Vladimir Masorin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vladimir Vasilievich Masorin (Russian: Владимир Васильевич Масорин) (born August 24, 1947) is a Russian admiral who commanded the Caspian Flotilla in 1996-2002 and the Black Sea Fleet in 2002-2005. In September 2005, he was appointed the Commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy amid serious allegations [citation needed] of decline in Russian naval standards.
Kommersant speculated that Admiral Masorin was a temporary appointment until the new Chief of the Main Naval Staff, appointed at the same time, took command of the Navy.
