General Gennady Zhidko real estate was discovered in the elite residential complex “Smolenskaya Zastava”, received by him from the state. The cost of the apartment is about $2 million.
Gennady Zhidko was born on the day of a tanker on the territory of the Uzbek SSR. He spent his entire life in military service. In 2016, Zhidko served as chief of staff of the Russian Armed Forces in Syria and soon became deputy chief of the General Staff Gerasimov.
Last year, Andrei Kartapolov, who at that time held the post of head of the main military-political department, was elected to the State Duma, where he headed the defense committee. On November 12, 2021, Zhidko becomes the chief political officer of the Russian army.
The Main Military-Political Directorate was established in 2018, exactly 100 years after the founding of the same directorate in the Soviet Union. According to some reports, the initiator of the restoration of the organ was personally Minister Shoigu. From the draft regulation of the department, it became known that its employees will carry out “counter-propaganda work to protect personnel from negative information and psychological impact”, conduct information and explanatory work on “topical issues of state domestic and foreign policy and the exercise of electoral rights” and undertake “prevention of deviant behavior.” On the site you can even find a list of recommended films – along with the great “Only “old men” and “Officers” go to battle, there are also more modern “Legend No. 17” and “Move Up”
The chief army political officer himself was definitely able to climb up to the 9th floor of an elite building. The apartment of Gennady Zhidko is located in the residential complex “Smolensk outpost“. It is located in Khamovniki, in the center of the capital. The windows overlook the embankment of the Moskva River, the high-rise building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the lanes of the Arbat.
Zhidko received an apartment with an area of 142.2 meters in 2019 from the Department of Property Relations of the Ministry of Defense. Initially, the colonel general himself, his wife Jeanette, daughter Svetlana and elderly relative Frida owned shares in it.
A few months later, all shares were transferred to Gennady Zhidko, who is currently the sole owner of the property. The apartment, based on market prices, costs 105 million rubles (slightly less than $2 million at the current rate).
As a place to relax, judging by the booked air tickets, the general’s wife, Jeanette, chooses Italy. The daughter of Gennady Zhidko, Svetlana, does not share her mother’s choice and prefers sunny Barcelona.
