Vladimir Anatolyevich Shamanov ((ロシア語:Владимир Анатольевич Шаманов), born 1957) is a Colonel General with the Russian Armed Force, the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Airborne Troops since May 2009〔(Russia Promotes Officer Accused of War Crimes ). ''Time''. June 4, 2009〕 and a former Russian politician. ==Biography== Vladimir Shamanov is a recipient of the Hero of the Russian Federation decoration for his service in Chechnya, but has been strongly criticized by human rights groups for alleged war crimes committed by the federal troops under his orders during the First and Second Chechen Wars. Shamanov was removed from duty in January 2000, quoting health reasons, and for a period he was a civilian politician, becoming governor of the Ulyanovsk Oblast region of Russian Federation. As of 2007, Shamanov was a counselor to Russia's defense minister, Sergei Ivanov, and co-chairman of the U.S - Russia Joint Commission on POW/MIAs (USRJC) which seeks to determine the fates of U.S. personnel who remain unaccounted-for from World War II and the Cold War Era. In November 2007, his impending return to the military service has been announced. In August 2008, he commanded the Russian forces in Abkhazia during the 2008 South Ossetia war with Georgia.〔(Russia's symbolic move: Vladimir Samanov to lead peace keeping troops in Abkhazia ), ITAR-TASS, 12 August 2008〕 On August 12, 2008 he took control over 9,600 Russian servicemen in Abkhazia and led them during the fight with Georgian forces over the control over the Upper Kodori Gorge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Persoverzicht Tsjetsjeniл - augustus 2008 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Battle for Upper Kodori )〕 On 26 May 2009 Vladimir Shamanov became the new commander of the VDV, replacing Lieutenant-General Valeriy Yevtukhovich who was being discharged to the reserve.〔http://www.silobreaker.com/general-shamanov-appointed-as-commander-of-the-russian-airborne-forces-5_2262366120428175381〕 Shamanov was appointed by Dmitry Medvedev to neutralize discontent over the cuts and reorganisations as a result of the 2008 reform programme. Although Shamanov supported the programme, he cancelled all cuts and changes in the VDV and announced that the airborne troops would be reinforced.〔Åslund A., Guriev S. and Kuchins A.
