister in January 2020. Notably, Belousov is the first Russian defense minister without prior military experience. His appointment reflects the Kremlin’s recognition of the role that a strong industrial base plays in their war of attrition against Ukraine.
