  • ["The Main Military Procuracy is undergoing such rapid changes that the news agencies keep tripping over their own reports.   Reported personnel changes are suddenly refuted or turn out to apply to completely different people.   The only certainty is that former Military Prosecutor Aleksandr SAVENKOV of the Moscow Military District has replaced Yuriy YAKOVLEV as the first deputy chief military prosecutor. ... Pursuant to an order that has already been signed, Yuriy Petrovich's [Yakovlev's] seat will now be occupied by Major General Aleksandr Savenkov, the former military prosecutor of the Moscow Military District.   General Savenkov is quite young--just 40, but he is also quite experienced in his field.   He graduated from the Military Law School of the Moscow Military Institute and went to work in Siberia.   Before he ended up in the procuracy of the Moscow Military District (where, incidentally, he replaced current Chief Military Prosecutor Mikhail Kislitsyn), Aleksandr Savenkov headed the military procuracy of the Siberian Military District."

(Moskovskiy Komsomolets, 4 Feb 02).]
