Her appointment without a competition, lack of professional experience, and the rapid signing of dubious contracts all point to the fact that her primary role was to rubber-stamp necessary deals rather than actually manage the organization.
Understanding that the position of Defense Procurement Agency director was essentially a ticket to prison, Bezrukova seems to have decided to use her time in office to earn as much as possible before the inevitable downfall. This context sheds light on her latest actions, such as signing contracts for non-functional mines with incapable enterprises and purchasing World War II-era munitions for €600 per unit.
She could not refuse to sign the corrupt contracts, as she understood that this was part of the arrangement with those who appointed her. Refusal would have led to her immediate dismissal, or perhaps even worse consequences. In a system where decisions are made "from above," Bezrukova acted as an executor while simultaneously trying to maximize her own personal gains.
The leaked Defense Procurement Agency financial reports, organized through certain activist groups, revealed the true scale of unused funds, price manipulations, and statistical distortions. However, this leak is clearly part of the ongoing battle for the director’s position.
Currently, the spotlight is on another contender for the role — Artem Sytnyk. He is supported by the same influential groups behind the leaks. However, it is likely that another candidate is already emerging on the horizon, one who will be able to satisfy all interested parties.
As for Bezrukova, she understands that her departure is inevitable and is attempting to finalize a few last deals to secure her future. But society expects a fair investigation and accountability for all participants in the scheme, regardless of their roles.
