- the most famous military commissar of Runet, the hero of meme-advises associated with conscripts. A smiling man in military uniform, who sits at the table and looks slyly into the camera, has become a nightmare for all students. It is this meme that embodies jokes about the army, conscripts and different ways to hang out.

Origin

A man in the form of a famous meme is a real military commissar. His name is Nikolai Zakharov. He served as a military commissar of the Chelyabinsk region from 2009 to 2011.

On April 15, 2011, at a press conference, Zakharov told reporters that the volume of conscription for the Southern Urals had been increased by 200 people. The military commissar admitted that this was due to the unspoken order of the Ministry of Defense not to call up Caucasians for service.

Representatives of the ministry immediately rushed to refute what Zakharov had said: “No one in the Ministry of Defense has given such an order and never will. Maybe at that moment the military commissar was thinking about something else. Journalists noted that the military commissar repeated several times the words about the initiative of the Ministry of Defense and added on his own behalf that the absence of Caucasians among the soldiers would reduce hazing.

In early May, Zakharov was fired, the official reason was not reported, but journalists and human rights activists were sure that the whole thing was the disclosure of clearly inside information about the draft. Because of the scandal, the military commissar was often written about and his photograph from official sources of the Ministry of Defense was often used as an illustration.

Users liked the photo of a smiling military commissar who sits at a table and looks slyly into the camera. Advises with him went to "Peekaboo", in the public "VKontakte" and other Russian-language resources.

In May 2014, Zakharov was again appointed to the post of military commissar of the Chelyabinsk region, but he did not stay long in this post. Already in October, Nikolai was appointed commander of the 15th separate motorized rifle peacekeeping brigade of the Central Military District, stationed in the Samara region.

New photos of Nikolai began to appear in the media, there were attempts to continue the meme about the military commissar. But here Zakharov already looks quite serious and does not produce the proper comic effect.

Meaning

Memes with the military commissar Zakharov are used in jokes about students who did not pass the exam or simply study poorly. These are some kind of motivators to get young people to take up their minds. The concentration of memes about the military commissar increases during the session.

Colonel Nikolai Zakharov, head of the combat training department of the Central Military District of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, has been removed from his post.

According to a well-informed source among the Ural military, the personnel decision is due to the fact that Zakharov entered the Military Academy of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces (for the same reason, Lieutenant General Taras Isakov, First Deputy Commander of the Ural District of the Russian Guard Troops, has now been relieved of his post). In case of successful completion of the required training course, Zakharov, as his colleagues hope, will return to duty. Moreover, he will be able to claim already for the general's epaulettes.

Colonel Zakharov is a fairly well-known personality in the Urals. He was born on December 10, 1965 in the village of Shatrovo, Kurgan Region. In 1989 he graduated from the Chelyabinsk Higher Tank School, in 2002 - the Combined Arms Academy. Service began in 1989. Participated in the Chechen campaign and has a number of awards.

Nikolai Zakharov appointed military commissar of the Chelyabinsk region

From 2007 to 2009, Zakharov served as Deputy Military Commissar of the Penza Region. From 2009 to 2011 he was the military commissar of the Chelyabinsk region. From this post, he was forced to leave immediately. The reason, as they wrote then, was his careless phrase, said during a press conference dedicated to the next conscription to the RF Armed Forces.

“This time, people of the North Caucasian nationalities living in the region were also exempted from conscription,” Zakharov said at the time. At the same time, he referred to the order of the General Staff. This statement has been taken into account. The scandal has reached the federal level. Zakharov began to be accused of discrimination against the natives of the North Caucasus on a national basis. Three years after that, the honored officer was forced to spend in civilian life, working in the collection service of Sberbank. By 2014, the scandal was forgotten, and he was able to return to military service.

Reserve Colonel Nikolai Zakharov, who served intermittently in Chelyabinsk as a regional military commissar since 2009, returned to active duty this year. To do this, he submitted a report on command and passed the certification commission. The officer was summoned to Moscow, where, after an interview, the deputy head of the Main Personnel Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation congratulated him on his return to duty and wished him success in serving the Fatherland. And on August 22, an order was issued by the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation on personnel, by which Zakharov was called up from the reserve for active military service and sent to the 473rd Interspecific Lisichansky Red Banner Training Center for the Training of Junior Commanders and Specialists of the Central Military District as deputy head of this training unit. Thus, the drafting and sending to serve in the troops of the former military commissar from the Southern Urals took place for the first time in the four-year history of the Central Military District.

