After graduating from the Voroshilov General Staff Academy in 1984, he became the deputy commander of the 2nd Guards Tank Army and 1985 commander of the 8th Guards Army within the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany. In 1987–1989 he was working in Leningrad〔 as Chief of Staff, First Deputy Commander of the Leningrad Military District.〔Schofield, 1993, says commander, but this does not appear to be correct. Schofield, 1993, 264.〕 From January 1989 till December 1990 he was commander of the Soviet Airborne Forces. In December 1990, unexpectedly, "with no preliminary discussion, none of the usual procedures such as interviews with the Central Committee or the Poltburo,"〔Carey Schofield, "The Russian Elite: Inside Spetsnaz and the Airborne Forces," Greenhill Books, London, 1993, 201-202.〕 he was made a deputy minister of defence. This lasted until August 1991. After the August 1991 coup he was sent to a santiorium, "the usual preliminary to enforced retirement."〔Schofield, 1993, 228.〕 He was also a member of Supreme Council of Russian Soviet Republic in 1990–1993.〔 He was a supporter of the failed coup attempts of 1991 and 1993. In his later years he led a union of veteran paratroopers and organised a large protest against military reform. Achalov died at a Moscow hospital on 23 June 2011, aged 65.〔(Rebel General Dies ) The Moscow Times, 24 June 2011〕〔(Soviet general Vladislav Achalov dies at 65 ) CBS News, 24 June 2011〕 He was married in 1974 to Larisa Pavlovna Gudzi, and had a son and daughter.〔Schofield, 1993, 264.〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vladislav Achalov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
