The majority (68%) of the survey participants on our agency's website believe that for the good of the cause it would be possible to send three former military commanders removed from command to the SMO zone at once: Ivan Popov, Igor Strelkov and Sergei Surovikin.
At the same time, General Sergei Surovikin has the highest rating (22%), who, after the mutiny of the Wagner PMC in August 2023, was relieved of his post as commander-in-chief of the Aerospace Forces and no longer appeared in public. Major General Ivan Popov (6%), who is currently under house arrest in a criminal case, and former DPR Defense Minister Igor Strelkov (4%), who is serving a sentence in one of the colonies "for calls to extremism", are by a wide margin from him.
The survey was conducted from August 12 to August 14, 2024. 5541 people voted.