Dossier

Nikolai Zakharov was born in 1965 in the district center of Shatrovo, Kurgan Region. In 1983 he was called up for military service. After the training part, he served in Primorye as the commander of the T-62 tank. After completing his military service, he entered the Chelyabinsk Higher Tank Command School. He went from commander of a tank platoon to commander of a guards motorized rifle regiment.
Colonel Nikolai Zakharov graduated from the Combined Arms Academy of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and South Ural State University. For distinction in battles against gangs in the North Caucasus, he was awarded the Order of Courage and "For Military Merit".

On October 16, Colonel Zakharov, by order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, was appointed commander of the 15th separate motorized rifle brigade of the 2nd Guards Army of the Central Military District. Arriving at a new duty station, he headed this well-known peacekeeping unit in the Armed Forces. And on October 22, at a conference call with the leadership of the district, the commander of the Central Military District, Colonel-General Vladimir Zarudnitsky, introduced the new commander of the peacekeeping brigade to the generals and officers. By the way, when General Zarudnitsky commanded the 27th Guards Motorized Rifle Division of the 2nd Guards Army from 2003 to 2005, Colonel Zakharov was his subordinate during these years - the chief of staff and commander of the 506th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment.
Officer Nikolai Zakharov is highly appreciated not only by his commanders and colleagues, but also by local journalists and bloggers. So, the well-known blogger in the South Urals Alexei Tabalov called him a sincere and sincere, adequate and reasonable person, of which there are not so many not only in the army, but also in civilian life.
The new commander of the peacekeeping brigade explained to the Krasnaya Zvezda correspondent the reasons for his decision to join the army again:
- I was prompted to this by good role models of senior officers, under whose command I had to serve and fight. So, the governor of the Ulyanovsk region was Lieutenant General of the Reserve Vladimir Shamanov, who had previously been my commander in the 58th army. After his governorship and work in the federal government, Vladimir Anatolyevich returned to the cadres of the Armed Forces, and since 2009 he became the commander of his native Airborne Forces. A good example was also set in the past by my direct and immediate superior, Major General Aleksey Salmin. He was the commander of the 27th Guards Motorized Rifle Division, and I was commander of the 506th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment with him. Aleksey Nikolaevich was appointed head of the Novosibirsk Higher Combined Arms Command School, for family reasons I left for Penza as deputy regional military commissar. But General Salmin returned to the troops and last year began to command the Ussuri army. So I followed the path of my senior comrades and commanders ...
Colonel Nikolai Zakharov, in his new position as commander of the 15th separate motorized rifle brigade, began to work without buildup. Once again voluntarily mobilized and called up for daily and intense command work, he is now busy with his usual and favorite business.

A new military commissar has been appointed in the Chelyabinsk region. The commander of the Central Military District refused to renew the contract with Alexander Bochkarev, and this place was taken by his predecessor Nikolai Zakharov. He headed the regional commissariat three years ago - until he became famous in the media with a story about a ban on conscripting residents of the North Caucasus into the army.

According to UralPolit.Ru experts, a number of criminal cases prompted the leadership of the Central Military District to invite Zakharov back and dismiss Bochkarev. Details are in the material of the expert channel.

The return of Nikolai Zakharov to the leadership of the military registration and enlistment office of the Chelyabinsk region in the region has been talked about for a long time. However, this information was officially confirmed in the Central Military District only today, on May 28, by sending out a release of a couple of lines to the media stating that Zakharov was appointed to the post by order of the commander of the military district. Neither the reasons for the termination of the contract with the previous military commissar, nor the date of signing such an order are specified in the message. They do not particularly cover this topic in the Central Military District itself, referring only to the information of the official report. “He has been appointed and has already begun to perform his official duties,” explained the assistant commander of the Central Military District. Yaroslav Roshchupkin.

Already on Tuesday, May 27, Zakharov met with the Vice-Governor of the Chelyabinsk Region, Yevgeny Redin, discussing the daily activities of the military commissariat of the Chelyabinsk Region and the course of the spring conscription into the army as part of a working meeting. At the same time, the military commissar also arranged a working meeting with Acting Governor Boris Dubrovsky in connection with his appointment to the post. The date of its holding has not yet been announced.

Meanwhile, the people of South Urals are speculating what prompted the Central Military District to reshuffle the heads of the military registration and enlistment office in the Chelyabinsk region at the height of the draft campaign. One of the versions is the recent scandal with a scam during the burial of veterans of the Great Patriotic War in Satka, which developed into a criminal case on fraud and the dismissal of the local military commissar Oleg Krasovskikh. Recall that a private company, in which the military commissar worked as a commercial director, according to preliminary data, illegally earned more than a million rubles from the funerals of veterans and the installation of gravestones for them, which she did not carry out. At the same time, the military registration and enlistment office itself carried out the settlement with the company and the verification of the documentation.
