Putin hires army of sycophants to fight terrorism!
Maybe he meant to hire a Sikh army instead. His
changes to help fight terrorism aren't really going to help. The problem isn't a shortage of federal cronyism, but that a bunch of fucktard zealots want to kill Russians. The Russian army lacks the training, motivation, and flexibility to combat the seperatists and their terrorist friends, something not addressed by any of Putin's changes. Rather than try to make any of the Russian armies useful, Putin plans to make a new one, modelled on the Department of Homeland Security, which was modelled on the Russian Interior Ministry (which is completely unlike our Department of the Interior). Putin has put forth a lot of 'reforms' to fight terrorism and some threats to kill terrorists, but the Russians have no plan that actually involved going to where the terrorists are and killing them.
Goe, doubts that a bunch of yes-men will stop terrorists.
