Here’s what he told us about father Maxim Galkin Deputy Director of the research Institute “Higher school of Economics”, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences and former first Deputy defense Minister Andrei Kokoshin:
the Father of Maxim, Colonel-General Alexander Galkin – was a great military leader, a brilliant technician, an expert in their field, a true Russian intellectual, and a patriot.
I think of him very often as his companions at work in the Ministry of defence, where it directly to me as the first Deputy defense Minister, was obeyed as the chief of the armored management, and then chief of avtobronetehnika control.
I Can say that Alexander has made an enormous contribution to the combat capability of Russia’s Armed forces and to create a reserve for the future. In particular, in the creation of a number of armoured vehicles that we chodna saw on red square, on a wonderful parade, dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Victory.
Alexander was a highly intelligent person. I was very important advice on how to behave with subordinates. He was an active opponent of all kinds of rudeness, including a Mat. He believed that rudeness too much and, against the advice of some of my other friends and comrades in the leadership of the Ministry of defence, he advised to be very careful in this. And I totally followed his advice.
