Military career
Is anything known about his military career before becoming minister of defense? --188.23.202.126 (talk) 12:37, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I suppose that, during his education at the Moscow State University, he also studied at the military department within this university, because at the Soviet times, such education was mandatory for all male students. So, simultaneously with graduation from the university, he should become lieutenant and subsequently could be drafted till the age of 27. But in 1981 (the year of the graduation from the university), he enrolled at postgraduate school and had a deferment from the call to military service as a postgraduate-student (in USSR, each had maximum 2 deferments from the conscription based on professional stydying: for example, first - as a student of the university, second - as a student of the postgraduate-school; or first - as a student of the vocational school, second - as a student of the university or institute). In 1986, he successfully defended his thesis and became a candidade of sciences. People with an academic degree were exempt from the conscription (no matter as soldier or as officer). He didn't serve in the Soviet or in the Russian armed forces, that's for sure. As for his education at the military department within the Moscow State University, his promotion to the military rank of lieutenant, and his military occupational specialty, it is needed to find a relevant sources.

Early life
Hi, I noticed that “His mother was chemist” in the early life section should say “His mother was a chemist”. Thank you. 73.4.247.67 (talk) 23:14, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 26 June 2024
In section 3.5 "Minister of Defence (2024–)", a new part should be added regarding a phone call between U.S. Defense Secretary Austin speaking with Belousov.
