On February 15, 2007 - on November 6, 2012 - the Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation.

The president Vladimir Putin explained sense of such personnel solution with the fact that in sales terms of the program of development and modernization of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation connected with expenditure of "huge budgetary funds" "the person with experience in the field of economy and finance is necessary".

Entering a position, Serdyukov designated by one of key priorities of the activity program implementation of providing the military personnel with housing^[2].

Since April 9, 2007 - the permanent member of Security Council of the Russian Federation^[3].

On September 18, 2007 - submitted the resignation because of family relations with the appointed Russian Prime Minister Victor Zubkov. However Putin did not accept resignation. On September 24 the new structure of the Government in which for Serdyukov the portfolio of the Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation^[4] was saved became known^[4].

On July 23, 2009 - on June 30, 2011 - the chairman of the board of directors of JSC Oboronservis^[5].

November 6, 2012 - Vladimir Putin dismissed^[6].

Solving in this solution became scandal corruption story with Oboronservis where Serdyukov was several years a chairman of the board of directors. Under some documents on the illegal transactions connected with sale of land of the Ministry of Defence, capital buildings and actions there are also its signatures. That is why the Investigative Committee intends to call Serdyukov for questioning to set degree of his fault. It is impossible to exclude that from the witness it can turn into the suspect or even into the defendant. The minister's figure which appeared in the center of powerful information noise around large-scale corruption in one of structures of the Ministry of Defence forced the president - the Supreme Commander to take so radical step^[7].

Besides, materials upon attempt of sale in Moscow at the cost of a share block and the real estate of property of JSC 43 Centralny eksperimentalny proizvodstvenny kombinat underestimated by 350 million rubles which is included into structure of JSC Oboronservis were reported to investigating bodies.

It became known later that field investigators delayed one of heads of the firm which was responsible for implementation of property of Oboronservis company under control of the Russian Defense Ministry. For 3 million rubles of the acting CEO of the company offered significant reduction of price of objects, "acceleration" of sales process and registration of request for proposals on official electronic platform.

Relatives of the minister Serdyukov also were involved in scandal. According to operational data, the husband of the sister of Serdyukov Galina Valery Puzikov builds a cottage with a total area of 800 sq.m in the territory which the Ministry of Defence received in property under construction of radar station and other objects on the bank of the Black Sea near Anapa^[8].

Besides, recently Serdyukov entered dangerous confrontation with control and law enforcement agencies and also with a number of "heavy" figures in the government. The management of the Defense Ministry sometimes refused to provide reporting documents to Accounts Chamber, FSB and Investigative Committee about activity of Oboronservis and did not react to the offenses revealed by them. At Serdyukov began "spark" the relations with the management of the military-industrial commission and Rostekhnologii corporation. What often prevented normal work.

In addition, in the Kremlin began to understand that a number of the solutions of Serdyukov concerning reform of army, purchases of foreign arms, mobilization readiness, military medicine, military education and others undermine combat readiness of troops.

Well and at last, Serdyukov could not execute the main mission - to bridle corruption in army. Civil people whom he brought into the Ministry of Defence for the solution of this task began to drag money from military treasury even more, than their predecessors. Corruption in the Ministry of Defence, according to the Chief military prosecutor Sergey Fridinsky, reached "space scales. Began to steal so many that did not manage to spend".

Experts note two characteristics of the HR policy of Serdyukov: the aspiration to rejuvenation of the highest command structure and a rate on civil specialists^[12].

As for specific results, analysts meet that Serdyukov's reform can be considered successful in the main directions: transition from military districts to operational and strategic commands, reduction of command bodies, transition to a brigade basis, reorganization of military education, outsourcing implementation.

Among failures call a transition failure generally to completing of staff by contract servicemen and also problems in the field of state defense order where the Ministry of Defence was adopted for reduction of prices, clashing with the management of defense industry enterprises.

Supporters emphasize that he became the first Minister of Defence in Post-Soviet Russia who managed to start large-scale reform of the army which lost fighting capacity.
