Video report by correspondents Ilya Zemin and Ilya Izuddinov in Kamchatka; from the "Segodnya" news program

Russian Defense Minister Igor Sergeyev is continuing to inspect military units in East Siberia and the Russian Far East. Our correspondents are following his trip, wherever the minister stops.

[Begin recording] [Correspondent] [Video shows officer reporting to Sergeyev; submarines at anchor] Igor Sergeyev is completing his first inspection trip to the Far East as Defense Minister. He has a packed schedule. The Minister does not stay anywhere for longer than a day. The stop on Kamchatka turned out to be the busiest. Sergeyev made a tour of inspection of the strategic nuclear submarine Narval [Narwhal], where he issued the sudden order for the vessel to put to sea. It emerged later that the Minister was satisfied with the actions of the crew. Igor Sergeyev explained to the military the essence and the stages of the reforms. According to him, it will not prove possible to create a fully professional army within the country by the year. When Russia becomes a little richer, the Minister declared, we will see.

The money allowance last issued to the military on Kamchatka was for June, and in the garrisons transported to the peninsula, whole blocks of apartments are empty. Owing to the lack of amenities, sailors are trying to move closer to the center.

At a specially arranged meeting between the Minister and naval officers, Sergeyev assured them that people will receive the money no later than 20 August, while reorganization will leave the combat units of the Pacific Fleet virtually unaffected. We shall change only the operational control bodies, the Minister said. On Kamchatka, for instance, there are five of them. Such a cumbersome structure, as Sergeyev sees it, is simply not needed today.
