Russian War Hero Named New Chief Of All Red Armies
Marshal Alexander M. Vasilevsky will lead the Soviet armed forces succeeding Marshal Nikolai Bulganin as minister of armed forces. Vasilevsky, a WWII warrior and tactician, rose from major general to army general in 1943 and to marshal shortly after, joining the Supreme Soviet. Bulganin will remain deputy prime minister and politburo member. The reshuffle aligns with a pattern of shifting politburo members to focus on policy.
