The Russian system is highly centralized. They only do the work when there’s a senior commander’s iron will, Arestovich said.
The Russian army was the Soviet army at its worst. Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the head of the Office of the President, said this in an interview with Meduza, published on April 24.
“What was the Soviet concept of an offensive? It was a group of special forces and paratroopers thrown behind enemy lines, beginning to sow panic. It was a tactic of shock and amazement to panic and flee. authorities, to destroy control and communication centers. Really excited, “said Arestovich.
According to him, in the first three days, Ukrainian forces also sank sharply: many local leaders, some military, representatives of special services, local authorities and the population.
According to him, those who do not know what to fear kept the situation in Ukraine in check: they calmly fired on Russian tanks and shot down planes.
“If we are a centralized country that has time to carry out Western -style reforms, I think we will be defeated. But we have remained in our beloved Ukrainian mess, and no one knows that you cannot fight without orders from the central government … And when we regained control and we were no longer afraid, on the third or fifth day, everything went well, “he said.
The Russian system is highly centralized. They only do the work when there’s a senior commander’s iron will, Arestovich said.

The adviser also explained to the head of the OP what the “way of fighting Russia” was.
“You drive out to a crossroads, there are 60-90 units of burned equipment, corpses are lying around or broken pieces – and you still leave and stand there. They fly at you, but you’re still standing. Because the authorities from at the headquarters in Moscow, it said crossroads to go, and they go there over and over again. They’re too over-centralized, “he said.
Arestovich noted that many say Russia started the war wrong, but he disagrees with it.
“They started right. It’s just that this war was designed for the type of hostilities where we give up and raise our paws in three days. But we didn’t. And then that’s it,” the adviser said.
