    One interesting thing I took away from it was that Shoygu who was seen looking uncomfortable at the suggestion of nuclear readiness is the only minister to serve since 1991 under all presidents but as he is Tuvan (not ethnic Russian) he is never seen as threat to becoming President so just gets to scheme away in the background and can trusted to be in control of the army

  • Nice little 'TIL' on Tuvan culture. I like on the 'notable people' list on wiki it's basically:
    shaman, shaman, throat singer, shaman, throat singer, minister of defence, throat singer
